Description


  • Round-trip transportation from a convenient meeting point!
  • Air-conditioned, fully licensed, and insured transportation!
  • English-speaking certified shore excursion guide!
  • Complimentary cold bottled water!
  • Small groups only!
  • No big buses with cruise crowds!

Small groups ensure a more personal guided excursion. Please note that there is a minimum of 4 needed - if we have other bookings, you can be combined.

Your certified, English-speaking guide will meet you at a location near the downtown cruise terminal. The air-conditioned transportation will first take you downtown. The guide will be giving you the history of the island as well as some local folklore and background. You will pass by some of the neighborhoods on the way across the transversal road that cuts across the island.

You will enjoy a tour to learn about tequila and its process from growing to distilling. There will be samples to taste and the opportunity to purchase a bottle of your favorite.

You will then continue to the uninhabited Eastside of the island which is also called the wild side. Known for its vast open beaches framed by the turquoise-blue Caribbean water...you won't find any touristy commercialism here! Just stunning stretches of beach filled with photo ops.

You will stop at the highest point on the island, Coconuts Restaurant. Located at 41ft above sea level, Coconuts offers spectacular views, cold beverages, and good food all of which you will have the chance to enjoy...you may purchase something from the menu and relax.

Your shore excursion guide will take you past the southernmost point of the island, Punta Sur Eco Park, and continue to the first settlement on the island, El Cedral. This tiny settlement played a significant role with the Mayans and in the history of Cozumel. Your guide will tell you all about it and show you the ancient Mayan ruins there along with the first church in Cozumel. There are numerous shops you can shop and browse.

The excursion will continue to the heart of the island for some downtown shopping. Your guide will help you locate just what you are looking for and assist in getting you the best deals. From Talavera pieces, sombreros, blankets, vanilla, name brand fine jewelry and diamonds, silver, t-shirts...you can find just about everything.

At the end of your Cozumel excursion time, you have the choice to go back to your ship or to remain in downtown Cozumel and return to your ship later at your convenience and expense.

Great tour. We got to see what we wanted at the pace we chose,. Freddy is a very, well informed guide. He went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and gave us a good picture of life on the island. I definitely recommend this excursion.

Fredy was amazing and toured us the whole island of Cozumel! He stopped where we wanted to stop and took us to places he thought we would enjoy. He even picked us up at the cruise ship dock where he doesn’t typically pickup and provided a car seat for my infant son. I highly recommend doing this tour and you will be so lucky if you get Fredy!

Best Cozumel Excursion Yet

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this tour. The guide, Freddy, is very friendly and flexible. He went out of his way to make sure we enjoyed ourselves. My only suggestion is to get a general idea of the places you would like to visit in advance. He will make sure it happens. We did the tequila factory then headed over to Punta Sur. Punta Sur is about a 40 minute drive from port. He took us to see the crocodiles and light house at Punta Sur. Then we visited a beach club for lunch. After Punta Sur he dropped us off close to port for some shopping. Also, this is a great deal! Only $35 per person for a private guide/van. Bring extra cash for tips and admission to Punta Sur (if you plan to visit). This was hands down my favorite Cozumel excursion yo date. I will book again when we return. THANK YOU TO FREDDY FOR BEING SO HOSPITABLE!

Freddy was the best tour guide ever. He took us to lots of places. Airport, Military base, Catholic Church, Tequila tasting, plus lots of stops for pictures, lunch. Shopping area with cheap prices. We weren’t interested in beach break so that was fine with him. Will request Freddy next trip.

We took this tour with myself, my husband and our 3 teens. Our guide Fredy was very accommodating and told us a lot of interesting info about the island. He was so kind and funny and made it a very relaxing tour. We hit all of the spots promised on the description when we booked and Fredy also took us to a few extra spots and did his best to please all of the age groups in the vehicle. He had us back to the cruise port in plenty of time to do some more shopping and get back on the ship in time. The only hiccup was that Fredy had to pick up some people who weren't on the cruise but staying on the island and that delayed his pickup to us by about 20 minutes but he was very apologetic and it didn't shorten our tour at all so we didn't mind. We recommend this if you're looking for an easy relaxing day, not too much walking and learning more about Cozumel!

Freddie was a great tour guide. He took us all around the island and told us a lot of information we wouldn’t have known on our own. He asked what we were interested in and catered to our requests. Thoroughly enjoyed our private tour and would recommend to anyone.

I am really happy with you guys offering such great tours. Our family and I took the Best of Cozumel and Freddie was our guide, he was awesome, very friendly, fluid English speaker. He made this tour awesome and he allow us to customize the stops, so we saw what we were interested to see. We did the Chocolate factory, tequila tour, the main venue and also have time to go around the other side of the island for beach time. Thumbs up for Freddie and Shore Excursioneer.

Freddie was our driver, and he was outstanding. From the time he picked us up, until he returned us to our ship, he was our private driver. He took us to several of his recommended sites, and allowed us to direct him to anywhere we wanted to go. He took us to an outstanding restaurant for lunch that was right on the beach. I would recommend this tour for anybody wanting to see this island.

Freddie was our driver and he spoke good English and was very informative. He made us laugh and took us anywhere we wanted to go with plenty of leisure time. Enjoyed this tour and appreciated Freddie waiting with a sign at Senior Frog and dropping us right back at our cruise ship when we asked. We did have to take an $8.00 taxi ride to get to Senior Frog to begin the tour.

Once we debarked off of the Carnival Paradise, we were taxied to Señor Frogs. Fredy was right there waiting for the six of us. He was very accommodating. He started the van as we used the banos, got it cool and began the tour. He showed us everything we could've ever imagined. From the tequila tasting, to the presidential palace, to the Air Force, and to the Mayan ruins, he was awesome. He went out of his way to even help me get a passport stamp, but immigration told us no souvenir stamps issued. Fredy tried. I highly recommend the excursion and hope you get Fredy as your local guide. You'll love him. We did! Mark - West Virginia, USA

This was a great way to see Cozumel when we stopped on a cruise. We booked it a few weeks in advance and the driver was waiting exactly where our instructions said. Everything was handled perfectly and there were no surprises. We had never been to Cozumel and enjoyed what we saw. Our driver was wonderful and his English was almost fluent. I highly recommend this to anyone wanting a safe and reliable sightseeing excursion of the island.

We had a small group and that was perfect. In our van, there were only 6 of us. The ship tour was on big buses - so glad we did not do that! Our guide spoke fluent English with hardly an accent. He told us alot about the island and the history of the Mayans. We had a brief rain shower during the tour but it passed so quickly it did not matter. I would defiantly like to spend more time in Cozumel some day.

A good way to see the island of Cozumel. My friends and I enjoyed this a lot. There were 5 in our group - my two friend and myself along with 2 other people from another ship. It seems all of us choose this tour because we had been on those crowded tour buses with the ship excursions in the past. Our driver was so nice and his English was flawless. He was waiting right outside the cruise terminal for us. The van was clean and the air conditioning was nice. He showed us many sights along the route and took our photos at each stop. He even showed one of my friends where to buy the type of hammock he had been looking for.

This was a very nice way to see the island on our last cruise. I have never been to Cozumel and enjoyed it. I was a little nervous about booking a tour that was not with the cruise ship but I had nothing to worry about. I am planning my next cruise and will book another tour with them.
