Cozumel tour with Sergio Our tour guide, Sergio, was absolutely amazing! From the moment we met, it felt like we were traveling with family. He was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing interesting facts at every stop, and took us to the most beautiful and unique spots. Not only did he ensure we experienced the best of everything, but he also went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and well cared for—offering us water, beers, and plenty of adventure along the way. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and can’t wait to see him again for another unforgettable tour!

SERGIO, SERGIO, and SERGIO I literally just got back on the ship as I am writing this review because I can not begin to emphasize how amazing Sergio made our experience. At first I was a little skeptical about booking a private tour for 8 people including children because of all the scary things we hear in the exterior but let me tell you this was by far the most amazing experience in our wonders of the seas cruise so far. Sergio made us feel safe, he was overly educated on his island and had answers to any questions we had. He provided us with nice cold beverages and took us to secret and private spots that had little to no people. He went as far as customizing our experience since we don’t drink alcohol and took us to a cenote that was beyond magical. For the time we spent with Sergio he became a part of our family. We are coming by again hopefully on icon of the seas next year and we are 10000% calling Sergio.
Lol he even got in the cenote with us and enjoyed the ice cold water at the end of our trip.

Tania and Sergio were absolutely amazing and would 100% return when we come back to Mexico! We did it on our cruise stop and we couldn’t have asked for a better day! Tania and Sergio gave us clear directions and we made a stop at a Tequila ranch before we got to cooking. Truly an authentic cultural experience.

Ask for Fernando! Fernando was the best tour guide I’ve ever had! He was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all of our questions. It felt more like hanging out with a friend while he showed us the island rather than an average tour. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone.

Good way to see Cozemel My son and I met with Tania and spent the day driving around Cozumel. Tequila tour was cool. Guy was funny and not pushy about buying anything. Saw several people jump in the cenote but we opted not to with all the bats and their guano. Very cool to see though. Had a nice lunch and saw lots of fish whike snorkeling. Tania took us to a place to get souvenirs that were more affordable than area near pier. Overall a great experience and Tania was great!

Tons of great food, drink, and friendly company—and oh yeah, we also learned to cook! We took this cooking class as an excursion when our cruise landed in Cozumel. Sergio and Tanya made this a great experience—they made us feel comfortable, Tanya is a wonderful cook, and Sergio definitely kept the margaritas (two kinds) and cerveza flowing! They were very generous with their time and their food. My one piece of advice to other people taking this class is to pace yourself, because the salsa and guacamole were so good that I was full before we even made the main dish! If you are in Cozumel, definitely take this class!

Great Family Kitchen Experience Our family of nine people all loved this experience - even the 4 teenagers.
Tanya and Sergio met us at the market. After asking a few questions about our food preferences, Tanya shopped and showed us around the market. Very interesting. We then hopped in their two cars and made a stop for a little taquila tasting to start the day. We moved on to Tanya's house where the chopping and cooking began and we tasted absolutely delicious food for the next 2 hours. She and Sergio made us feel so welcome and were delightful company the entire time.
I absolutely recommend this for all the foodies out there and for anyone who wants an experience in a Mexican home.

Fabulous time in Cozumel We were nine of us, ranging from 12 to 79 years old, and joined by two others from another ship. We were met at the central market by Tania and Sergio; both spoke excellent English and were both delightful company. First we watched as they bought ingredients from vendors in the market the real thing, not a touristy sham. Then we helped prepare the ingredients and watched as Tania prepared a delicious lunch, explaining everything as she went along. Sergio meanwhile mixed delicious margaritas and other drinks for us while we ate, and when finished, they took us back to our cruise ship. A wonderful experience, enjoyed by everyone in our party, from the youngest to the oldest!!! Cannot recommend enough!

Friends Adventure in Cozumel Loved this excursion! This was perfect for our group of friends as we were on a cruise and wanted an adventure during our time in Cozumel. This tour did not disappoint as it was truly crafted to take us all over the island.
The meet up spot was very easy and simple to find and then we were able to hop into the jeep and immediately start touring. The jeeps were clean and air conditioned
Our tour guide Alex was awesome and spoke great English. He did a great job and had a cooler stock full of drinks, Mexican soda and water.
We enjoyed our stops at the Tequila Ranch, Highest point in Cozumel, visiting a Cenote, and opportunity to snorkel and eat authentic Mexican food.
Lastly, when we needed to add 2 more individuals to our reservations, the company was great, accommodating and flexible as we were able to make changes day of.
Five stars ️️️️️ as I highly recommend this company and plan to use the, again if I’m in Cozumel

Great cooking experience! We enjoyed grocery shopping with Tania and then helping with the food prep. She answered all of our questions and the multicourse meal was delicious. She also gave us recipes so we can try the dishes at home. Highly recommend this wonderful cooking experience!

Make time for this Awesome. Simply terrific. It may be unsettling for some Americans, as Tania picks you up and drives you to her place for the meal- so you’re with a person you never met in an unknown location. Don’t fret! Tania is friendly, kind and a terrific cook. She makes the whole experience a pleasure. And the food! Out of this world.

Tania was great! Her style of cooking was so informative and easy to understand and the food was Delicious! Try it! Tania was so skilled at Mexican cooking sharing her buffet styles of preparing the dishes. True Mexican cuisine involves different spices and combinations of food that create a blend of delectable delight! We recommend this tour for sure!

Great day, delicious food! We wanted to get off the tourist path and enjoy some authentic Mexican cuisine. Our host Tanya was very hospitable and knowledgeable. Had fun visiting the market to get the food. In the kitchen she kept the food coming! All of it was so good and fun to help prepare. Loved that she shared the recipes as well. We would love to come back and do with our family!

Perfect for families! We had an amazing experience with our guide Sergio, he was so educated and personable. I prefer supporting small local business and giving back to the community that so heavily relies on tourism. I 100% recommend this service! If ever back, will book again!

Great experience and food Ricardo was our guide. I was traveling with my mom who has hard time traveling due to the health condition, but she really wanted to see pieces of Mayan history and culture with her own eyes. Ricardo was very accommodating and my mom had a blast visiting these sacred places. Thank you!

Great tour Sergio was a gracious and fun guide. It was a great tour and wonderful to see more of the island. Tequila tasting, mayan ruins, a mangrove swamp (including seeing a baby crocodile) and the lighthouse - all great! The view from the top of the lighthouse was beautiful. Lunch was delicious- the fish was so tasty.

Relaxed Cosumel island tour with private driver Gave Very Good as it was above Average and driver drove us all the time, so we can relax and not to be stressed on bumpy roads.
Tequila place we visited was one-star, and our friend had better experience in other place.
It was windy all the day and we are happy that we opted out buggy tour roads are so dusty!
Food was good, just small portion.
Unfortunately due to wind East side was not swimmable.

Thank you, Pedro!!! One of the best days, ever! First off, let me say that our guide Pedro, is one of the most knowledgeable, fun, kind, and friendly people we have ever met. He made this the most enjoyable experience our family could have ever asked for! We learned about tequila, chocolate, guacamole, the Spanish language, turtle rescue, the history of the island, conservation, scuba diving, cenotes, salsa, and the list goes on and on what a day!
We started by meeting him in downtown, and although our ship dropped us at a different port, the business was so incredibly accommodating. We took a taxi to the original drop off location, but if we had called they would have adjusted for us. Once we met him we hopped in the jeep and were off.
Our day started with a short tour of the downtown area, with a bit of history of the Mayans, and explanation of the monuments we were seeings. Our next stop was a tequila tasting and lesson. We were traveling with my 13 and 10 year old and they even thought it was interesting. There was a chocolate tasting, so we did that as well. It was a pleasant experience, and we did end up buying some chocolate and peanut butter tequila too
We then traveled the coast where we stopped and saw the neighborhood gator, looked at some beautiful beaches and took some photos, and learned all about sea turtle rescue and island conservation. We want to go back again in the summer so we can experience the turtle hatching and help with rescue!
It was around lunchtime, so Pedro gave us the choice of where we might want to eat. We chose to wait to eat towards the end of our trip, so we kept going. We appreciated the choices and options he provided. He adjusted for our families interests, and that made the experience so nice.
Next was our trip into El Cedral and the Jade Cenote. The history and culture in El Cedral was so incredibly special. It was just a beautiful area, and we loved learning about the people that lived there and the celebrations the area holds.
When we arrived at the Jade Cenote there were a lot of tourist groups. Pedro helped us line jump and we decided to swim. My husband and son jumped off the dock, but my daughter and I decided to jump from the hole above. It was exhilarating! One of the coolest things I have ever experienced! We didn’t stay there long, but that was ok. It was all about the experience. There may have been risks with the water quality (lots of bats in the cenote- so cool to see though) and the jump, but for adventure seekers like me, it was AWESOME!
After our jump and swim, Pedro had cold beers and non alcoholic drinks waiting for us. We then did some shopping and learning in the center of El Cedral, where he took us to see the only remaining Mayan ruins on the island. We had learned about the black coral and we stopped at one of the local jewelers where we were able to purchase some beautiful pieces to remember our journey.
Next we were off to lunch and snorkeling. The water was very rough that day, so Pedro gave us a choice whether to swim in the shallows for a few or check out another cenote. We could see snorkeling would be tough, so we adjusted our trip again and did a leisurely lunch and then visited a second cenote, which much was very different from the first. Although we were really looking forward to snorkeling, you can’t determine God’s plans with the weather, so again we were grateful for Pedro adjusting to make our day an amazing experience.
We ate lunch at Tortugas, had delicious fajitas, and Pedro sat and ate with us, teaching us about food, culture, and history the whole time. He even snuck into the kitchen to get us some Habanero salsa to try!
We made it back to our port in plenty of time to do a little shopping and say goodbye. I didn’t go in for a hug, but I wanted to! It felt like we were on a day of adventure with a lifelong friend and it made for a magical and memorable experience. This was our last adventure on a 9 day trip spanning four different countries, and my 10 year old son said it was his favorite day ever because of Pedro.
If you are considering this tour, do it. We would do it again in a heartbeat! If you can request a guide, we HIGHLY recommend Pedro!
If you read this, Pedro, thank you for making this the best experience ever. As we said, we are waiting for you to come to Michigan to scuba the Great Lakes! We will have a room waiting! You’ll get used to the cold. We swear!

Great adventure! Sergio was one of the best tour guides I’ve had. He made is feel like family and we spent the whole time talking about culture, history, interesting topics and laughing the whole time. He def is on our list going forward for tours when we come back to Cozumel. Great time!

Sergio is awesome! Sergio was an extraordinary tour guide, far surpassing all of our expectations from the very beginning. Opting for the private tour which included tequila tasting, a visit to the enchanting Baby Beach, and an unforgettable snorkeling experience, we were treated to an adventure that was both immersive and deeply personal. Sergio's knowledge and passion for the area shone through in every aspect of the tour, making us feel not only welcomed but truly part of something special.The tequila tasting was an exquisite journey through flavors and traditions, where Sergio expertly guided us through each sample, sharing stories and insights that enriched the experience immeasurably. At Baby Beach, his local knowledge led us to serene spots that felt like our own private paradise, away from the usual crowds. And snorkeling was simply breathtaking under his guidance, revealing a vibrant underwater world that we might have missed without his expert eye.What set Sergio apart was his ability to make every moment feel tailored and personal, ensuring that we were always comfortable, engaged, and thoroughly entertained. His warmth and genuine enthusiasm for sharing his love of the region made us feel not just like tourists, but like honored guests.I cannot recommend Sergio highly enough. Whether you're seeking adventure, relaxation, or a blend of both, his tours offer an unforgettable experience that will leave you with memories to cherish for a lifetime. Truly, Sergio embodies the spirit of hospitality and adventure, making every moment of our tour an absolute joy.

Fun and informational tour We did the dune buggy tour and had a great time. Pedro our guide was very knowledgeable and taught us a lot. We felt lucky to have him.
The tequila tasting was interesting but we didn’t buy any bottles. At the eco park we saw crocodiles and other animals. Didn’t get to snorkel cause the water was too rough but the beach club we went to was nice.

Memorable Day This was the perfect excursion and exactly what we hoped for. We got to tour the island and visit very unique, beautiful and memorable places. The places we visited were picturesque with beautiful natural scenery. Our lunch was delicious and relaxing as I was also able to get a wonderful massage. Our tour guide and new friend Ricardo was amazing. He took us to places we requested and even some unique unexpected spots that we will remember always. We loved hearing his stories and experiences of the island as well as his volunteer sea turtle work. Thank you so much for this memorable day!!!

A great time! Sergio was great! We were a family of 6, so he took half of us in one Jeep and I drove the rest of us in a second Jeep. We visited the Tequila Ranch, a small, quiet beach, Jade Cavern, and then had lunch at the Tortugas beach club. We could have snorkeled, but my grandparents were having a rough day so we decided to leave early and get them back to the ship.
I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking for something fun and scenic in Cozumel!

Great family trip off the beaten path! We had an amazing day with Ricardo! We have seen all the popular spots in Cozumel and we were looking for something more “local” without the crowds - this tour was exactly that! Ricardo was so knowledgeable and we never felt rushed. This was a great tour and we will def come back to use Jeep Riders again.

Great day trip from PDC Great day out with Sergio. He made sure we were comfortable at all times and tailored activities to our needs. Highlights were the tequila stop and lunch.
We’d been considering hiring a buggy and driving ourselves but we would have missed most of what we did (added stops to a cenote and a blow hole).

Beautiful stops and wonderful guide Ricardo was our guide and he was amazing! Very knowledgeable about the history and ecosystem. We loved hearing about the sea turtles. Our group swam in Jade Caverns, which was a little murky and smelled like sulfur, but we really enjoyed it. We also stopped by another cenote that was clear and beautiful and off the beaten path, and we stopped at a few beautiful locations along the less populated side of the island. The views were great and we stayed cool all day because we kept getting in the water! The jeep was comfortable and had a cooler of cold drinks, and we actually really enjoyed the tequila tasting (none of us particularly like tequila, so we were really surprised at how delicious it was). We were also able to linger at the areas that we loved and skip over some of the parts that we were less interested in. The whole day was pleasant and enjoyable.

A Must Do For A Day in Cozumel!! We went on the Tequila/Beach/Ruins/lunch excursion today and it was so much fun! Sergio was our guide and he was great! He was so friendly and knowledgeable about everything. He took us to some really wonderful, off the beaten track places. And our lunch was phenomenal! The whole day felt like a truly customized experience thanks to Sergio’s guidance. I truly cannot recommend this tour and Sergio enough! You will not be disappointed!!

Private Jeep tour We had the best private tour with Jorge! We were able to swim with locals, visit beautiful jade cenote just the 3 of us. We stopped at beautiful spots along the way for pictures and had an incredible chocolate/tequola tasting. Overall, we had so much fun. I highly recommend - great experience! Super safe for families and solo travelers.

Private Custom Tour This was my 2nd experience with Jeep Riders. This time it was my wife and I along with 9 other friends. We were picked up at our meet spot on time by Sergio, our guide (HE IS A ROCK STAR) The company secured a van that accommodated all 11 of us with a driver - Leo (ANOTHER ROCK STAR). We visited a tequila factory, Punta Sur, beach front lunch (included) and wrapped up with a cooking class at the operators home. almost 6hrs. To a person - was the best experience of the entire week (on a 7 day cruise). We were treated like royalty. In both my excursions with Jeep Riders - i felt like family. Fun, informative, and attentive to our wants and needs. I cant recommend this company enough. Another booking with them is a NO BRAINER on our next visit to Cozumel

Great drivers We had a snafu in the beginning, as the jeep could only hold 5 people, and we had 6. They wanted to split us and have one of us drive a vehicle ourselves. We spoke with the owner and he provided us with an extra driver. It turned out well. Ricardo and Sergio were wonderful. They took such good care of us and made our trip special. Thank you for making it right.

Nice way to see the island This was a fun way to see many parts of Cozumel! Our guide was very accommodating. It unfortunately was a windy overcast day so some of the beach stops weren't as enjoyable. Our meal was ok and we enjoyed our time at the beach club. I agree that many of the vendors were overpriced so just remember that when deciding if to buy things.
