Cozumel Shore Excursion: 5-Hour Sightseeing Tour with Private Driver

What an incredible day exploring Cozumel with Leo and Ben! Our group of 16 arrived by cruise ship for the day, and after researching private excursions, I contacted Tours Plaza to help create something special. Eduardo was extremely responsive and easy to coordinate with before our trip, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. The moment we met Leo and Ben at the port, their warmth, professionalism, and enthusiasm immediately stood out. We hopped into two comfortable vans and began an unforgettable journey around the island. Along the way, they shared fun stories, local history, and fascinating insights about Cozumel with a great sense of humor that kept everyone entertained. One of the highlights of the day was visiting beautiful Punta Sur, where we enjoyed breathtaking scenery, nature, and the peaceful atmosphere of the island’s protected national park. Later, we headed to the quieter side of Cozumel for a delicious lunch at El Pescador, a perfect spot to relax by the ocean and enjoy authentic island vibes away from the crowds. Throughout the day, Leo and Benjamin made everyone feel welcomed and taken care of. Their passion for the island truly made the experience feel personal and unique. We returned to the cruise port exactly on time, stress-free and full of amazing memories. Everyone in our group absolutely loved the tour and agreed it was far better — and much more affordable — than the cruise line excursions. I highly recommend Tours Plaza to anyone looking for a more authentic and enjoyable way to experience Cozumel. Thank you again for making our day so memorable!

Gerry was an excellent tour guide! We spent 7 hours exploring Cozumel. We did a chocolate tour, Mayan bee sanctuary tour, pueblo de maiz, downtown historic sites, coastal drives with stops at beaches, and even bird watching! Bonus: saw crocodiles. Had dinner at a local seafood restaurant, which was amazing: conch, lobster, grouper, shrimp, and octopus. It was a perfect day. Our tour guide was amazing!

Booked this tour trough Viator who arranged for this Cozumel Shore Excursion Company. They were the worst. Being seniors it was hard to get into the vehicle and my husband fell into the van and hurt his back but tried to continue with the tour but after 45 minutes we had to cancel the tour. Paid the driver a full gratuity and hope for some kind of a refund without success, $342.00 lost. The van was dirty the seats were patched with tape and the driver keep it ice cold. What a disappointment. Viator a TripAdvisor company refused a refund.

We took a 3 hour tour. We requested to see the Chocolate factory, the Mayan Bee Sanctuary and a local market. Our driver, Cantaro , we extremely friendly and helpful. He did a short "overview" tour around the city and then we did a "Tasting" at the chocolate place which ended up just being our group of 5 and was really enjoyable. We then went to the Mayan Bee place and had a tour there. My father keeps bees and he really enjoyed this. It was interesting and we all thought it was worthwhile. There is a small shop at the bee sanctuary where a stoneworker and his family sell their items. We ended up doing a little shopping there. Our last stop was the central square and the markets/stalls around it. We didn't end up getting anything there, but it was nice to walk around. We were there on Christmas Eve, so there were decorations around the area. The tour was exactly what we wanted it to be and we felt the price was fair and the service was great.

Our driver Gary was awesome! He was very kind, took extra care to make sure we saw and did exactly what we wanted to do! He stopped for many photo opportunities and even stopped for snacks! He was a great interpreter when we needed it!

There was no one to meet us. Another vendor called the Tour Operator to ask why we were left with no one to meet us. The problem was the employee had quit the job and the Tour Operator had made no provision for us. They did send another employee and we did complete the Tour. We enjoyed the Mayan Ruins.

Our driver was outstanding. Supremely knowledgeable and experienced, he crafted our day on the fly and our family had a wonderful time. Highly reccomended!

It’s soooooooo amazing! I had so much fun with my family! It’s cheap, the drinks are good!😊 10 out of 10 recommended! Make sure you take a dip at the beach! 🏖️ it’s so refreshing…

This was a private tour we had booked and had an enjoyable time. The tour operator showed us sights he chose plus made sure we had time for suggestions we had.

Gerry our driver was great and very attentive to my elderly parents. It was the exact trip we needed. Muchas Gracias!!
