We had a great day exploring the east side of the island. Fernando was such a nice and knowledgeable guide. His love for Cozumel comes through in all his informative conversations. He let us determine how we wanted to spend our time. We saw beautiful natural beaches, had authentic Mexican food and spent some time snorkeling at chankanaab. It was a great day. We will definitely do this again and see some different sights.
Excellent excursion! John is a very friendly guide, with little care and who knows the island as his pocket. We highly recommend.
Amazing experience with Sergio! He tailored the tour perfectly to what we wanted to see and shared great recommendations for local spots. Super friendly and welcoming guide — 100% recommended!
I will start with the good: Fernando was an amazing guide. He is a fourth generation local that really knows the island. He was very engaging and really desired to get to know us and our extended family. He was very knowledgeable about the caves and the Myan history and also took us to a nice beach, Tequilla tour, and back for a nice lunch along the ocean. I was looking for a pair of boots and stopped at several locations and even offered to negotiate on my behalf had we found the pair I was seeking. Now for the bad, this tour company rents the Jeeps that they use for the tour and the one they rented was in very bad condition with all the dash lights on, rubbing on turns, cracked and worn-out seats, with a 8x10 rental license taped to the front windshield right where the passenger was to look out. I had to spend the entire time leaning over to the center to see anything. BUT THAT WAS NOT THE WORST...the entire inside of the jeep was covered with mold (the fuzzy type). Serious concern for our health. Fernando tried to get it changes out while we were on the Tequilla tour but was told by the owner there wasn't enough time to make that happen. I did let the owner know how disappointed we were and did not receive a response. I purposely waited until we returned to write this review hoping that he would contact us. This is total unacceptable.
Fernando was the perfect guide for my fiancée and I on our private jeep tour in Cozumel! He took us to a tequila distillery, several beautiful beaches on the east side, and a beach club where lunch and fajitas were included. He was professional and safe, but also knew how to have a fun time! He made the entire day fun and effortless. His local knowledge and love for Cozumel’s culture really shined through — we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Despite being to the island multiple times, he taught us numerous things! Can’t wait to come back and visit our new friend, Fernando! 🌊☀️🏝️
I did the private tour with my daughter, and we felt absolutely safe all the time. Sergio is a great driver, knows beautiful places off the beaten track and has told exciting stories. Everything was perfectly organized and very personal – highly recommended!
Tanya was an excellent hostess and driver. Made us feel special. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to the other side of the island.
We had the BEST day with Sergio from Jeepriders Cozumel! He met us right at the cruise port and knew the plans we had included with our reservation (visit Mayan Ruins plus Mayan Cocoa) and said we’d have time for that and more! Sergio listened to us and made suggestions based off that. What a great day! A little tequila tasting to start (NO high pressure sales), visiting your the ruins, beautiful drive around the island, swimming at a locals beach (we all thought this simple beach was breathtaking), fresh coconut to snack on, surprise visit to a secret “blowhole” (so cool!!!) and finished up at our pre-booked chocolate experience. We were back to the ship in plenty of time and are already talking about next time we are in Cozumel where Sergio can take us! If you are reading reviews wondering if this is right for your family…book it. We did the SAME two sites a few years ago through the cruise ship. It was crowded and slow. 30 minute bathroom breaks, waiting for people to shop etc. Not enough time actually experiencing the beautiful island. That’s why we wanted a redo to get it right and enjoy the day. Jeepriders Cozumel will take care of you! It might be a little more than the excursions through your ship, I assure you it’s worth it! Your family will be safe, taken care of and have a customized Cozumel day!
This is the second time I’ve used this company. They have provided great service and the guides are quite knowledgeable about the island. For the price you can’t beat the company. We had Labdy this time and Fernando in December. Lunch and beverages were provided in the price. Kevin, the head guy, customized our experience for what we wanted
I have traveled to Cozumel dozens of times, however, this was my first experience with Jeep Riders of Cozumel. Our private guide, Maria definitely impressed us with her fun personality and knowledge of the island. Maria took us to parts of Cozumel that I’ve never seen. The cenotes, tequila tasting, scenic sandy beaches, lunch at an oceanfront table and so much more! The complete process from making the reservation to promptly picking us up to returning us to our drop off spot was handled professionally! We highly recommend reserving a Jeep Riders adventure!
