- Mi Mexico Lindo Tequila Tour - A Cozumel trip would not be complete without tequila – that liquor from the agave, sacred to the Aztecs, has a rich history in Mexico. The blue agave’s tequila is still sacred to Mexicans and tourists alike – and should not be missed. In an open-air building sit rows and rows of tequila bottles. The tour is interesting and you will love the tastings, and children Will have honey-based drinks from melipona bees which is an endemic species of Yucatan that has no stinger.
- San Gervasio Mayan Archaeological Site - As of today, these Mayan ruins are the #1 archaeological site in Cozumel. As of today San Gervasio is the most important mayan site in the island. San Gervasio was a sacred mayan site dedicated to the goddess Ixchel (goddess of fertility) plus a estrategic site for commerce and politics in the area. You can become part of the mayan culture and its mysteries.
- El Mirador - See the east side of the island and take photos of the beautiful nature.
- Playa Palancar Cozumel Beach Club - Nice beach away from the big crowds, This is a nice beach with a good bar and snacks to help make your day near the ocean fun and enjoyable! The dive/snorkel shop and your driver can arrange snorkeling from shore or by boat. Chill out on the loungers with a cool Margarita and some ceviche and enjoy the beautiful turquoise water!

The Absolute Best Way to See Cozumel! - 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!

Cozumel Fun - 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!

A lovely tour at Cozumel - 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.

Cozumel city tour - 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!

Worst Vacation Experience in Cozumel - 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.

No one was there to meet us! Another vendor had to call the provider to send a car for our tour. Polly Goins - 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.
