JustCruiseMe Posted November 2, 2013 #1 Share Posted November 2, 2013 But we'd love a restaurant hop and a museum or a tour guide to take us around. Any suggestions? I'm at a loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggest to google "cozumel hiring a driver for the day" and will find many options to do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDNJehn Posted November 4, 2013 #3 Share Posted November 4, 2013 We considered the custom jeep tour through cozumelcruisexcursions.net to hit some out of the way places. They were quick to respond and the price was reasonable for the day. It included lunch and soda/water/snacks (and beer). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runner15km Posted November 4, 2013 #4 Share Posted November 4, 2013 You can hire a driver right on the pier, there will be plenty of hawkers offering tours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCP Posted November 6, 2013 #7 Share Posted November 6, 2013 The further you walk outside the port, the cheaper they are. We hired a driver for the day for 1/4th the price they were asking right outside the port just by walking a block or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamrockmama Posted November 8, 2013 #8 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Hubby & I made a reservation with toursplaza and got alberto as our driver.. we feel safe knowing we"ll get a tour of the island with a good driver who has raving reviews here and on tripadvisor.. I honestly don't see myself taking a risk with some random driver off the street who i'm not sure is fluent in english or take us to places we don't want.. Wouldn't like to ruin my only day in Cozumel...just saying :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbaqua Posted November 11, 2013 #9 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Carnival is offering a foodie walking tour of the island which I'll be trying out in a couple weeks. It sounds fascinating and gets good reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDNJehn Posted November 12, 2013 #10 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Google Amazing Secret River; it's in Playa del Carmen That looked like a GREAT excursion. When we went to book it though, it wasn't there. Carnival said that they were likely just negotiating with the vendor. We booked the bar hop, and then of course the secret river excursion came back. Next time we'll chose that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maldenmusic Posted November 12, 2013 #12 Share Posted November 12, 2013 We used Hiring a Driver for the Day and had a wonderful time. A little pricey but worth the extra attention and our driver showed us all the off the beaten path places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbaqua Posted December 3, 2013 #14 Share Posted December 3, 2013 (edited) The foodie walking tour was wonderful. Isis was our guide, she's very knowledgeable. There's not too much walking, you take a bus for part of the tour. You do walk through some of the non-tourist parts of Cozumel but I never felt unsafe. We had a TON Of food at variety of places, there was a cantina/restaurant, a bakery, a corner store, an italian restaurant and several others. Way more food than expected. The whole experience was very, very nice. We also stopped at an art gallery and my dh & I bought two paintings at reasonable prices.

Peripateo Posted December 5, 2013 #15 Share Posted December 5, 2013 I second the food tour with Emily from cozumelchef.com. We did it last year and loved it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-leg5 Posted December 5, 2013 #16 Share Posted December 5, 2013 (edited) But we'd love a restaurant hop and a museum or a tour guide to take us around. Any suggestions? I'm at a loss. If you are interested in getting out and about I would also recommend hiring a private driver for the day. There is a long running thread on here "hiring a driver for the day" which will give you lots of suggestions if you read the last few pages for up to date reviews. There is a small museum in town which you can visit. We have enjoyed taking a photo tour with Tati Biermas, chocolate factory tour and spent a very interesting few hours with Josefina, cooking several authentic dishes in her kitchen for non-beach experiences. Further details of all these can be found on Tripadvisor. Edited December 5, 2013 by c-leg5 Spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
