My 3 Sisters and I recently hired a driver for the day. I can't say enough good things about our driver Gerry. He took GREAT care of us, translated for us(if needed), took us anywhere we wanted to go on the island! We felt very comfortable & safe with him! We saw amazing views & had an awesome time! I...

We booked via their web site and Eduardo was prompt and professional in setting up all the arrangements for our party of 6. We were given a van with Alberto as our driver. Alberto gave us the history of the island as well as answered any questions we had about the sites we went to. If you have never been... More

I wanted a customized tour of Cozumel where I wasn't rushed and got to see places I was interested in. I booked on-line with Eduardo and he responded within hours instructing me on the procedure to complete a booking and asking what I was interested in seeing. When I finished booking, he promptly sent a confirmation of date,time, and place... More

I booked with Eduardo probably 5, maybe 6 months before our trip to Cozumel. He told me Gerry would be our driver and he would be wearing a "gerry" name tag. Come to find out we did not have Gerry as we were told. Another driver named Leonardo showed up at our hotel. He said Gerry was doing another tour.... More

We stopped in Cozumel as part of our Cruise on 5/11/12. I heard all of the good reviews online about Eduardo's so I went for it. Our driver was Gerry. He met us right on time at the peir and we were off to our first destination, the Kaokao Chocolate Factory. Gerry was great! He was full of information about... More

Our family of 7 (5 adults, 2 toddlers) were on Disney Cruise during school vacation week in April. I read lots of review here and decided to hire a driver. I was confuse between island time and Ship time that I was more than an hour late for our tour. However, Gerry was still there waiting for us. Thank you... More

We hired a driver (you can negotiate a fixed price) and spent most of the day on the east and south sides of the island. There is a rugged beauty to the east coast (the windy side) and well worth the visit. Having visited Cozumel over 20 times, we sometimes like to just go to the more desolate parts of... More

If you are looking for an effective way to explore cozumel without all the touristy hassle this is it. Our group was 6 adults some that didn't want to walk/be in the heat as much. He made sure everyone was comfortable. He took us to all the locales we wanted to see and then made suggestions of his own. The... More

Our cruise ship stopped in Cozumel and we wanted to tour the island, so we opted to hire a driver instead of renting a car. We had no problem at all reserving a car and driver and were told to meet Leo at the end of the taxi stand. We found him straight away and before leaving the area he... More
