Private Cozumel tour: customize your day, pick your group size
You pick the stops; the guide handles the route and the timing
A private tour of Cozumel where you and your guide design the day together, choosing from the East side beaches, downtown, the Municipal Market, San Gervasio Mayan Ruins, the Mayan Bee Sanctuary, Chankanaab Beach Park or quieter spots off the main tourist track. The tour runs five hours in an air-conditioned van, minivan or jeep with a guide who speaks English, Spanish or Portuguese; bottled water is included, and you decide what matters most.

The Experience
You start by telling your guide what you want from the day — whether that's snorkeling on the East side, exploring the Mayan Ruins, wandering the Municipal Market, or finding the places locals actually go. The guide brings knowledge of the island and recommendations, but the itinerary is yours to shape. This is not a fixed route with set stops; it's five hours built around what you came to Cozumel to do.
You travel in your choice of vehicle: a van that holds up to twelve people, a minivan for up to six, or a jeep for four. All three are air-conditioned, and your guide drives while narrating the route and handling the logistics — timing, directions, where to stop, how long to linger. You get bottled water throughout the day. If you want a guide to walk you through San Gervasio Ruins, you can add that at checkout; entry fees to parks and beaches are separate.
The smaller the group, the more flexible the day becomes. A jeep with four people can pivot faster, take narrower roads and spend longer at one stop if something catches your interest. A van with twelve moves more slowly but spreads the cost, and the guide still tailors the route to what the group wants to see. Either way, you're not following a script — you're following your own curiosity with someone who knows the island.

Is this one for you?Choose the jeep if your group is small and you want to change direction on a whim; pick the minivan for a balance of flexibility and cost; go with the van if you're traveling with a larger family or group and want to share the expense. The guide works with whatever you choose, but the smaller the vehicle, the more the day bends to what you discover along the way.

Can I visit the Mayan Ruins and the beach on the same tour?
Yes. San Gervasio Mayan Ruins and Chankanaab Beach Park are both options you can include in your five-hour day. Your guide will help you fit them together with other stops based on travel time and what else you want to see.
What's the difference between the van, minivan and jeep?
The van holds up to twelve passengers and is best for larger groups or families; the minivan fits up to six and offers a middle ground; the jeep takes four and gives you the most flexibility to change direction or spend extra time at a single stop. All three are air-conditioned with a guide and driver.
Do I have to decide my itinerary before the tour starts?
No. You can plan it with your guide when you meet, or give them a rough idea of your interests and let them suggest a route. The tour is built around your preferences, not a fixed schedule.
What happens if I want to visit somewhere not on the main tourist list?
Your guide can take you to quieter, less touristy spots around the island. The five-hour window and your vehicle choice will determine how far you can go, but the tour is designed to get you off the beaten path if that's what you want.
Is lunch included in the tour?
Lunch is not included, but your guide can recommend places to eat and help you fit a meal stop into your itinerary. Bottled water is provided throughout the day.
