★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 15 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $46Best value

Meet at 10:30 a.m. for a three-hour English-language walk through downtown Cozumel. You’ll see waterfront monuments, visit the Island Museum, sample tequila, and finish with lunch. Guides Gerry and Eric have led the tour, though your guide may vary. The group is limited to 12, and museum admission is listed as an extra cost.

“We got a lot of history of the Mayans and Cozumel before the tourism boom. We went on a tequila tasting tour the tequila was fantastic. It's the smoothest tequila you will ever have. We ended the tour with lunch at a local restaurant in a residential area, away from the touristy main strip. The tour is at a leisurely pace and went over the allotted 2 hours.”
