This was the biggest lie and scam that has ever happened to me. They lied straight to our face from the first line they spoke to us until the very end. Promised a snorkel tour, trip to the mayan ruins, and a nice "beach club" lunch. We received a glorified taxi ride; stuffed 6 people in a singular jeep and drove in the car for 5 hours with stops at tourist traps and staged "activities." The tequila factory they took us to was FAKE... they just import tequila to sell. The plants were dead, the displays were made out of plastic (creepy)...The "beach club" was DISGUSTING and filled with thieves trying to steal your things right in front of you and continue to lurk after you catch them! The food was made out of RUBBER. The water was muddy and smelly, unlike the other beaches on the island, and there were sharp rocks everywhere making it DANGEROUS to swim. Here's the kicker!! We wanted to go home early because we were shocked, and our tour guide made us TAXI home, claiming the jeep didn't HAVE GAS TO GO BACK. Every part of this day was horrible. I don't even know what we payed for... we saw nothing and were continuously lied to. PLEASE DO NOT FALL FOR THIS TRAP.

First and foremost I would like to say that Arturo is the man. He knew so much about Cozumel, from the history and culture to the local hotspots and hidden gems. He catered our tour toward our wants (we decided to opt out of the tequila tasting and went cliff diving instead) and was extremely personable. Our tour started on time at our resort, we were able to see so much of Cozumel and ended up with some amazing photo opportunities. We also ended up driving through the downtown Cozumel area, and were shown some cool places to eat/shop. The tour ended at Tortugas and the snorkeling was decent, but honestly the highlight of the tour was Arturo and his excellent hospitality. I would recommend taking this tour early in your stay in case you decide to explore more of the island on your own.
