We had an amazing time on our Cozumel food tour with Julio! He was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly knows all the best local hot spots. We got to try authentic food we never would’ve found on our own, and every stop was delicious. Julio also shared great insights about the culture and history along the way. This tour was a definite must-do on our vacation and one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommend!

An enjoyable couple of hours even though we were the only folks on the tour. Food was authentic and tasty guide Rollo was well informed about Mexican history’s

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Thanks so much Steve for joining us! It was a pleasure having you on the tour, and I'm glad you enjoyed the authentic local food and learning more about Mexico's history with Rolo along the way. One of the things we enjoy most is sharing the real Cozumel through its food, culture, and stories, even if it's just a small group—or in this case, a private experience! Thanks again for your kind words, and we hope to welcome you back for another local food experience in Cozumel next time you're on the island.

Julio is friendly and very knowledgeable of the history of Cozumel. He has a warm personality and took us to wonderful authentic eateries. I would recommend his tour to everyone. While I was waiting at the clock Tower he came from across the way and called my name like we were old friends. Exceptional experience.
