We went to Cozumel on the Jewel of the Seas out of Tampa. We travelled with a large group of friends and family and some of us had been to Cozumel several times before and were bored with the "downtown" routine. I found Hiring a Driver for the Day on Trip Advisor and contacted them by email.
Eduardo responded to my email within an hour and with a few emails back and forth and a small deposit, our Driver For A Day was set up.
When we got off of the ship and made our way to the Taxi area, our driver "Leo" was waiting with a sign with my name. When we got to the van, he asked if we wanted to go to the market and pick up some refreshments to put in his large cooler in the back of the van. You didn't need to ask us twice.
The "market" is a must see in itself. Picture a luxury big box store with groceries. Leo was our guide, as well as the pilot of the shopping cart as we selected our refreshing adult beverages for the day.
First stop, the Tequila factory tour in the old mission. I do not want to go into great detail so as not to ruin the experience but our group had a BLAST. The admission is free, the tour guide is hilarious, the tequila samples put us all in a party spirit.
The rest of the day was spent exploring the far side of the island and taking in the breath taking views and enjoying some of the tastiest Ceviche on the beach I have ever tasted.
We had Leo for the entire day and he got us back to the ship in plenty of time. We had no worries about drinking and having a good time and there was no time constraint. We stayed at each stop as long or as little as we wanted and we felt like we got VIP treatment at each location because Leo knew everyone.
If you are open for an "R" rated experience, make sure to check out the "special" menu at Coconuts. Who knows, someone in your group might add their "recipe" to the many tasty dishes you will find in this special menu.
You either investigate ahead of time and tell Leo where you want to go or let him guide you to a side of Cozumel we had never seen. One thing is for certain, no one in our group will ever go back to Cozumel and do it any other way. Hiring a driver for the day is a great value and the customer service from the booking to telling Leo "Goodbye" was Excellent.
Thanks to Eduardo and Leo for a great time in Cozumel.
