The Mayan ruins on the Cozumel island dating back until 300 A. D. It’s worth the 20 minutes drive from the international pier for the cruise ships. We’ve booked the bus tour already on our cruise s… Full review by GolfUMK

Amazing experience. Make sure you get a guide. We had a wonderful guide named Pedro who was so knowledgeable and taught us so much. Was well worth a visit and something we will think about often. 10/… Full review by Jodie B

This site is an old pilgrimage/worship ground. There are no pyramids, just the bases of some! It is still very interesting(especially with a guide)

Take bug spray! We were over ran with mesquito when we visited. We also went through a tour company and our entrance fee was included in the tour cost, but if you choose to have a personal tour guide, you will have to pay extra - I was thinking it was $20 - but after the tour we realized , we could have taken the pamphlet and went on our own and learned as much. Plus there will be people offering to spray you with bug spray for $1 when you arrive as well -- don't fall for this --- I found my hand sanitizer worked well on keeping the mesquitos away better than the bug spray the others used.

We did this as part of a cruise line excursion - it's about an hour-long ride to the site, which they broke up with a stop at a beach with some interesting rock formations. I don't remember exact cost, but I felt safer than trying to catch a taxi and we got some good information about the history of the area on the way as well as a guided tour at the site.
