“Gerry was an amazing guy! He was known by everyone! Took us to the chocolate and tequila tours and to the San Gervasio ruins which we really enjoyed! Asked to grab yummy tacos at a place he would take his family and they were delicious. He joined us for lunch which was extra nice! He then drove us around looking at the different beach areas. Stopped for a drink and got the best mojitos sleeve ever had! It was a great tour to get an idea of what Cozumel has to offer and what we’d like to do on our next trip. Thanks Gerry for a great day with you.”
