Cozumel Best Tours, Your best option :-)

If you visit Cozumel on a cruise ship and you are interested in taking an excursion in Cozumel, you have 2 options to make activity reservations

1. Booking through the cruise ship
2. Booking independently

Why it’s a good idea to book independently

By booking independently of the cruise, you’ll be able to save a substantial amount of money. So why do so many people choose to book their Cozumel excursions through cruise lines?

As permanent residents of Cozumel with over a decade in the local tour business, we have met several people who look at our prices while in port and realize they paid hundreds of dollars more than necessary. Invariably, these cruise passengers express the reasons why they booked their Cozumel excursions on the cruise, and what follows is a brief description.

"I should have booked my Cozumel tours with you!" - Something we hear every day "I was told that if I book my Cozumel tours independently, I could miss my boat departure." This is the most common reason why people book their Cozumel tour on the cruise ship and is certainly a legitimate concern. At Cozumel Best Tours, you will never miss your ship, for a simple reason that is the same as what the companies that work with cruises do..

1. The excursions will always leave as early as your cruise arrives usually after 1 hour to an hour and a half
2. The excursions will always finish at least 2 hours before the cruise ship leaves Cozumel

The threat of missing your cruise is manufactured to get you to spend your money on the ship. If you think about it, how long would Cozumel tour providers stay in business if their clients regularly missed their boat departures? The answer is obvious.

Secrets to save money on your visit to Cozumel

For a while now, we have had a lot of questions from our new clients and long-time clients, who are quite surprised by the large amount of money they have had and have to spend on excursions in Cozumel. For many, those costs are becoming prohibitively expensive. But too often those customers say they feel obligated to pay the high prices, because they don't want their families to feel like their fun was sacrificed just to spend money.

What makes excursions so expensive? It's easy to analyze where you are buying. If you are buying at the cruise excursion office, it’s very likely that you are paying a very high price for those excursions and let me tell you why.

Intermediaries

Because you are you paying an intermediary, buying your excursions with the cruise ship office you are paying an increase of approximately 30% or 40% of the price of the excursion.

So now you have a big entity that wants and needs to be paid for their services, which is reflected in the price they pay for their "convenient tour selection process." Therefore, your ability to realize big savings comes when you go directly to the service provider, eliminating that big middleman from the process.

Independent providers

You have to put your feet on the ground and face reality, it is true there are certain advantages of buying excursions through large agencies compared to an independent operator, in addition to the issue of money, there are several things that I think it is possible that you may want to consider to determine what is best for you, as everyone is different, this way you can choose for yourself, which in my opinion is always the best approach to any decision.

Let me tell you this in the simplest way I can. There is one important word, when it comes to describing the difference between booking your tour through these companies compared to booking your tour with an independent or direct manner. That word is MONEY. I can't tell you the number of times I've seen these independent operators (which can often turn out to be the exact same provider) that agencies use, offering identical tours for half the agency price or even greater savings.

They try harder

The operators that you can contact directly on the internet are much more motivated to give you the best possible experience and for the most part is much more grateful to get your reservation, understanding that they are offering a service in a very competitive and open market that It's INTERNET, which means they must try harder to provide the most enjoyable experience possible
