About This Tour

Visit a mix of downtown cantinas and scenic east-coast beach bars with your own private guide and transport — a welcome margarita, a guided tequila tasting, and shots are included, so you won't need to pay extra for drinks unless you want something more. This private, guided bar crawl covers the best of Cozumel's bar scene — a welcome margarita, a guided tequila tasting, and included shots, so you're not paying extra unless you choose to. Your guide stays with your group the entire time, with transport included throughout.

The welcome margarita that kicks off this crawl has a genuinely contested history — there's no single confirmed origin story, just several competing claims that have never been fully settled. One version credits bartender Carlos "Danny" Herrera, who's said to have mixed tequila, triple sec, and lime for a patron with a tequila allergy at his restaurant near Tijuana in 1938. Another traces it to a 1940s party at an Acapulco vacation home hosted by a socialite named Margarita Sames. A third points to Hussong's Cantina in Ensenada, where a bartender reportedly named the drink after a regular guest around 1941, and yet another credits a bartender in Ciudad Juárez in 1942. None of these stories is definitively proven — the margarita is one of Mexico's most iconic cocktails partly because its true inventor was never settled.

The route itself leans on a real geographic contrast unique to Cozumel. The island's developed west coast faces the calmer Cozumel Channel and is where the cruise pier, the hotels, and most of San Miguel's downtown cantinas sit, sheltered from open-ocean swells. The east coast, by contrast, faces the open Caribbean directly — it's windier, rougher, far less developed, and lined with the kind of scenic, low-key beach bars that simply don't exist on the busier west side. Mixing downtown stops with a run along that quieter coastline gives each half of the crawl a genuinely different feel, not just a change of scenery.

Tequila itself only carries that name when it's distilled from blue Weber agave inside a legally protected zone centered on the state of Jalisco — a zone that doesn't reach Quintana Roo. So the tequila poured for your tasting, like the margarita mix itself, was made on the Mexican mainland and brought over to the island; it's still the real thing, just not a local product, which is worth knowing before your guide pours the first round.
