Leon Tours is a small family-run travel agency headquartered on the tropical island of Cozumel. We offer private tours and excursions in small goups on Cozumel and to the most beautiful attractions of the Riviera Maya. Specializing in the Yucatan peninsula, its famous underwater world and its highly interesting cultural sites, we have put together a selected program for our guests in one of the safest regions of Mexico.

Long expertise in tourism

The owners Birgit and Gerson have been working in tourism for many years. Both are part of the Mexican tour guide syndicate SINALTUR and are often booked by cruise ships for cultural tours on Cozumel and the Riviera Maya. In 2016, they came up with the idea of offering private excursions and small groups tours. This is how Leon Tours, based in Cozumel, was born.

Birgit is originally from Munich in Germany and came to Cozumel as a diving instructor. There she met Gerson, together they have a son. Gerson has a great knowledge of Mexican history and Mayan culture, and gives tours in English, Spanish and German.
