Reasons why our Costa Maya excursions are different
Our Costa Maya excursions outstand from the rest and these are a few reasons why:
- We are proudly natives and very passionate about preserving and transmitting our cultural heritage.
- While the others learn about our culture from books, we have simply learnt how to transmit our experiences in life. With each excursion we deliver the insight only natives can bring to a site!
- We organize small groups to deliver the best Costa Maya shore excursions and tours with the highest standards of personal service.
- We are the most reputable local tour operator providing Costa Maya excursions and tours for cruise ship passengers.
- We are not a group of improvised people selling excursions in Costa Maya on behalf of someone else. With us you know who you are dealing with all the time. We sell our own tours, we check-in our clients, we drive our vehicles and we guide our groups.
“No standard shore excursion package from a cruise line will provide the kind of one-on-one interaction that is possible in the small groups that you arrange...”
This is just a sample of what some of our past clients say about our Costa Maya excursions.
Dear Ivan and David,
I am writing to thank you for escorting us on the tour of the Chacchoben Ruins last week. It was truly the highlight of our vacation.
Your knowledge of the ruin site and ancient Mayan culture was impressive, but what I will probably remember most is your personal stories. Your eloquent description of how each of you grew up, and how you were shaped by your families and Mayan culture was fascinating.
No standard shore excursion package from a cruise line will provide the kind of one-on-one interaction that is possible in the small groups that you arrange. I have already shared many of my friends how you described the impact of electricity (and satellite television) on expectations and aspirations for youths growing up in Mayan villages.
I wish you the best of luck in continuing to grow (but, please, not too big!) your tour business. I hope to be able to visit the area again and would look forward to introducing my family and friends to your services.
