Costa Maya Excursions Testimonials

Just wanted to drop you a line and say how much my family enjoyed the tour given by Eliu(spelling might be wrong).

He did a wonderful job for us. We had a big group and never felt rushed.

His information about the site and Mayan culture was very informative and never boring.

Keep up the good work, and don't grow too big. It's the personal touch we enjoyed so much. I will definitely come back some day and do it again.

Dear Ivan and David,

Thank you so very much for a very professional and intimate tour of the Chacchoben Ruins. We visited Costa Maya on the MS Miracle in January, and were very impressed with the excellent tour that you provided for us.

We learned so very much about the Mayan culture, the Yucatan, and the ruins during our tour.
We really appreciated the nearly new passenger van that you used, and the speaker system that allowed those of us at the back to hear your wonderful narration as we drove.

There were six in our group (compared to 50-60 on other tours) which made it very easy for any of us to ask questions during the ride to the ruins.

We would highly recommend your tour to anyone who wants more than just a look at the ruins.

Sincerely,
Tom and Terri Reiman

Thank you so much Eliu for the best tour ever.

My family of 20 enjoyed your knowledge of the ruins and of the area, and we appreciated that you did not hurry us in any way so we could soak up the history of walking on that sacred ground.

I will recommend your tour to every one that will be heading your way.

David and Ivan, you are doing a wonderful work here, good luck in the future- but don't grow too big!

Ivan,

Thank you so much for a fantastic tour of the ruins and the villages enroute.

Your knowledge and Mayan background made the tour so much more interesting than any "Canned" tour from the cruise ship could ever have been.

Best Regards and Best Wishes to you and your tour service.

I wanted to thank David for your wonderful tour of the ruins.

This was the highlight of our cruise and port excursions.

We almost didn't book because we don't like to feel herded. We definintely did not on this trip.

Your knowledge of the Mayan culture and all of the nature surrounding the area was top notch.

It was so nice to feel welcome to ask any and all questions and have someone who could answer them all.

I will definitely be praising this tour and will be looking for additional tours you provide for up coming visits.

Your professionalism was outstanding and hospitatality warming.

Thank you again!

This tour was fantastic!
It was the best one we went on the whole week.

Eliu was our guide and he was great. He was very knowledgable of the Mayan culture and we learned so much from him.

It was so nice to be in a small group and not feel rushed.

And the fresh pineapple on the way back was delicious!

I truly hope you will keep doing the tours just as you are, and keep them at an affordable price.

Don't get too big or it will ruin your very special charm.

God bless and thank you for offering us a glimpse of your world.

Dear Ivan,

I wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our tour with Carolina.
We went on the Chacchoben Extreme Tour, and it was the experience of a lifetime.

Carolina was wonderful - she answered all our questions and
took awesome care of us. She made us feel like her family.

I would highly recommend your tours to anyone. We learned so much about the Mayan culture not only the culture of the past, but we now have much appreciation and admiration for the current Mayan culture as well.

Our lunch was amazing!

Thank you!

Ivan,
I wanted to tell you again, thank you so much for the very wonderful tour
you gave us last week. Your family should be so proud of you!

My son thought it was very informative, as he is studying Mayan and Aztec cultures in school.

I will pass the word that you are #1.

This was a remarkable tour. Thank you so much for taking us on this tour, definitely among the more memorable moments we had in the Caribbean.

We learned alot about Mexico, Costa Maya, and the Mayan culture, as well as the Chacchoben ruins.

I will definitely be recommending anyone visiting Costa Maya to book through you guys. I heard that people who booked the excursion through the cruise ship weren't thrilled with the ruins. There were even people from other tours who had to come up and ask Ivan questions about the significance of the place as they were not being told about the site.
