An absolutely wonderful tour!

David and Ivan, Thank you so much for an absolutely wonderful tour!

We have been on several cruises and taken many excursions and found yours to be by far the best we have been on and highly recommend it to others. The next time we go to Costa Maya we will book the Mayan Experience thorugh Native Choice.

Thank you once again.

Fabulous

We took the Chacchoben ruins tour with Eliu and it was fabulous.

The whole tour was well organized and he is very friendly and knowledgeable. He also has the patience of a saint. There was one child on our tour that kept asking him question after question and he was very patient and answered them all.

I would highly recommend this tour. It was fun and very informative. It's great to take a tour with someone who really is familiar with the place you are touring and can provide so much in depth information.

Thanks again for a great time!

AWESOME experience

I just wanted to thank you for the AWESOME experience we had with you this past month. Esmeralda was our guide for the ruins and she was terrific! We couldn't believe there were only 6 of us on the tour- so personalized!

Our guide's for the Blue Lagoon, Eliu, and the driver, Tacho, were also just fabulous. They took very good care of us.

We can't imagine why anyone would not book the extreme version because the Lagoon was not to be missed and we had it all to ourselves. It was great! And the fajitas--- Fritz, we are still thinking about them!! We wouldn't have changed a thing.

Thanks so much for your excellent and personal service.

One of the best tours we've taken.

One of the best tours we've taken. Eliu was execellent. We were encouraged by a former client having taken the tour over a year ago to go. She and her husband gave us the web link and couldn't say enough about your tour. She was right, it was educational and lots of fun.

Greetings from Battle Creek, David.

Truly remarkable

I booked this tour after extensive research with different sources and am I glad that I chose David and Ivan's.

Ivan was our guide at the Ruins and he was truly remarkable with his knowledge and passion in his work. Especially after he showed us the place where he lived as a small boy before the excavation of the ruins began I could understand the connection he has with the area.

We were in a small group (10), unlike the other groups we encountered that were the industrial tour sized that arrived in the big buses.

David met us at the Native Choice Booth at the port and we traveled in a van for the 45 min drive to the Ruins. David talked almost the entire time telling us of the history of the area. We met up with Ivan at the ruins and joined his small group and for the tour.

If you want the best of the best then book your tour with David and Ivan's. I have told our incredible experience to many people and I would not hesitate to book with them again.

A truly remarkable experience. thanks again

One of the best tours I have ever taken

We really enjoyed the tour! Eliu was our guide and he is a natural in this business.

He presented the history of the local area and the ruins in detail and in a manner that was easy for everyone to understand. He answered all of our questions with detailed explanations. He helped us "think Mayan" during the entire experience. He pointed out trees and plants that the Mayans used and the meaning and use for all of them.

In all, it was one of the best tours I have ever taken.

What a great experience!!

What a great experience!!

Ivan is so knowledgable about the Mayan culture and the ruins having been born at the site. We thoroughly enjoyed this great experience and would love to come back again.

We'd recommend Ivan and David to anyone wanting to experience the Mayan culture. Ivan's passion and love for the culture was very evident.

Thanks for a great experience! We hope to see you again.

Dave, Glenda, and family.
