A great time
We had a really good time on our "extreme" tour. We got to see the ancient Mayan ruins in the jungle, which was quite impressive. We loved our time at the Seven Color Lagoon. The water was spectacular and warm. The service from Native Choice was exactly as advertised. They were very friendly, especially our Tour Guide Meriam. She was wonderful. The bus driver even dropped us off right at the cruise port on the way home. Thanks for a great day!

Delightful and Super Fun Time While Experiencing Local Maya Culture
One of the most important things to me when I travel is to experience local culture with the locals. David did an outstanding job showing me the local area and sharing with me lots of interesting information about Maya culture and Costa Maya.
My visit with the Mayan family (Victoria and Sophia) was just absolutely delightful. I had so much fun learning about Mayan cooking and lots of laughs just hanging out with them. The traditional meal that they made for me was “oh so yummy”. As I stroll through the family’s impressive garden, David shared with me his deep knowledge of the local plants.
My swim in the alluring Seven Color Lagoon was so peaceful and relaxing. What an impressive place! David made sure that he was available and provided to me anything that I needed during my visit.
I will be sharing a more detail experience of this charming adventure on my YouTube channel “Where Thu Next”.

Amazing Excursion
We visited the Mayan ruins with this excursion. Our tour guide Edder is very knowledgeable and explained very well about how the Mayans lived and built their temples. Edder & the driver Edelle were very thoughtful, we were provided with bugs spray, water bottle & umbrellas while visiting the site. We had an amazing experience with them touring the Chacchoben Mayan Ruins!

Excellent experience
My husband and I were extremely pleased with our excursion! It’s great to support a local company and Erick was an extremely knowledgeable guide! Edgar was a great driver and made sure we got to our destinations safely and provided bottled water throughout the tour. We saw monkeys at the Mayan ruins and learned so much history as well. At the lagoon we had a delicious lunch and had plenty of time to kayak, swim, and paddle board. Would recommend to anyone looking for an adventure!

We made the right choice!
Our family was visiting Costa Maya on a cruise and really wanted to tour Dzibanche. Since it is such a long drive, we were concerned about missing the ship but the staff at Native Choice made us feel completely comfortable.
As promised, we left right on time and had a wonderful tour. We spent about two hours climbing the temples, which was an amazing—but exhausting—experience! To his credit, our guide Joel climbed each and every one with us so he could point out key details and explain what we were seeing. Best of all, we had the entire place all to ourselves!
In the end, we made it back with a good hour to spare and our driver even dropped us off right at the port. Thank you Native Choice—we had a terrific time!

Wonderful excursion
The tour itself was great. Our guide Eddar and our driver Miguel were awesome. Eddar gave us much information and let us explore after his explanations around the ruins. This was a small ruins area but we enjoyed his history of the Mayan culture and how they built the area. It was very warm that day but they gave us water and the vehicle had amazing A/C. They dropped us off as close to the entrance to Costa Maya as they were permitted to.
Give yourself plenty of time to get out of the cruise port as it took us 30 minutes from ship to gate. By then there was still a walk to the Native Choice office so we took a taxi. Several people who missed the van joined our tour in Chacchoben but they missed the first part of the tour. Be sure to leave in enough time to get to the office on time.
You will enjoy this excursion. Thanks Eggar.

Amazing Tour
David, did an amazing job taking our entire group through the ruins and also through the village. It was definitely a one of a kind experience that everyone enjoyed. The food that was prepared in the village was amazing. We had another group that took the cruise's tour and it sounded boring compared to ours!

Great tour!
Our tour was excellent! We learned so much. We have been to Mayan ruins before, but our guide, Edair was so knowledgeable, we learned a lot of new things. You could tell he really likes his job. Our driver was very helpful and was very safe in how he drove. His name is Ebell. I hope they are spelled correctly. They both made our trip fun and enjoyable. One of the best excursions we’ve had.
