Amazing

this was the most amazing tour and we had the best time. Our guide at the ruins grew up there and was so knowledgeable and Maria was our guide and she was over-the-top wonderful!
she was so patient
and knowledgeable
we loved cooking with the Mayan women. It was all one of the best experiences of our lives.
Our only complaint is it is kinda hard to find the tour company when you get off the ship. They should have more signs we missed our tour and we’re late, but they still accommodated us.

Choccoben Ruins Tour

We were beyond happy with our decision to us Native Choice Tours for our excersion to the Choccoben Ruins! To start, they were $30 cheaper per ticket, their office was a short walk from the port (well worth it) and the overall experience was wonderful. Our van driver, Edgar, and tour guide, Edder, were both excelent. Edder had so much knowledge to share with us, gave us insight on the plants and animals that are native to the area, and did a fantastic job walking us through the Choccoben ruins and Mayan history. We highly reccomend booking with them!

Authentic and relaxing day!

Super attentive tour guide - we learned about the region and then enjoyed a wonderful (private) experience at the Mayan home with a cooking lesson and lunch. We then enjoyed the lagoon with a nice breeze and drinks. Wonderful morning and afternoon! Kudos to Amari and team.

10/10 TOUR! Best of our trip!

This tour was absolutely fantastic! Our guide, Alondra and our driver were so knowledgeable and fun. We were wondering if the tour would even happen because it was pouring rain and they showed up with umbrellas for all of us and cold water bottles had It was a very nice and clean ACTUAL AIR CONDITIONED tour van! ???? Alondra had a headset microphone so everyone could hear her. Honestly, I was a little nervous about going to a private family home for a meal and it was the most amazing experience. I wasn’t worried about sanitary standards at all. It was so clean and we had such a neat and personalized experience. The meal was absolutely fantastic and authentic. I can’t say enough positive about this company and our experience with them. The Mayan ruins were so absolutely great and Alondra knew so much information about them and the Mayan culture. So absolutely fascinating and left me wanting to learn more..We want to do this tour again and bring all of our kids back for it.

Bucket List Checked

The Chacchoben Ruins were amazing and satisfied one of our bucket list items. Better yet, the location was very clean and well-run, and our tour guide and driver were terrific at their jobs. We got to the ruins and lagoon a little late because our ship did not disembark on time; however, we were still the first group (of 15) at the site. Yoshi is from Mayan descent and educated us about the temples we saw, as well as the Mayan culture. Victor, our driver ensured we got to the sites and returned in plenty of time to get back on our ship nearly two hours before departure. You should book this trip!!

Book it!

Book the excursion with Native Choice and you will be glad you did. I was traveling with my family. First trip on a cruise and out of the country. I felt safe the entire time. The guide was Lorenzo and he knows all the details and is outstanding at what he does! Miguel was our driver and I felt very safe the entire time. He never did any risky or crazy driving. They both were very personable and really wanted you to have a nice comfortable trip. I highly recommend using this tour group. They had us back at port exactly at 430 with plenty of time to shop if you wanted to.

Amazing Experience!!!!

For our anniversary my husband and I chose to go with Choice Native, knowing it was not connected with Royal Caribbean we took the opportunity hoping everything would go smooth. From the emails with direct directions (very clear) to getting to our pick up site and into the van was extremely easy. All was very smooth. We were told who would be our guide what vehicle and where we would be going. Amazing communication! Our guide was amazing, he was very informative. He gave a lot of information on the drive and even allowed us to stop willingly stopped at a fruit stand. Which we purchased amazing fruit! As we got to the ruins they informed us who would be our guide which was Joel. He was very knowledgeable and very informative. He gave instructions on allowing us to explore first, take pictures and then would give information on the ruins. He pointed out things that were not written down in the books. He was a local which helped make the experience even better. We loved being able to stand in the shade as he told stories and gave all the facts. We had the best experience at the ruins! They provided water and encouraged us to stay hydrated. We then switched vans which took us to the lagoon. This was amazing! Tacos, drinks, and the lagoon! It felt like coming home to family and friends. We felt welcome and it was amazing since there were only 12 of us all together. We were very well taken care of and had the most memorable experience. We are so glad we chose The Native Choice and would recommend them to everyone we run into. Thank you to everyone that made this amazing!

Outstanding Excursion

This was probably one of the best excursions we have ever experienced! Maggie, our Guide, and Edgar, our driver, were exceptional. It was instructive, interactive, and relaxing...but to be able to experience authentic Mayan culture was amazing! Filipe & Gladys were so wonderful & welcoming and the food was DELICIOUS!
