Educational and fun

Terrific experience. Would not hesitate to recommend. A short walk from the main shopping area/cruise docking area. Everyone was helpful. The tour guide was easy to understand and had lots of fun stories. The ruins were very interesting and the entire day was enjoyable. If you can, stop along the way and pick up fresh pineapple. Our small bus stopped and it was a fun treat. Thank you Elliot and Enrique.

Absolutely perfect!

This was the highlight of our vacation! Our tour guide, Enrique, was absolutely amazing. He was beyond knowledgeable, just a wealth of information and insight into the past. He shared so much with us and answered all of our questions. He is simply brilliant. He pointed out various interesting things along the way, including a beautiful cemetery. On the way back, we were able to stop and get local pineapple from a fruit stand....the perfect snack after a long day. The driver (I can not remember his name) was professional and I felt safe the entire time. He also provided us with cold bottled water during the excursion. Oh, and I forgot to mention the ruins! The pyramids were magical and breathtaking. This was truly an amazing experience...thank you for an amazing day!!

Great trip and help

We were late and all trips were gone. The owner took us on a private tour in his own car for the same price. Great experience. He is really well informed about the area, the history etc. An unforgettable trip. Thanks.

Informative and enjoyable tour

Thank you so much to Grisel (guide) and Tacho (driver) for making our first-time experience in Costa Maya an enjoyable one. Grisel was friendly, knowledgeable and patient as we took our time viewing the ruins. She knew the history and we enjoyed listening to her share stories about the people in the area. The tour was a private one and we appreciated the ice-cold bottled water they provided on a hot day. She and Tacho were also very kind in stopping at a local fruit stand on the way back to port so we could experience some fresh mango and pineapple. Thank you so much for a memorable tour and I would highly recommend Native Choice tours to anyone visiting the area. Because of Grisel I am also considering returning one day for a more in-depth visit of the Yucatan Peninsula!

Great trip

We had the most amazing time on our tour. We booked this before we sailed and I had read the reviews almost all 5 stars. We had no trouble finding the tour office. We took the Chacchoben extreme tour and it was great for four older ladies. Angelica was our guide and imparted a lot of information on the Mayans as she is part Mayan. At the ruins Enrique was our tour guide, this man has so much knowledge and answered all our questions. The true highlight was going to Bacalar Lagoon it was was absolute paradise. I would definitely recommend this tour company.

Native Choice Tours is the Best

This was the second tour we took using Native Choice, and just like the first, it was excellent! Our tour guide and driver, Fabiola and Heri Berto, were both top-notch. We had reserved a tour of Dzibanche Ruins, but when we got to the Native Choice office, we were told that the road to that ruin was not in good shape and that it would cut our time too close to get back to the ship. We were given a choice of two other ruins, and we ended up going to Kohunlich ruins. They were absolutely beautiful and well worth the two-hour drive it took to get there. Can’t say enough good about Native Choice Tours. It’s easy to book directly with them and not pay the mark-up that the cruise ships add to do the same tours.
