Ron, Saul, and Hugo were the best!
Really friendly and helpful throughout. We enjoyed it very much and would recommend it highly. All were very knowledgeable and we learned a lot. Very excellent! We only wished that it could have lasted longer - at the very least we would want to do the Extreme version that included a meal. That would offer the best experience and is definitely worth the time and $.
We now know that Costa Maya is in the state of Quintana Roo, and that there are only 1500 people in the village of Mahahual (Ron that was for you :)
We will never forget you, nor the welcome that you gave us. The people here are amazing!

Great value
Enrique was our guide and Rito was our driver. Both
are so knowledgable and educated us well on the Ruins and local culture. It poured rain about 30 min into our trip, but luckily Rito carried umbrellas for everyone. They're both so professional and made us feel comfortable from the start. It was a bit of a hike to get to pick up site, but we were fortunate to get dropped off closer to cruise port on return. I have seen other ruins in Mexico but up close & personal these are well worth the trip

Ship Late
We didn’t get to go on our excursion because the ship docked late and the weather was bad! They where more than happy to refund our money, give us towels to dry off and even drop us back off at port! Anytime I’m back in Costa Maya I will 100% use Native Choice! Even though they weren’t making money off me they where still top notch in every way!

Mayan Experience

The Mayan Experience was Amazing!
Everything about our experience with The Native Choice Tours was excellent. We were provided water at the meeting location before boarding a clean and air conditioned van to Chacchoben. Our tour guide was Erick and he was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic about teaching us about the Chacchoben Maya ruins and village. You could tell Erick was passionate about his job and enjoyed sharing his experiences with others. After a tour of the Chacchoben ruins with got back on the vans and traveled to the village. We stopped at a home in the village and had the opportunity to make tortillas with the Mayan women before sitting down to a traditional Mayan meal. We also toured the garden and learned about all of the different crops the Mayans produce. After our meal we were transported back to Costa Maya and dropped off at the port entrance. We never felt rushed or were in fear of getting back to the cruise ship on time. Everything about this tour was well planned and executed to perfection.

Amazing Tour
One of the best tours my husband and I have ever been on. We were blessed to have an awesome driver (my apologies I've misplaced his name - but remember he's beautiful smile) and our amazing tour guide - David. Right from the moment we were checking in for the tour we were greeted by a number of employees with bright smiles. We were offered a bottle of water while they arranged the tour groups. Once our tour left David began to explain to us all of the history of Costa Maya. He's knowledge throughout the day was unbelievable!! There wasn't a topic or question that he was not able to fully answer and explain. He has such a love for his country and his heritage. Returning to our ship we felt that we truly embraced the true essence of Costa Mayo thanks to David. Later that evening on the ship we ran into other passengers that were on the same tour and we were still talking about David and he's amazing zest for life and unlimited knowledge. In this crazy world it seems we can all get so busy that we forget to take a moment and praise or acknowledge someone. We didn't want to miss this opportunity to let you know just how valuable both these amazing men are to your business!!!

Great time!
Diego and Miguel were very knowledgeable and welcoming. The early tour is the time to go. The drive allows you to see the culture. The lagoon was a small piece of paradise with a great lunch and drinks! Best bang for your buck for an excursion.
