Extremely nice excursion

We were very pleased with our tour! The Native Choice was able to accommodate our group of 12 with no problem and at a reasonably cost, the van had AC and was very comfortable and clean. Our driver Emelin, even carried a chair for my husband to sit during the tour since he has a back problem. Our guide Grissy was very pleasant and knowledgeable. They made sure we were safe, comfortable and that we returned back to the port on time. I will definitely use them again.

Perfect Day!

From beginning to end, it was a perfect day.
A short walk from the port to Native Choice building. People would direct us along the way how to get there.
Check-in was friendly and hassle-free. They offered water as soon as you arrive. Had about a 45 minute ride to the ruins, but the tour guide gave lots of information during the drive so it went fast. Ruins were beautiful and the guide was great! Offered us waters and umbrellas (due to the extreme sun). We were limited on time because of our cruise time so the tour guide planned accordingly to make sure we would have enough time to enjoy the Lagoon. Yes, the drive to the Lagoon is on a dirt road and bumpy. What do you expect, you are in Mexico!! The Lagoon is BEAUTIFUL! I've never seen so many shades of blue before!! Upon arrival we immediately were served our lunch of Chicken Fajitas and rice/beans which was wonderful. We then walked to the Lagoon area which was small, perfect size since there were only about 15 of us. There are lounge chairs and little huts (first come first serve). As we sat enjoying the sun, the guide would come and take our drink order :)
There are kayaks to take out. Make sure you bring water shoes, there are a lot of rocks in the water.
Overall a gorgeous day!! Thank you Native Choice!!

Totally unexpected and thrilling

We were unsure what to expect on this tour but were thrilled when Lorenzo our guide took us out and informed us of all that we saw in a way in which we could relate to and understand. It seemed that this was a better tour than that provided elsewhere as we were away longer and had the site pretty much to ourselves just a couple of spider monkeys for company. We stopped for fresh Pineapple on the way back which was a treat. Go with these guys and you will have a great time ! Thanks to Miguel's driving we felt very safe.

Great Day

With Rosa as our guide, and Habner as driver and water bottle supplier, our small group had an educational tour of the Chacchoben site. The sun was a bit hot, even for April, which helped us appreciate the air conditioning in the van.
We spent an ample amount of time exploring the ruins before making a short trip to visit a Mayan village where we made our own tortillas and then had a superb lunch with a tour of the garden.
One thing we really appreciated was the lack of additional sales push for upgrades or anything else. My wife and I would both reccomend this tour. You will not get this kind of attention on the large excursions.

fantastic tour and price

The onboard price was nearly 3 times booking through Native Choice. It was super easy to book and a confirmation email was sent with all the information including a simple map to the main office (very easy to walk to). All the staff was friendly and I'm sure were just as knowledgeable as our guide Patricio (Patrick). The ruins are amazing and worth the trip. I wish there were more stars to give!!

Marvelous Mayans

Native Choice is First Rate. Toured with Guide Patricio (Patric), and driver Hebner. Patricio's knowledge and his ability to share it is incredible. Besides showing and teaching us about the ruins he taught us about the ancient Mayan culture. He taught us about the Mayan calendars and showed us the Mayan number system in such a way that it was easy to understand. Patricio is an outstanding teacher.

Fantastic Tour!

This was a great way to see the area! We really enjoyed the tour to Chaccoben, the driver (Saul) and the Guide (Alondra and Rosa) were great and very knowledgable, answering lots of questions and providing a lot of detail about the areas we visited. The Seven Colors Lagoon was absolutely beautiful and the lunch was delicious! We will definitely come back for another tour with The Native Choice!
