Best Excursion on this Cruise
This was the one tour I really wanted to take on this cruise. When Holland canceled the cruise I was disappointed, however, so happy when I found it was available through Native Choice.
Their office is a short walk from the cruise port and their directions were spot on. Lots of folks on site to greet everyone, get signed in and loaded on the busses with bottles of water. Erick, Enrique and Mario were our tour guides and bus driver. Erick was amazing. He gave us lots of background information on the location, flora and fauna of the area. Once we got to Chacchoben the group was split in two which made it a lot more enjoyable for everyone. With just 20 people in the group we could move around easily, hear everything Erick had to share and thoroughly enjoy the site. The site is very well maintained, trails are easy to follow and no bugs! Erick was a wealth of information. He is of Mayan decent and his family was involved in the archeological dig of this site - he even has a picture of himself, as a child, on the site. He studied archeology and was able to provide great info on the placement of the buildings in relation to the sun/moon, solstice and equinox. He explained the Mayan calendar and the numbering system. It really was great. Plus, we saw spider monkeys!
I definitely recommend this excursion and ask for Erick!

Outstanding Tour
What a fantastic experience. Lorenzo, our guide was so knowledgeable, he made it a true learning experience, answering our friend's questions left and right. the tour was grand, it was as if we were the only ones there, I do not understand why others are not using Native Choice. Our driver, very good. Everything was clean and enjoyed the box lunch too. Muchas Gracias a todos!

Great Tour
Our tour was so very interesting! We never expected to walk away with so many facts about the area and the ruins. Our bus ride was about 50 minutes and Erick, our tour guide, gave us so much information in that time. The tour itself was not rushed and very easy to navigate. We also got to see monkeys in the trees while walking around! Bonus! Erick answered so many questions from the group and told many wonderful stories about the people from that culture. Thanks Erick, for making our tour so special!

Fantastic Tour/Awesome Tour Guide
This was a great tour all around. Our driver, Stachio, was excellent and we couldn't have had a better tour guide than Rose. She simple was incredible and answered every question we had. She even let us stop at Pineapple Town and introduced us to pineapple with chili pepper. Who knew it was so good? Thanks for a great experience!

Top Notch!
I am so thankful we booked through Native Choice! Once you get into the port you have navigate your way out of the tourist compound; but it was so easy to find the Native Choice office with the directions on our confirmation. Several locals asked us along the way if we needed help or confirmed we were going in the right direction. We were greeted and checked in quickly. The bus was clean, cool and comfortable try to sit on the side opposite the driver as there are many things to see along the way on that side. We visited the ruins, it was not crowded and was beautiful and rich in culture and history. Our guide Patrick was so friendly and knowledgeable and just full of interesting facts and descriptions. It was just a really relaxing and perfect tour. Highly recommended. Muchas gracias!

Great Mayan Experience Tour
We were very impressed with both the Chacchoben Ruins and our lunch. Our guide was very friendly and informative. The lunch experience was terrific - we chuckle when we talk about our tortilla-making, we rave over the food, and we enjoyed touring their home. The ruins were good examples,offered the opportunity for a little climbing, and were much closer to the pier than other tours reported by ship-mates. Overall an excellent outing.
