Excellent Excursion

I couldn't be more pleased with our excursion we booked through Native Choice. Our guide was Edder and our driver was Abel. Edder was so personable and very informative. The tour was small and very educational. We learned a lot about the culture there as well as the ruins. They were so accommodating. We had our 2yo with us. They were offering us cold bottles of water and then at the end of the tour the provided iced washed clothes for us to cool down with. I would definitely use them again if ever in Costa Maya. It is definitely worth the money and you will not be disappointed. We did see other tour groups at the ruins and they were so large and unorganized. Our group was small so it was easy to keep up with everyone and here what Edder was saying. So glad we chose Native Choice and hop you do to!

Awesome!!

I've been on other Mayan tours and they were nothing compared to this. Our tour guide Joel gave a most interactive tour of the ruins. His knowledge of the history of the Mayan ruins and the people was outstanding. Every question our group asked was answered with enthusiasm by Joel. You could tell that he really loved his job and interacting with group he was giving the tour to. The lunch served at the families house was incredible. I have been on a lot of tours both ship sponsored and otherwise and the tour your small company provided my family and me rates at number one. I will gladly recommend your company to family and friends should they get down that way.

Best excursion ever!

Kasi was our excursion guide and we could not have found a better one!! From beginning to end we learned about the Mayan history and culture. The ruins were incredible!! Our driver Alejandro kept us on track and well hydrated. After the ruins we had an authentic lunch with fresh corn tortillas dropped off at our private restaurant. And to top it off we ended at a private beach lagoon with kayaks and rum drinks! This was the best excursion ever!!!

Comfortable van, thoughtful and informative guide (Thanks, Edder!), fascinating commentary and tour at Chacchoben, lovely resort setting for excellent lunch and drinks, fun swimming and lounging on the beach, small groups, personal attention, a well-run operation. If you stop for pineapple, be sure to try it! We'll be back!

Ruins and Blue Lagoon Tour

Our tour guide Edder and our driver Rito were amazing! This is a great tour to book to avoid the large "Cruise Ship" excursions. It was only our group of 6 and another family of 4 in our own air conditioned very new van. Edder made the one hour drive to the ruins very informative as we traveled through 2 small towns, seeing the real Mexico. Our one hour ruin tour was a perfect amount of time as we spent the rest of the day at the charming Blue Lagoon Resort (tucked away on a winding jungle road) for an authentic Mexican lunch, drinks and swimming/kayaking in the beautiful lagoon. Our 4 teenage girls loved the day. I also appreciate the endless cold water bottles the tour provided. (Along with the margaritas, beer and pina coladas at the lagoon!) Very easy walk from the cruise ship and The Native Choice gives VERY detailed directions to getting there.

Best excursion ever

We had a fabulous time going to the ruins and then to the Mayan village for lunch. Eric, our guide, was very proud of his heritage and it showed in his presentation. The tour as a whole has to be the best I've ever been on.

Really interesting tour!

We had a great tour of the Mayan ruins and then a delightful tour of a Mayan village. Then visited a home and learned to make tacos and were served a lovely lunch. It was beautiful, and interesting. Our guide to the village was Marie and she was very knowledgeable and fun. The ladies teaching Mayan cooking were sweet. I highly recommend this tour. We learned about the ruins, saw monkeys swinging in the trees and had a great day. The Native Choice staff was great.

Amazing Experience!

I booked this tour independent of my cruise. I booked directly on website as I wanted to send the money directly to local business. I couldn't be happier. My tour cost $55. Through Norwegian It was over $119 for the SAME thing. Loved the guides. Very comfortable buses with ac and they make sure you have bottled water. We were even offered a cold damp cloth to refresh with after the tour. LOVED the company. Nice air conditioned building and very pleasant people. I trusted them 100%. The ruins were an experience of a lifetime. So much history. Go. You will be very happy.
