Great shore excursion with Diego
We were in Costa Maya on a cruise. I booked this tour along with 15 other friends ahead of the cruise. The tour works with the ship schedule and departs one hour after ship docks at the port. Our group of 16 were put in one van and we had a wonderful time on the tour. Tour guide Diego was excellent in sharing information about the area we were in and the history of the Mayan ruin. We came back to the port with spare time to shop before heading back to the ship.

A Great Experience
We have a group of 16 people booked this tour outside of the Princess Cruise. We were lucky enough to get a 16 people van just for our group. Our tour guide Diego was very knowledgeable
about the tour and also shared much information regarding the island. Our driver Ebel not only provided a safe comfortable ride for us, but also went out of his way to carry umbrellas, a cooler full of bottled water, and sunscreen for the group. I will give this tour a thumbs up!

Great Costa Maya Excursions!!!
We were lucky to have Diego as a tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and friendly person. he told us the stories and the history of the Mayan ruin. It was very interesting. The drive Adel was a very considerable person with a happy smile, he walked with us carrying the umbrellas ( prepared for the rain ) as well as the insect repellent. Fortunately the weather was good and there was no need for the umbrella. Thumb up and 5 stars from me.

Loved it
Our family of three took the tour to Chacchoben and we loved it. Our daughter is 12, she picked this tour as her favorite thing we did on the trip. Our guide was Kacie and the driver was Miguel. We highly recommend them, they made the trip so enjoyable. They had a lot of local knowledge. We loved the small group size. I also found their facts and theories about the Mayan history to be well researched and thoughtful (I have visited over 16 ruins and read extensively the current academic writings). We hope to use them again.

We made the right choice!
We experienced the best tour of our Mexican cruise. From the short walk from the ship to our greeting at the tour office and cold bottled water, we enjoyed learning about the Mayan culture and region from Diego, our knowledgeable guide and Mayan descendant. Diego made sure that he answered all our questions and taught us about the trees and native plants used by the Mayans. He explained the five different calendars and how the temples to Venus, the Sun, and the Moon were built and aligned. Giving us insect spray to protect us from mosquitoes was a super nice gesture. We had plenty of time to explore and even heard the spider monkeys in the tree canopy. Miguel, our driver, even drove us to the port entrance on our return. Overall, a memorable day! Thanks!

Excellent Tour of Blue Lagoon
Our tour of the Blue Lagoon was an excellent adventure! We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and our tour guide, Diego, was exceptional. He was very knowledgeable and shared many interesting facts about the area. We loved the Bacalar Lagoon Resort and had a fabulous lunch and drinks. The water at the lagoon was so beautiful, and we saw all seven colors. We also enjoyed the kayaking trip. Diego certainly made our day with his personalized attention! I would highly recommend this tour to other travelers.

Wonderful Experience
This excursion was amazing. At first I was nervous about leaving the port area to walk to the Native Choice office, but it turned out to be a short walk. When we got to the office, we checked in and were given water for the ride to the ruins site. On the ride, Maria was very friendly and knowledgeable; she told us about the different places we passed along the way and about the history of the Maya culture. This made the ride go by pretty quickly. The ruins were amazing; they are incredible to see in person and to learn about why they were built. The tour was very informative and we had plenty of time to explore and take pictures and shop before heading back to the port area.
On our ride back to the port, we stopped at a pineapple stand on the side of the road for some fresh pineapple. This is optional, but I'm glad everyone opted to stop. The pineapple was incredibly sweet and juicy, unlike any pineapple you will find in the supermarket. Also, they will drive you right to the port when the excursion is over, so you don't have to worry about walking back. I definitely recommend this tour company to anyone interested in seeing the ruins while in Costa Maya!

Awesome tour and Guide
We had Eric as a tour guide. He was one of the best tour guides we ever had. He was very pleasant and full of knowledge. Eric went into more detail then the average tour guide. We truly enjoyed listening and learning from him.
