Best tour ever!

This was the best tour we took while on our cruise.

The guide was very passionate about his heritage and preserving it. Very informative and a great lunch in the Mayan village we visited.

Will definitely do another tour with them.

Exactly the review I wanted to write

Because of weather conditions, we were unable to dock in Costa Maya. Since internet/mobile phone charges from the ship would have cost as much as the tour, we never contacted Native Choice about canceling our excursion. When we got home days later, we found an e-mail informing us that our tour costs were promptly refunded in full.

This is definitely an organization with great integrity.

Best Excursion Ever

We took this excursion with four generations of my family, from my 4 year old grandchildren to my almost 80 year old parents. Everyone absolutely loved the entire excursion!

The ruins were so interesting, thanks to the great tour guides. The lunch with the Mayan family was phenomenal!! The food was delicious. The Mayan ladies were so warm and welcoming. Andrea, our guide, gave us a detailed explanation of the Mayan traditions and meal preparations. We even got to try to make our own tortillas!. By the time we had to leave, we felt that we were leaving dear friends!

If I get a chance to go back to Costa Maya, I would definitely use Native Choice for my excursion.

Thank you for a great day!

Awesome Tour and Experience

Booked online and no regrets. Very easy to find from the dock and modern tour bus. Ivan our tour guide gave us so much information and really made us feel welcome.

The ruins are spectacular and would definitely give Native Choice a 5 star rating! Be sure to try the pineapple with chili powder.

Great Tour of Chacchoben

We were very fortunate to have chosen The Native Choice for this tour. David was our guide and we benefited greatly from his depth of knowledge and insight to the history of the Mayan culture. The ruins are very impressive and worth the trip. This was not a "grab your camera, take some pics and return to the ship" kind of tour. David took the time to explain in detail the complex social and political structure of the Mayans as we explored the site. The trip to the ruins from the cruise dock was quick and comfortable.

Definitely recommended!

Excellent Tour with a Great Guide

This was a great tour and we were fortunate to have Frine as our guide, and to have a small group of only four people plus our guide.

The Native Choice location is easy to find and the van was new and very comfortable. The ride to the ruins was about an hour but it passed quickly as Frine is a font of information on the geography, wildlife, culture, etc. The ruins are very interesting and stretch over a larger area than I expected. The main pyramids are in the 60-80 foot high range. Not massive but very interesting. There is much more to see than indicated by a couple of reviews I had read before booking. We stayed at the ruins for two hours and learned a great deal about the Mayan people and the building of the village and temples, We were delivered promptly back to the port at the advertised time.

Absolutely no hesitation in recommending Native Choice and this tour.

Excellent tour

Many thanks for Francisco for interesting introduction in Mayan culture. Dzibanche Mayan ruins were worth to see!

We also enjoyed mangos, pineapples and applebananas. We happily recommended native choice!
