Fantastic!

We booked a tour with Native Choice to Chaccoben Maya Ruins and Blue Lagoon adventure.

It was FANTASTIC!!!!!!
Thanks to Francisco our guide, the man is a wealth of information. Of Mayan ancestry Francisco has a deep love for archeology, Mayan history and culture, which he unselfishly shared with us with passion. The Mayan ruins did not disappoint us either; one can really see the grandeur of the Mayan era. It is a mystic place.
After our voyage in time we had lunch at the Blue Lagoon and of course some cocktail courtesy of the house, Jim and I enjoy the kaya very much, the resort is sublime a paradise with its tall palms and charming bungalows.
Thank you Francisco, thank you Native choice we had a great time.

Excellent Tour and Excellent Guides

Our tour was excellent. Our guide, Kasi, was knowlegeable and also spoke PERFECT English. The driver at the ruins was also very good.

I greatly enjoyed the tour in spite of rain and cool temperatures. We had a good lunch at the lake but no one really wanted to do snorkeling or kayaking because of the rain. I have taken a large number of private tours and this ranks near the top.

Thank you,
Mike Mastellar

WOW, DO THIS TOUR!!!

I will never forget the day doing this tour, it was the high-light of my entire cruise.

We were fortunate enough to have had Ivan as our guide. The entire trip there he gave a great history talk and was funny and informative. He shared great accounts of his childhood playing at the ruins site before it became a government park. The entire trip is well worth your while.

Thanks Ivan, you really impressed us!

Excellent Tour of Chachoben Ruins!!

The tour was exactly as described on the website!

It was safe, interesting, and fun with a super knowledgeable guide. The small size of the tour group (8) was perfect as our guide gave us a fascinating history of the Mayan culture and told us how the people in the area live today. He truly brought the ruins to life with his vivid descriptions of how people lived in the huge Mayan cities.

I highly recommend The Native Choice when you are in Costa Maya.

Extremely Informative!

Francisco was very prepared and gave an enormous amount of information to us. My friends went on another ruin tour and when we compared notes and pics, they were very sorry they missed such a wonderful tour with Francisco!!! He has such a passion for sharing all the information he gathers. It certainly shows how much of a veracious reader and researcher he is. He should be an anthropologist! I believe he has assisted on digs, due to his personal interest!

Thank you Francisco, I learned so much!

Dzibanche Ruins

What a great experience! Our guide Fransico was great with lots of information and insights.

It was by far the best Ruins I have seen. Small group with plenty of time to experience the Ruins. Worth the ride. Thanks Fransico!

A must see cultural site!

This tour was the highlight of our family vacation. It helped us gain a better insight of the local residents as well as the history of the area. The tour provided us with an opportunity to learn about this wonderful culture and see how they built their structures.

There are 12 or so small stands selling items that are a MUST to purchase. My highlight is a wonderful, handmade and decorated rainstick.

This is a must see tour.

Memorable Experience

Outstanding tour with Ivan the guide who brought the Mayan people and culture into sharp detail. Tremendous insight into the ruins, the geography and the people. Tour organization was excellent and driver and bus clean and the whole experience efficient.

Highly recommend this company.
