Wonderful!

What a wonderful experience. Transportation to the ruins was in a large, comfortably air-conditioned bus.

Our particular guide David Villagomez was very friendly and has a wealth of information about the ruins and also Mayan culture. We enjoyed his company as much as we did the tour and felt honored by the information he relayed to us as well as some pictures he shared. The tour greatly exceeded our expectations and David's wealth of information made for a very enjoyable day.

I would highly recommend this tour. Booking directly with this independent tour operator, (rather than through Norwegian) also saved us some money.

Amazing

For just short 4.5 hr trip, spending 2.5 hr at the ruins, we had a fantastic experience. The ride was comfortable and the guide extremely knowledgeable chatting to us about local history, Mayan history and the differences between the various Mayan ruins found in Central America.

We toured as a small group of 20 and had ample time to explore and take photos. It whetted my appetite to journey to more places.

I would highly recommend touring Chacchoben with Native Choice tours.

INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE

Our tour guide Sr. Fredrico was exceptional and provided us with insight above and beyond that provided by any other tour during our 8 day western Caribbean cruise. I wish I could attach some of the photos that I took. His knowledge and expertise far exceeded all expectations.

Please thank him for us for a memorable experience.

This is the tour for you!

If you are interested in Mayan history, then this is the tour for you!

We had the BEST tour guide (Angela). She was very attentive to our needs and patient when we spent a little longer time shopping. She was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. We thoroughly enjoyed having lunch by the water.

Wonderfully memorable visit to Costa Maya.

Joel & Alejandro were our guide and driver in a comfortable van and Joel gave the 8 in our party a brief overview of what our tour would entail.

We got to Chacchoben earlier than the buses and so we were unencumbered by large groups of people. Joel is very knowledgeable and we learned a lot as he took us through the history and customs of his people. Ample water and time were provided to explore thoroughly. We then drove about 20 minutes through some beautiful and unspoiled country side to a small village where we stopped for lunch. The food was all locally grown and prepared by 4 of the sweetest ladies, dressed in their Sunday best dresses. Everyone washed up before being shown how to make tortillas. The lunch was superb and the backyard garden that we ate in was simple, clean and serene.

Mary and I are very grateful to all of the people involved in making a wonderfully memorable visit to Costa Maya. `

Wonderful Excursion

This would be my first port and my favorite port. Ivan was so friendly, warm, funny and welcoming. His knowledge and passion for what he does and his knowledge of the Mayan culture was extraordinary. The ruins were amazing and I hope they are able to build some walkways one day. There is so many artifacts under the ground that have not been discovered and the more tourists walk on it the more it will be destroyed. On to the lagoon, food was out of this world! What a beautiful resort in the middle of nowhere. Everyone is Costa Maya were beyond friendly. As Ivan put it, "in my Country today you will be treated like Royalty" and I sure felt that!

Wonderful tour to the Chacchoben ruins

This is a wonderful tour to the Chacchoben Mayan ruins and a great lunch with a Maya family and friends!

The Native Choice tour group provides superb service. Tour guides were extremely knowledgeable, helpful and polite. They made the long ago civilization almost come to life. The bus and vans were comfortable and air conditioned. The luncheon was delicious and very, very special. It was a real treat and an experience to remember.

Thank you Native Choice!

Small and personal tour

We had an amazing experience! Small, personal tour unlike the cruise ship excursion. It's like shopping in a boutique( Native Choice) compared to a huge box store. Service and personalization can't be beat. Newer comfortable vans to transport you, unlimited cold bottled water and juice boxes, umbrellas offered to help with the sun.

Ivan is an amazing guide. Kasi was a wonderful guide too. Raul drive us safely and we topped in Pineapple City for amazing fresh pineapple, oranges and tangerines.

Thanks for the great time!!!
