By far, the best excursion of our cruise!

By far, the best excursion of our cruise! Our guide, Eliu, was knowledgeable, courteous and helpful. The van ride was air conditioned and comfortable and we were provided with cold water. Also treated to fresh pineapple served with dried pepper on the way to the ruins-great! It was especially nice to have a small group.
The Mayan luncheon was wonderful as was our host family. A really nice touch.

We got to see everything we wanted without feeling rushed and returned to Costa Maya with plenty of time to shop before having to board ship.

Thanks so much!

We definitely recommend this tour!

We definitely recommend this tour! We learned a lot from Louisa on the ride from port to the ruins. She suggested we stop for fresh local pineapple and everyone on our bus loved it! Walking and learning about the ruins and Mayan history wasn't too long or too rushed, it was just right. Well worth every penny. If you aren't sure if you wanna take this tour, we suggest you go for it, you'll be happy you did.

Not to be missed.

When you are in Costa Maya, The Native Choice is not to be missed. Ivan and his staff are excellent! From the reservation process to greeting you at their office everything and everyone makes it a memorable experience. On our way to the ruins the bus stopped and they purchased fresh sliced pineapple from the wonderful ladies at a roadside stand. Some of the pineapple is seasoned with their own dried chile and is truly delicious! Ivan was our tour guide at the ruins and his knowledge is amazing. He covers the past and present and explained the Mayan calendar (no the world is not going to end next year) as well as the Mayan math system.
At no time was the information boring. My wife , an educator, commented that Ivan would make an excellent teacher with his ability to hold your attention and present so much information. So if you want an amazing tour at a fantastic price and at the same time be treated as a guest, be sure to contact The Native Choice tour group. They are all wonderful people and will ensure you have a memorable experience.

Very professional and well worth your business.

We were very impressed with the extra effort the owners made to ensure that we had a tour. Our tour guide, Enrique, was extremely knowledgeable and gracious. Not only did he give us a great tour, he purchased some pineapple along the road and shared it with us. Just an extra touch showing his willingness to have our tour experience a wonderful one. The Mayan village was our 1st but not our last. Thanks to Native Choice. It's always a bit scary venturing off the "cruise ship" excursions but this outfit is very professional and well worth your business.

It was just awesome!

We booked the Kohunlich tour. We ended up touring with just one other couple. Our driver, Alejandro, and our guide, Fransisco, were gracious and accommodating. On the way to the site, we stopped for a snack from the best street vendors and to use the restrooms. After that Francisco started the tour by explaining the Mayan history. But first he asked of if we wanted to switch to the Dzibanche tour, he said the choice was ours but he recommended it because we could climb on the ruins, it was an entire city, and there are no people there. We all agreed that sounded better, so we went there instead and we were all SO glad. It was just awesome to see it all and have Francisco explain the history, he really knows his stuff. In fact he volunteers for free on the excavation sites, just because he loves it so much. We were really glad we had him as our tour guide...he also speaks 'monkyish', at least that's what we named it. He could howl like the monkeys and they responded allowing us to get closer and take pictures...just way too cool...This is a must have experience, go to Dzibanche and get Francisco as a guide!!!

The best of my holidays.

This was a fantastic tour. The best of my holidays. The ruins were interesting, and visiting the Mayan family was a lovely experience. The guide had a great attitude, and knew so much about the ruins and was a great host. Thank you to Eliu and to Donia Adella and her family!
