As a family of five, with a 7 year old, we had an excellent time on this tour. We were picked up promptly at the cruise port by Diego (our driver) and Alan (our tour coordinator). We shared a van with two other people from our cruise ship, making for a private tour experience. Both were great throughout, with Diego ensuring our comfort and safety on the drive to the ruins. Alan is a fantastic guide. Extremely knowledgeable and really showed a genuine passion for Mayan culture and history. Along the way, he not only shred information about the area, but told the story of the Mayans - from the time of the Mayans to those keeping the culture alive today. I have been facilitating corporate training courses for over 15 years and Alan has a natural gift for both teaching and connecting with people. At the Ruins, Yoshi was our guide and was very knowledgeable of the history and significance of the site. She gave ample time to explore and ensured that all questions were answered in a relatable way. The site was not very busy during our visit, so we combined with another group for the tour of the ruins. We had lots of time to take pictures with our phones and get a more complete personalized experience. After the ruins, we visited the Maya villa (roughly 15 min drive) and learned to make traditional tortillas. While there, we learned of the local plants and their uses, from allspice to cinnamon trees. Alan was extremely knowledgeable and clearly passionate about traditional cooking techniques, the benefits and uses of local plants, and the ancestral culture itself. We were welcomed into someone’s home and treated as family along the way. The ruins are magnificent, but the experience was made that much better by the people of Native Choice. Would absolutely recommend to anyone for a great experience.

Our guide's name was pronounced, Yoshie - I didn't catch how to spell it. She was great. The tour company was Native Choice. The Mayan ruins were fantastic and Yoshie was very knowledgeable about the history of the site. Our trip to Chachoben for a traditional lunch was wonderful. The ladies were friendly and very welcoming. The lunch was delicious and her home was impressive, with many food and medicinal plants on her land. I would highly recommend this trip.

We booked this tour to avoid the big bus cruise excursion. It was exactly what we had hoped for. Transportation was in a comfortable small bus with only 6 people, and after a private tour of the Mayan ruins, we visited a nearby village and had a personal lunch at a private home. Our tour guide, Rosie, was knowledgeable and friendly and did everything to make our day enjoyable.

It was a great experience. The ruins tour is fast, but that is just the realities of a cruise stop. The guide was knowledgeable. And the time making tortillas and having lunch was a blast.

A perfectly organized tour with very knowledgeable guides who could answer all questions. In addition, it is a great experience if you can make and enjoy tortillas yourself (with professional help)! Cool water is distributed for free and is abundant!

What a great way to experience culture and learn some history! Our tour guide Edder did a great job of making us feel welcomed and was excellent at sharing the historical information with us! Can't forget to mention our driver Pedro who got us to our destinations at record speeds. lol Edder was very knowledgeable about the Mayan history and people. He answered any questions that people had while on the tour. The visit to the ruins and to the Mayan family for lunch was great! The food was delicious and the family was super nice! Being able to make our own tortillas and eat them immediately after was cool! And if you're visiting via cruise ship, no worries, we were back to the port with plenty of time to walk around and shop!

Native Choice tour guide Edder did an amazing job looking after us, he is very knowledgeable and made us laugh a lot. The lunch cooked by the Mayan ladies was lovely and they are very welcoming, inviting us in to their home. We booked this instead of booking with our cruise operator and we paid less and got a much better experience by being in a small group. It’s also better for the local people and their economy. 10/10!
