We received good instructions on how to find the kiosk to check in for the tour. Alan was a good tour guide, providing a lot of interesting information about the area and Mayan culture as we were transported between locations. Diego was the on-site guide for the ruins and was also excellent. Since the tour started early and was with a small group, we got to tour the ruins ahead of the crowds. The Mayan village experience was also good - learning to make corn tortillas and having a nice lunch. The van driver, Anastacio (sp?), got us around quickly and with plenty of time to make it back to our cruise ship; he also provided us with plenty of cold water bottles (no need to bring your own). Highly recommend over any tour offered by the cruise line.

Due to issues on Cruise ship, we arrived late and only completed half the excursion. This was with Roberto our driver and Maggie and Joel (guides) who were both excellent with their presentation and information about the Mayan Ruins. Thoroughly enjoyed the trip and recommend it as an excursion.

This was an incredible tour, exceeding our expectations. One thing we loved was the 60 min timeframe to leave. We were a bit worried by this, but the walk to the pickup spot was easy once we extracted ourselves from the mayhem of the touristy port area. Leaving quickly allowed us to get to the ruins earlier than most, so we had lovely weather, and photos without a whole bunch of other people. Our guide was super knowledgeable and friendly. THEN we went to the Mayan village and although it was a bit commercialized, it was still authentic-enough to get the experience. The tortillas we made were tasty, and everything for lunch was great too. Only minor complaint is my own taste buds expecting spicy and not getting it. Turned out to be great for the kiddos in that regard. All in all, highly recommend this one!

My family enjoyed our Mayan Experience tour with Eddar. The meeting spot was easy to find. It was my son’s favorite day of the cruise. We had a small group of 14. Our group got to Chacchoben ahead of the cruise excursions so we had some time there without the crowds. We all enjoyed the Mayan lunch too. It felt like we did get a nice taste of the culture. I would highly recommend this excursion experience.

The guide and ruins was amazing. We visited a village for lunch and it was amazing. Would love to return for another visit.

This is a great tour, one I would recommend the cruise lines to offer to their customers when I do our cruise review. The only concern I have is the difficulty to find the meeting point, having to navigate the very distracting pier stalls and finding the exit out of the port. While we allocated 30 minutes to walk to the meeting point, we barely made it to the required meeting time. I hope for the tour to avoid the negative reviews because customers are being left behind after struggling to find their way to the meeting point. I suggest stating 30 minutes instead of 15 from the ship to the meeting point to allow for people sufficient time. Like I said this is a great tour and I hope people do not miss it.

Mayan ruins, how current day Mayans cook and live, a satisfying Mayan lunch and how to appreciate plants, trees and leaves for cooking. The excursion combined at least three elements of the what the cruise (NCL) offered separately. This is why we took this excursion instead of booking with the cruise line.

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.
