First of all, let me say that you don't want to do this tour with babies or toddlers, and your shoes are going to get muddy. Costa Maya is a Carnival-created tourism area with overpriced shops, overpriced drinks, etc. We decided to go on this ruins trip instead of hanging out in the port. The drive was smooth but took...

Booking thru their site is cheaper than what the cruise ship offers and you are in smaller groups. It is an hour drive to and from the site. So the actual tour is 2 hours. Our guide took two cell phone calls in the middle of his lecture which we felt was rude. Maybe customs are different in Costa Maya... More

We recently had a wonderful tour of the Mayan ruins close to the port of Costa Maya with tour guide David Villagomez of Native Choice Tours.David's excellent knowledge of Mayan history, culture, architecture, and society was coupled with extensive information about the plants and animals of the area, as well! David's warm and engaging delivery of the information kept us... More

We proceeded to enjoy a detailed tour of the ruins with his descriptions of the buildings and much detail about the art we were seeing. David... More

We had a really terrific time with Native Choice Tours and our fine tour guide, Joel. On our Western Caribbean cruise on the Norwegian Spirit, we had plenty of opportunities to enjoy the wonders of this region. On this excursion, however, we were able to get a behind the scenes understanding of local history and culture. We visited the Mayan... More

We had only one day at Costa Mayas, coming from the celebrity Solstice. We booked this trip"the Mayan experience" trough their website a few weeks before our trip. "The native choice" people were exactly where they said they would be, just a short walk outside the crowded cruise terminal. Smooth intake, very laid back. The first part of the trip... More

In February 2012, we took the Norwegian Star to Costa Maya Mexico. I booked our tour on line with Native Choice. We were not dissapointed. The ruins were great and not overly crowded. Ivan was the owner and the tour guide. He was very thorough in his history as well as his own background. Our visit in the Mayan village... More
