Local experience

Published on Dec, 2024

Great experience with the locals. Lunch was an interactive experience and quite delicious and filling. Learning about the Mayans was interesting

Wonderful Excursion

Published on Dec, 2024

Loved interacting with the wonderful Mayan Family that cooked for us. The ruins were very interesting with all the history, but be advised that climbing them is not for the weak. However, definitely recommend this excursion for the experience.

Great Trip and Great Tour Guide

Native Choice made this experience great! Leaving the port can be tricky but they greeted us with smiles, and ease. Lorenzo was our guide for the Mayan ruins-wow he knows his stuff! We learned so much Mayan history. Maria and Fernando took us to meet the local Mayan family- she is super knowledgeable and sweet. Making tortillas for our AMAZING meal was the best!! Everyone should do this!
