MSC Excursions from Costa Maya to Chacchoben

[galaxieman63]

Apologies in advance if this is a repeat post. The site's search is still limited following the upgrade.

I''m looking to book an Excursion through MSC to go to the Chacchoben ruins from Costa Maya. Their is a standard option and a Premium. The descriptions don't give a huge amount of detail as to the differences, other than to say the premium excursion includes beverages during the ride (It's about an hour each way) and is "designed for comfort."

Has anyone done the "premium" excursion, and was the coach nicer than a standard excursion bus? Did you feel like the extra cost was worth it? 

 

Thanks

I suggest you consider booking it with Native Choice Tours. The office is about a 5 minute walk once you exit the cruise port area. Excellent tour guides, clean and comfortable vehicles and it was great being in a smaller tour group once we got to the site.

We never heard or read about the "premium option" when we were on Armonia. So maybe this is new and that is why not to much informations available. 

On our dinner table we had people that took the excursion to Kohunlich ruins, they were very satisfied.

In the end we took a cab there and paid the $6 per person entry. There are tour guides you can hire on the spot for $50 for a private group. We opted to skip the tour guide and just roam. It was less than half the cost of even the "non-premium" option from MSC. Next time in that port we'll do Kohunlich.
