Amazing Tour With Dimas! - Great tour with and an excellent guide. Dimas was knowledgeable in the rich history of the Mayan culture and entertaining. The ruins are well preserved. We went in a week day and it wasn’t busy at all. Lunch was a tradition belizean meal provided by Dina’s in site at Caracor and probably one of our best meals on the trip. Highly recommend this tour.

His genuine, excitement responding wildlife along the way was infectious. The cave hike, the ruins, and the wildlife be spotted made for an amazing day. To top it off, the included lunch was absolutely delicious.

Nature and History - We had a great time with Henry. He was a fabulous guide. Not only did we learn so much about Caracol, but Henry was very knowledgeable about birds. The trip was a great combo of nature and Mayan ruins.

A plus service - Great experience. Wish I could remember the name of our guide who drove us there because he was such a gentleman trying to assist my 80 year old sister,. The guide from the company who we joined was very knowledgeable and easy to understand. Lunch was great.

Wonderful experience - We arrived yesterday in town with in mind to do the ruins of Caracol and the mountain pine ridge forest waterfalls. We were very well received in the agency and a tour almost safe measure was offered to us for 130USD pp. Today departure 8am with Pedro and Abner for an exceptional day, kindness, explanations and security whether to climb the steps of Caracol or swim in the waterfall. Thank you very much!

10 hours of fun. Best tour guide ever. Food A+ - Such a good trip. What really brought it above the rest was our tour guide. He got everybody talking and having fun. This is the best tour I ever took and the food was amazing they served. Provided a great value for the amount of time you got. To top it all off the tour guide told us to literally take all the time we wanted at the Rio on pools, we spent over an hour bathing in the pools and exploring.
