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.

Don’t tell anyone, but the roads are WAY better than the reviews say. - Amazing I think at this point in our trip we wanted to take Dimas everywhere with us. He could literally find tarantulas in the grass, and knew everything about this beautiful place. What a great opportunity to compare Tikal’s rival city, and far more shaded too. Of course we climbed all over, and the views were incredible. Again Dimas showed us birds (those nests), and really brought the history to life with his knowledge of the site.

Incredible Mayan Caracol tour and caves and pools - We had an incredible day tour w this operator - all of their staff were super friendly and helpful and not pushy - our tour guide O’Neil was super knowledgeable and thoughtful and we were taken care of throughout the day - the food was so fresh and tasty and we loved the Caracol Mayan ruins, The open ended cave of Rio Frio and also the swimming pools to cool off and relax at the end - the vehicle was air conditioned and we also got to see a toucan which was amazing for us. I would highly recommend this company and their guides. Top notch.

Caracol and cave exploration - Long road under construction took us deep into the jungle to the incredible site of Caracol. Interesting history, incredible ruins, and wild birds and monkeys. Lunch was excellent locally prepared food. O’Neil, our guide was an excellent source of information. We finished the day at Rio Frio Cave and falls for a refreshing swim. The cave was huge with lots of interesting formations, bats, and history.
