What an amazing experience! Bucket list crossed off and I am happy I used MayaWalk Tours for this. They are absolutely fun and extremely knowledgeable about the Mayan culture and ruins.

The Caracol tour was awesome. Ben was our driver and Julio was our guide. When we arrived in SI, it rained a couple of days ago, so the road was still a little wet. Ben was such an expert driver. The drive is an adventure in itself. It was a 2.5 hours (I think) drive on a bumpy road and at times slippery due to the rain. Ben would expertly maneuver and slide along the red clay road. Once you get to Caracol, it is totally worth it. The history and the views once you make it to the top is priceless. We did a stop at Big Rock Falls and that was great too.

The ATM cave tour, we went on Christmas Day, so it was super busy. The drive to ATM was shorter so it was manageable. It is a bumpy road to get to the ruins. There is a tour guide for every 8 people. Our guide was Eric, and he was awesome. Another super knowledgeable guide. I am usually the slow one. He was patient with me and said I can take my time. It felt like I was Indiana Jones, crossing through rivers, swimming, climbing rocks, seeing artifacts and bones, bats, beautiful carved rocks, stalactites and stalagmites...it was just amazing. This is the ultimate must do activity in Belize. No cameras allowed due to previous idiots, but in my opinion, it may be better so you can be immersed in the mystical cave.
After our tour, they served us lunch and drinks. Make sure you have a good pair of water shoes. Very important there is good grip on the bottom.
Eric is so dedicated and hard core, he guided another tour after ours. If there are two tours available, I would recommend doing the morning one so you would be the first ones out there.

I definitely recommend MayaWalk tours for all your activities! They are fantastic!

We went to the ATM caves with Maya walks and had the best time!! Our guide Hugh was very knowledgeable and made the experience unforgettable. He told us a lot about the Maya’s, but he also made us feel safe throughout the tour and shared his knowledge about the flora and fauna around the cave with us. Our group wasn’t too big and Hugh could answer every single question asked. We truly had the most amazing time with MayaWalk tours and can only recommend them!!

MayaWalk Tours has been my saving angel when I was in Belize! After I woke up in the middle of the night, finding an email from another tour operator saying they were cancelling my Caracol tour last minute, I was gutted. I woke up at 6am and started calling other tour companies asking if they had any tours going. Giovanni really stepped up here and more than delivered. Not only did he say he could take me; he also said he might get others to join too due to ATM being cancelled because of to the rains. Sure enough, we were 8 people on our way to Caracol at 830am with Giselle as our amazing driver and Giovanni as our knowledgeable guide. They also managed to bring along an awesome lunch as well as rum punch. We made a stop at the Rio Pools and Cave on our way back which was a great ending of our day. Thanks a million!

MayaWalk Tours took care of everything and made this a very memorable day for us. We were picked up at our hotel in San Ignacio, shepherded across the Guatemalan border, driven to Tikal and guided around the site. Our Belizean driver was not allowed to guide us in Guatemala so we actually encountered 3 employees over the course of the day. Each of them was punctual, well informed, and attentive to our needs. I would not have wanted to try this trip on our own but MayaWalks made it easy.

We had the best time ziplining and cave tubing with MayaWalk. I’m terrible with names, but our guide was fantastic - she was incredibly knowledgeable and guided our group of 5 down the river with ease. We were relaxed, had a ton of fun, and always felt very safe. The included lunch and rum punch following the tour hit the spot. Would definitely recommend MayaWalk!!

Liked the different options for tours. The staff was extremely helpful, patient and friendly while I was deciding. Tour guide and driver were accommodating and knowledgeable, as well as being flexible with drop off after the tour. They may be a bit more $$ than a few of the other tour operators-but as they say, you get what you pay for! Highly recommend.

Great tours, Beautiful places!
Our guide Juan Carlos was very knowledgeable about the Mayan history for the ATM and really good as transferring that knowledge in a very entertaining way.
Tikal was also magic, it was like jumping 200 years back in the past.
Highly recommended company and a must do in Belize.
Great organization.

We did the ATM Cave Tour and Cave Tubing Tour. ATM Cave Tour - Amazing. I was not mentally prepared for this tour. It was my fault for not reading more. Cue: Indiana Jones theme song! Hiked through the jungle, cross rivers and swim the opening of this cave. Inside, you travel through the cave, climb up boulders, squeeze between rocks and swim. I am claustrophobic and was nervous, however our guide, JC, was amazing. JC should have a PhD in Mayan Culture. There was not a question he couldn't answer and he made the few of us that were nervous about tight spaces and swimming feel safe and comfortable. He also was quite funny! We saw ancient mayan pottery and remains. The stories JC told really transported us back in time. We left with a great appreciate of the culture and actually continued our education when we returned home. Cave Tubing Tour - We had the first female tour guide for MayaWalk Tour Company! Along with her mentor. They were both great. Just as knowledgable as JC and gave educated us while we walked through the jungle. They paddled us when we slowed and got out to guide us through the mini rapids we went through. It was a very relaxing tour actually! With a some adventure as well!
Both tours offered everything you need except your clothing and shoes. Both offered a delicious lunch and accommodated our vegetarian friends. Waterproof shoes with a sturdy sole is highly recommended, although our water shoes worked.

We had an unmatched experience with MayaWalk Tours. We did the Caracol Maya Ruins Tour and the ATM Tour with them, both were amazing and we would enthusiastically recommend them both. The ATM Tour was an experience all on its own, but our guide was knowledgeable, respectful to the site, and made us feel safe the entire time. We also used MayaWalk for our shuttles to and from Belize City, which made it so easy. Every single team member we encountered with MayaWalk was exceptional, from our guides to the drivers to the staff in the office answering emails, so we’d love to thank everyone we met, once again. Jason, Ashton, Juan Carlos, Josiah, Jeremy, and Connie— thank you so much for making our experience in San Ignacio one that we’ll never forget. Honorable mention to Eric, who was not one of our tour guides, but brought a group into ATM the same day with us, and seemed just as as amazing.

We had the pleasure of Damion as our driver during a 2 week long stay in beautiful Belize. He went out of his way to ensure we were well looked after, acted as a very knowledgeable tour guide and was really good value. We travelled with 12 teenagers who are by definition harsh critics and they were very comfortable with him and had a good laugh. I would highly recommend the company for the tours, and Damion in particular. It’s the most beautiful place to explore but made all the better with a calm, good humoured and friendly guide and driver.
