Our guide, Louis, was absolutely amazing! His extensive knowledge of agriculture, insects, history, and the culture of Belize—and specifically Caracol—was truly impressive. He made the experience both educational and enjoyable, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Additionally, the company was highly responsive and professional throughout the entire process.

Luis was a great tour guide...very accommodating and knowledgeable. We enjoyed seeing the ruins and got to see some wildlife as well. Lunch was simple but good. The pools were nice to swim in. Our only complaint was not getting to go the cave due to poor road conditions. Not the company's fault, but it seems like that has been the case for awhile, so it would have been helpful to have an updated type description. Overall, we had a great day!

Leo was our tour guide. He was actually worked in Caracol archeology site in around yr2000. So he explained to us what they did and what they found . He also told us the relationship between Caracol, Tikol and Chichen Itzu. He also told us about the history of Belize and the relationship with Mexico and Guatemala. I learned a lot from him

Our guide on this tour was Leo, whom we had already had for our Lamanai trip. He is a great guide, a great source of information and a great conversationalist. If he happens to be your guide -you’re in luck. The Caracol tour is a must for everyone. The ruins, the rain forest, the animals, you’ve got to experience it. Don’t miss it.
