    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.

    We were very lucky to have a private tour with the one and only Miguel! He made us feel so welcomed and shared so much of his mayan knowledge with us. He always took his time and also made us feel like there was no rush. We also appreciated the moments when he offered to take picture of us for our memories.The tour was truly amazing and the lunch included was very delicious. Thank you so much for a memorable tour!

    Our guide was great! What an interesting day! I felt like I was on a private tour. Caracol was very difficult to reach so I was thankful we had such a competent driver. The entire ride and experience he was giving us history of Belize and recent political situations. Very informative.

    A vast archeological site with impressive temples and structures and very few people visiting when we were there. Selwyn, our guide, is extremely knowledgeable and loves sharing the history of the site and explaining what we’re looking at. This particular tour, we also visited the Rio Frio cave and the Rio On pools on our return. Long day, VERY bumpy road, but well worth the time, especially thanks to our guide. I highly recommend this activity.

    We booked a private experience and our guide Leo was SO knowledgeable. He had been part of the archeological excavation team in the 90’s and in addition to sharing his vast knowledge of Maya culture and history he also shared his personal experiences as part of the team working in the Barrio area. Beyond that he also gave a wonderful cultural and historical tour on the drive to and from the site. About the drive-we came to Belize thinking that we would not be making the visit to Caracol as we had read a number of descriptions of the trip as a 4 hour drive each direction. Turns out that was the case as recently as a year or two ago. However there is a major road improvement underway that reduces the travel each way from San Ignacio to about 2 hours. The climb to the top of Caana was strenuous but manageable for a couple of moderately fit “senior citizens” and truly a highlight of our time in Belize
