Facts, Stories, and Fun – The Ideal Tour Experience! - This experience was absolutely wonderful from start to finish! Our guide, Edeoni, was incredible—so knowledgeable and passionate, yet engaging and easy to listen to. What really stood out was how he wove fascinating stories around the facts, making history (and the whole area)come alive in such a unique way. Every moment felt thoughtfully planned, and I walked away not just informed, but truly inspired. If you’re considering this experience—do it! Our driver, Mr Bol, was very willing to chat with me about more of the Mayan culture and Saidia provided a tasty lunch right at the site! You’ll learn so much and have an unforgettable time. Highly recommended!

Amazing Experience! - Wonderful experience visiting the ruins, brought to life by our knowledgeable & humorous guide Edeoni. I highly recommend Mayan Walks Tours & Edeoni for those seeking an adventurous and fun educational tour. Our driver Boi was an excellent driver & personable. Saidia prepared our lunch and ensured my special dietary needs were deliciously met.

Fantastic day in Mayan country - Coming to see Mayan ruins was why I came to Belize. Our guide, Edeoni, was so knowledgeable and clearly loves his country and it's history. The driver, Mr. Bol and Saidia, who prepared a wonderful lunch for this all day trip were so gracious also

Caracol ruins & Rio Frío day trip - We had an amazing experience visiting Caracol with this MayaWalk tour. Our guide Adioni was knowledgeable, informative & professional. We even got to see & hear two troupes of Howler monkeys challenging each other! Swimming at Rio Frío pools was really refreshing.

Amazing - The tour was perfect. It was much more than we expected. The site was incredible, and the lunch was delicious. We learn a lot about the Mayas and El Caracol. I highly recommend this tour. Our driver (Jaheem) and tour guide (Ed) were great. Thanks for everything.

Crystal Cave and Snail - Excellent guides. Both Jaheem and Richard are amazing, very professional and share their knowledge with passion. They are very friendly and it is easy to connect with them to have a great experience. I did the tour with my sister and because it was off-season it was just the two of us so it was like a private tour. The original tour was just snail and river on pools, but they took the time to take us to a cave and big rock falls as well. Excellent transport, modern and clean. The delicious food. I will definitely book with them again when I return to Belize. In addition to snails, a day earlier we toured Crystal Cave and it was a different experience. Excellent for those looking for real adventure. I also want to highlight Marcus’ professionalism, the guide inside the cave, a highly prepared man with a lot of knowledge of Belizean history, nature, flora and fauna, as well as being a member of the Belizean rescue team, makes you feel calm and confident to carry out the activity. Thank you so much for these amazing days in San Ignacio!

100% would recommend. Our... - 100% would recommend. Our guides Irvin and (I apologize for not remembering the other name) were very knowledgeable on the history of not only the ruins and what was in our tour but gave us a lesson on Belize as a whole. Very kind and accommodating people.

100000/10 Experience - I had the best experience with MayaWalk Tours! Everyone went above and beyond making the tour a great experience. I booked 2 tours with them as a solo person, and as is standard in Belize, most tours need at least 2 people to operate. MayaWalk did such an excellent job coordinating with me and my schedule to make sure my tours had at least 2 people so I could still go! Edeoni and Orvin gave such a thorough tour, making sure to identify animal paw prints and point out things only a trained eye could see and also helping us with any slippery areas or big steps. Lunch was excellent, big portion and even came with dessert. The cave was breathtaking and the ruins had so much more to see than I expected. Pickup was punctual and I felt very safe with Orvin’s driving. I can’t wait to come back someday and do more tours with MayaWalk.

Highly recommend Caracol and tour guide Edeoni - Our guide, Edeoni, was awesome! He made the trip so much more fun! it was amazing to be able to climb up the stairs at Caracol (steps were surprisingly large, considering the relatively small stature of the Mayan peoples) and the Rio pools were so nice and refreshing.

Unbelizeable! - Before leaving, looking for tour operators in San ignacio we contacted Tourwalk for 2 excursions, Tikal and Caracol, beautiful experiences, competent guides especially Ed who made the day in Caracol pleasant and interesting, knows everything, from historical news to info about fauna and flora. The agency is serious and well organized, absolutely recommended!
