Ancient history breathtaking - Highly recommend this tour when visiting Belize. You get the opportunity to go up most temples/pyramids. It was quick and easy transport. We got picked up at hotel and got dropped off at the border who Walter proceed to pick us up and take us to the guide. Highly recommend this tour.

Adventure and History in Belize - zip lining, cave tubing, and Mayan ruins - MayaWalk Tours did a great job on our recent visit to San Ignacio, Belize! We did two day trips with them. The first day, we went cave tubing and zip lining, and also visited the Xunantunich ruins. Our guide Edeoni was very friendly and knowledgeable. We learned a lot about Mayan history and he even climbed Xunantunich with us to explain the carvings in detail. He pulled our cave tubes through the entire river so we could relax and enjoy the scenery. The zip lining was safe and fun. The second day we did a day trip to Tikal and the Belize/Guatemala transitions were very smooth. Our guide Reggie quizzed us on Mayan Math and talked a lot about the history of Tikal. MayaWalk Tours also drove us to and from Belize City and the rides were very smooth. I highly recommend MayaWalk Tours to anyone visiting the San Ignacio area of Belize!

Five star experience. Unforgettable. - We did the Tikal day trip and the half day cave tubing with Maya Walk. Both were unforgettable: went very smoothly indeed, with very friendly and knowledgeable guides on each trip. We were lucky to have essentially private tours for both. Other tour companies might have canceled if they hadn’t sold enough tickets but Maya Walk went ahead even though it was only our family signed up. So it was incredible value for us. The experience was absolutely five-star. Would recommend without hesitation and would definitely go with them again.

Excellent trip, albeit a... - Excellent trip, albeit a long one from San Ignacio. We were taking to the border and to cross to meet tour guide on the other side, a little bit daunting not being accompanied but was easy enough. Long car journey to get to Tikal but well worth it. Guide spoke great English and was very knowledgeable. Border crossing on the way back was the same, but we had to wait around 30 minutes for pickup due to unexpected traffic - a little scary but all good in the end.

I thought it would be good, but it was amazing! - Tikal was better than we imagined. Amazing Mayan ruins scattered throughout a beautiful tropical forest. Our guide explained the history and significance of what we saw and helped us understand the rise and fall of the mighty Mayan society. Our guides walked us across the border and took care of all the fees and paperwork. You could visit the site on your own but it would take much more time and you wouldn’t gain half the understanding.

Unimaginable Sights and Breathtaking Tour - Communication was excellent from before, and during the tour. Transportation was prompt and air conditioned. The tour of the park wasn’t arduous but enlightening. Lunch was fantastic!! Choices were varied to suit everyone’s tastes. Tour guide was average, but adequate.

Interesting but demanding adventure - It is quite demanding adventure, lasting about 12 hours. However, for me, it was well organized and led by experienced and helpful guide. This trip fulfilled my expectations. However, I wish we sight a bit more the Maya pyramids in Tikal.
