“Excellent Guides”

Recently got back from Belize and did both the ATM tour and Tikal day trip with Pacz. Both were great experiences. In each case, the tour guides were professional and very well-organized, picking us up from our lodge (Chaa Creek) on time.

The ATM tour was a lot of fun. You do need to be comfortable with spending time hiking through cold water in a cave. But the payoff is pretty unique - a large inner chamber with tons of Mayan artifacts and skeletons. The guide was quite knowledgeable. He set a pretty quick pace and didn't baby us, which I appreciated, but might be a little too fast for some who are accustomed to a more leisurely pace.

The Tikal tour was amazing. Our guide's name was Hugo (sp?), and he was by far the best guide I've ever had. Incredibly knowledgeable about the history of the Maya, their culture, the animals we saw, the plants. Amazingly well-spoken and well-informed. It felt like we were taking the tour with a professor. Just the right level of detail and pace. We got so much more out of the tour because of him. All of the transportation across the border was handled seamlessly and very professionally. We were very impressed.

Overall, a very professional and well-organized outfit. Would highly recommend.
