Our trip to Belize and Guatemala was amazing!

All the logistics were taken care of by the KimKim team and Columbus Guatemala Travel. The entire trip was effortless, and we got to spend all of our time and energy exploring and experiencing the amazing culture, nature, and people of the region. The team just told us when they were picking us up, and everything else was taken care of. Transportation, lodging, entrance fees and national park permits, lunch, everything. Communication from the team was great: we always knew what to expect and we had an easy path for asking questions. The vehicles were new, comfortable, had great AC, and all the drivers were excellent.

All the local guides were wonderful, but one guide truly stood out. Selwin was the best guide I've ever experienced on any trip, anywhere. The Isla de Flores hotel was a local gem! And the ATM Cave tour was spectacular!

Thank you!

Activity Review

ATM cave - Actun Tunichil Muknal

Belize

This tour was spectacular. It combined the fun and thrill of swimming and spelunking, the natural beauty of the cave, and awe inspiring ancient Mayan artifacts. I still can't believe this cave is open to the public, providing access to these ancient artifacts in their original environment.

The transport is good, but be forewarned: the road to the cave is very rough and takes a while. Get comfortable, and enjoy the ac in the van.

Catherina, Esteban and their team did an almost superhuman job of organizing an incredible day trip from San Pedro on Ambergris Caye, Belize, to Guatemala's ancient Maya centers of Uaxactun and Tikal. Knowing that we were staying so far away and that we had only a day, they put together an itinerary that maximized the time we had on the ground by deploying planes, (almost trains), and automobiles...and a helicopter!!! Our chartered plane took us to the Belizean border, we were driven to customs, crossed over on foot, picked up by car and flown by helo to Tikal. Our plane pilot team--Trevor, Constantine, and Duane--were amazing. But best of all was our incredibly knowledgeable and personable guide, David Reyes. Able to speak to Maya history, archaeology, birding, ecotourism, and everything in between, it was a true pleasure to spend an afternoon with him at one of the most extraordinary places on earth. To stand on top of one of Tikal's pyramids and see temples piercing the jungle canopy, accompanied by forest sounds was something I'll never forget. Thank you!!!! It was a dream come true.

The team did an amazing job proposing itineraries based on our interests, timeframes and budget. The trip was incredibly! The guides were very friendly and knowledgable. The accommodations were wonderful.

Matt was helpful and knowledgable. We followed his recommendations and were glad we did! There was one misalignment with what the itinerary said we were getting and what was actually provided - the snorkling day said the following:

"Today we will eat breakfast and then we will go ahead to the Ragamuffin office (Tour operator for snorkeling). They will be in charge to lead you for the rest of the day. The tour will start at the dock, where you will be able to see sharks on the shore that get fed by fish, in the meantime, you will be waiting for your boat to start the adventure on the beach. We will go for 1 hour deep into the beach to try at first our gear for snorkeling and then we will deeper into the coral reef to see the wonders Belize has to offer in tourism. The guides on board will take care of you and will make you pass a great time on the beach with snacks, lunch, and some alcoholic drinks or without. This will be a full-day tour."

However, the tour was a half day group tour with a total of 11 participants and lunch and drinks were not included.

Mayan Mountain Lodge

San Ignacio

The hotel was clean and the property was gorgeous. We enjoyed having our own bungalow. However, the bed was small and the interior was a bit underwhelming.

Property is gorgeous.

A short walk to town, but not in town. Perfect.

Small bed, but loved having our own bungalow.

Tikal Inn

The room was large, with two double beds. The restaurant had a well developed menu and the location - in the national park - was awesome.

Sunrise Tour of Tikal National Park

Belize

We really appreciated visiting Tikal at 4:00 am. There was almost no one in the park. The sunrise on the day we were there didn't amount to much, but it didn't matter. We were at the site for 5.5 h - all of this was fascinating.

Snorkelling day tour at Caye Caulker

Caye Caulker

We enjoyed the snorkelling. The trip include coral reefs, nurse sharks, sting rays and tarpons. We thought the half day was an appropriate amount of time to spend doing the activity. However, our itinerary said the tour would be a private full day event, including snacks, lunch, and some alcoholic drinks or without. This. was not the case. There were 11 participants, which was crowded and congested at times.

We worked with Alex to plan our trip which included tours out of San Ignacio and time in Caye Caulker. When our trip was delayed by a day, Alex was able to move our reservations to accommodate so that we didn't miss out on any of our planned tours. The drivers and tour guides that we had were all great. They arrived on time and were very knowledgeable on the information related to the tours.
