We did three private tours with this company: Tikal, cave tubing, and the ATM cave. I highly recommend all these tours! From the beginning, John Paul was very responsive with all my questions.

We did three private tours with this company: Tikal, cave tubing, and the ATM cave. I highly recommend all these tours! From the beginning, John Paul was very responsive with all my questions. I was overwhelmed with how we could fit in everything we wanted to do, as well as how to get from San Ignacio to San Pedro, and John Paul coordinated everything. And when my son was not feeling well one morning, I thought we wouldn't be able to do the ATM caves at all. John Paul made it happen! We were able to fly over from San Pedro and still do this tour a different day, and I'm so happy we didn't miss it. It was well worth the extra travel. All three guides were top notch (the drivers were great too!). We learned so much about the history and culture of Belize along the way. We've traveled all over the world, and this was one of the best trips we've had because of these experiences.Our family group of late 20's couples and parents (50's) did two tours with Cayo Inland (Tikal Private tour and Jaguar Paw Cave Tubing), as well as utilizing their shuttle service from the Belize city airport to San Ignacio and back to the airport once we were done in San Ignacio.

Our family group of late 20's couples and parents (50's) did two tours with Cayo Inland (Tikal Private tour and Jaguar Paw Cave Tubing), as well as utilizing their shuttle service from the Belize city airport to San Ignacio and back to the airport once we were done in San Ignacio. Everything was absolutely incredible. Every little detail was taken care of perfectly and the guides were incredibly knowledgeable and professional throughout. Terry was great with setting everything up and communicating everything to us clearly so that our entire stay in San Ignacio went smoothly. We also stayed at their rental home in San Ignacio which worked very well for 3 adult couples. If you are looking for a great place to stay while in San Ignacio, it has everything you need and is in a great, private, quiet location with an awesome view and pool! She even helped us get into town for dinner one evening and obtained a rum cake to celebrate a birthday for one of our party. It was amazing. For the tours themselves, we did Tikal one day, and the Jaguar Paw cave tubing the following day, and both were incredible. The guides were excellent, both friendly, as well as incredibly knowledgeable and it was easy to tell they enjoyed what they did. Our guide for most of the trips was O'NiI (O'Neal). We couldn't have asked for a more friendly, down to earth person who was full of so much information. By the time we left San Ignacio he felt like family (No Kidding!) We gave each other hugs until the next time. I can't recommend Cayo Inland enough, it really was a great experience in San Ignacio. Five starts for sure!My husband and I had a private Tikal tour with Marielita and it was worth every penny. We had an amazing time. We would highly recommend that everyone who is able take the tour to Tikal. We are thinking of coming back in a few years and spending more time at Tikal, it was that amazing!
