Review of tour done at Caracol in Belize

"Great Experience on 2 Tours.
We had a great experience with Pacz Tours. We did both the Caracol tour and the ATM Cave tour. Our guides were professional, talkative, informative, and all around great people who love Belize and all it has to offer. The lunches provided were exceptional and the level of personal interaction was superior to most other tours I’ve been on!"
