We have had a wonderful day exploring Caracol, the Rio Frio cave and a refreshing swimming stop at the river/small falls in the afternoon. Our guide Kisha was super friendly and accommodating our special wishes like an additional stop at a viewpoint. Mario before was very responsive and pricing is fair. Don't hesitate to book with him!

Mario Castellanos arranged our hiking guide, Jason, to show us through the Noj Kaax Meen Elijio Panti Park. Jason was a pleasure to hike with. He has a great sense of humour and adventure and was super passionate about the park with its beautiful natural provisions.
The hike was 14 miles and it was, at times, challenging, however, Jason was patient and accommodating. It was truly a beautiful day filled with lasting memories and vistas of waterfalls, lush jungle and beautiful sounds. Highly recommend it!

Now doing business as M&S Adventure and Archaeology. As a solo traveller it can be hard to get on tours on the dates you have available. I reached out to Mario and he arranged visits to Caracol, ATM and Barton Creek three days running. Mario guided the Caracol tour and his knowledge and passion for Mayan history and architecture was readily apparent. His brother Renan guided ATM and as one of the first to guide the cave, he too had a wealth of knowledge to share. Even though I was the only client for Barton Creek, Mario made it happen by combining some training with an aspiring guide. He took us deep into the cave system past some very low overheads for a great adventure. I highly recommend Mario and his colleagues for personalized professional services.

Mario was our host for the 24 hours we spent on the mainland of Belize and he helped us make the most of it. He picked us up at the airport, dropped us at our hotel in San Ignacio, then picked us up for a nighttime jungle tour. It was just two of us, so we were delighted that his wife Channel came along for the jungle tour because she was fun to hang out with.
It was an all in the family affair because the next morning, Mario picked us up, then we picked up his brother Renan so we could do the ATM cave tour. Renan is AWESOME SO GREAT AND WONDERFUL. It was, again, just the two of us as we hiked, swam, scooted, climbed through the cave. My friend has a fear of heights, which led to a few tense moments as we navigated the cave. Renan has the patience of a saint. Our cave tour was really magnificent, and we made it out alive!
Both Mario and Renan are Mayan, and proud, which made our tours so much more enlightening and interesting.
The drive from the airport to San Ignacio, where we were staying is about 2 hours, and Mario filled the time with stories about Belize and the Mayan people and history. He patiently answered all my ignorant gringo questions, and the drive was actually a highlight of the trip.
After the cave tour, we had a pleasant picnic that Channel had made for us (with a special vegetarian version for me)
After the jam packed 24 hours, Mario got us back to Belize City to catch the water taxi.
All this for only $510 (for both of us,not for each). Just amazing.

We did a 2 day trek and overnight camping trip with Mario and Antonio. The trip was superb. We trekked through the jungle in the Elijio Panti National Park where Antonio taught us the basics of how to survive in the jungle while Mario identified loads of different birds for us.
We camped by a beautiful waterfall where we had chicken cooked over a fire and went swimming in the pools.
The next day we visited an incredible cave system which the Mayans had used for ceremonial purposes. We were the only ones there, it was amazing.
Antonio and Mario were superb.
I can't recommend this trip enough. Book it now.
(But make sure you take enough water as we ran out on the way back and prepare yourself for walking in the heat!)

We arranged several tours with Mario to fill some of our time in San Ignacio. We chose his company based off other reviews as we enjoy the knowledge tour guides offer but don't want to feel like cattle being herded through an activity. All our tours were very personal and had their own unique spin compared to the more commercialized tour operations. While Mario is very knowledgeable he isn't afraid to access other local guides to provide you the best experience possible. Additionally, all prices were more competitive for a smaller group which was a great plus. We learned an amazing amount and would highly recommend Mario and his company to any other visitors!

We are independent travelers and generally don't hire guides, but it made sense to do so for the trip to Caracol... and we feel really fortunate to have gone with Mario. He's thoughtful, well-read, extremely interesting and knowledgeable about Mayan culture, and he presents an inclusive, fascinating, nuanced view of the culture as it developed over time. Mario has clearly spent years studying Mayan language, art, architecture, and archeology, and the way he tells a story is exceptionally thorough and engaging. Mario also times the visit at Caracol so that other groups have already passed through and you essentially have the site to yourself, which leads to a wonderful experience. We learned a lot and found the tour one of the highlights of our trip to Belize. Mario is also considerate and kind, which is nice when you're spending the whole day together.
In addition to Caracol, our tour included a LONG drive to and from the site (no other way to get there), lunch at the site prepared in advance by Mario's wife, a stop at Rio Frio cave on the way, and a visit to Rio on Pools to swim at the end of the day. Rio on Pools is a real gem, a beautiful natural series of waterfalls, swimming holes, and slick granite waterslides to cool off when it's about a million degrees in the afternoon. Definitely bring a bathing suit and plan on a dip-- it's a great way to end a really great day.
Would highly recommend any trip with Mario, especially one that involves learning about Mayan history and culture.

My friend and I spent two days in San Ignacio. Mario picked us up at the airport (waiting for us when our flights were delayed due to weather) and drove us to our hotel. He also arranged two tours: for our first tour, a visit to Xunantunich and a jungle pontoon ride, he walked us from our hotel in the morning to the tour pick-up location. For our ATM tour, he drove us to the caves and back, patiently stopping as we got out of the car to take pictures along the way. He also arranged our shuttle to Guatemala for the final morning. Mario was great at answering all our questions before our arrival - prompt and detailed. He was well informed about the history and political landscape of the area and we learned a lot from him in our conversations on our various drives, which was an unexpected bonus of using his services to arrange our shuttles and tours. I highly recommend getting in touch with Mario to arrange transportation and/or tours in San Ignacio.

The company were very prompt with email replies, and called us the evening before to help with any questions that we may have had prior to the next afternoon's arrival. The driver was on time to pick us up. The vehicle was clean, and driver was quite knowledgeable about any questions we had about the country of Belize. We were enjoying the drive and information so much, we never realized we were there till we had to disembark. Once at the reserve, we were fed a delicious home-made lunch. Next came the actual adventure. Our guide for the ATM cave tour, was the owner's brother. Prior to him telling us his background and experience, one knew that we were in very competent hands. Renaan, our guide, was very patient with a couple of people in our group who had some slight hesitation due to the nature of the surroundings (water, rock, constrictions and at times some climbs). Renaan, helped everyone get through any fears they may have had. Once at the various historic/sacred sites, Renaan's approach to explaining the areas, really made us appreciate how fortunate we were to be able to experience this magical place. HIghly recommend if you are in Belize. You will be doing two short but steep climbs, where at the top you will be on our your knees prior to standing. The sister in law had knee surgery 8 weeks prior to the ATM cave tour, and was able to slowly perform the climb/walk/swim.
Kin Winik Tours were as mentioned, very accommodating and we'd highly recommend them to anyone who asks.

I generally only use tour guides when I have to, and to get to Caracol, I essentially had to. I couldn't have been luckier in my selection. Mario was outstanding. He was extremely well-read on Mayan history and was able to answer questions from the very academic to the practical and immediate, and he made the site come alive for everyone in our small group. This was easily the best experience I've had with an all-day tour (and guide), and I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone.
