An amazing trip and a memorable experience! - Ruwa helped me and my husband plan a 7-day Belize trip and they did an amazing job from start to finish. They customized the entire package for us and took care of everything, including a beachfront hotel and all our transportation/shuttles. The attention to detail really showed. We never had to worry about anything, everything just flowed. We had such a great time in Belize! We loved being immersed in the culture, trying local foods (like delicious pupusas!), and exploring beautiful sights. The highlight of our trip was definitely the ATM cave tour. It was one of the most unique things we have ever done. I loved the mix of hiking through the jungle and swimming into the cave. Seeing the ancient artifacts still in place and learning about the Maya culture made it feel like stepping into another world. Our guide, Akim, was very knowledgable and explained a lot about the history that made the experience all the more interesting and special. Phones weren't allowed at the ATM cave but the team shared some pictures with us after. Throughout the trip, our coordinator Maya stayed in touch with us and was so friendly and quick to respond. She checked in on us, helped with any questions we had, and made sure everything was running smoothly. I would definitely recommend Ruwa Travels and we already plan on using them again for our next visit to Belize.

Absolutely incredible... - Absolutely incredible experience! Our guide, Akim, was both knowledgeable and a lot of fun. We loved learning about the history of the Mayan culture and the cave offerings, but the real thrill was the adventure itself — swimming through cave waters, crossing rivers, climbing rocks, and squeezing through tight passages. Truly unforgettable! The only downside, understandably, is that phones aren’t allowed — so you can’t capture the adventure on camera.

Unforgettable adventure with an amazing guide! - Had an amazing day! I would recommend this tour to everyone. Our guide James was so kind, knowledgeable, and passionate about the Maya cave system. He took plenty of time to tell us about the ideology, geology, and archaeology. We learned a lot, which really helped us understand what we were looking at. There were a few challenging parts, but everything was very doable. Truly an adventure!

Unforgettable Experience – The Highlight of Our Travels! - We travel a lot, but the ATM Cave tour was truly one of the best experiences we’ve ever had. The cave itself is absolutely fascinating, but what made it truly exceptional was our guide, Gissell. She was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and passionate about the history and preservation of the site. Her clear instructions and thoughtful guidance made us feel completely safe and allowed us to fully enjoy the adventure. If you’re in Belize, don’t miss this tour — and if you can, ask for Gissell. She made this experience absolutely perfect.
