My parents and I recently visited Belize in Feb 2013 and used River Rat Expeditions for our day trips while in San Ignacio. We had John as our guide for 3 days and did everything from Mayan ruins to canoing through a cave to tubing down a jungle river. John was a great guide for each of these. He is... More

My girlfriend and I did two tours with River Rat. The first, with Gonzo at the Crystal Cave in St. Herman's National Park, was a fantastic caving experience. This was more of a "caver's cave" than ATM, but did include impressive Mayan artifacts and remains. Gonzo proved to us why he is a caving expert, and seemed to be much... More

River Rat Expeditions was a great choice for the ATM Cave (separate review on the cave)!! At first glance all tour operators seem to offer roughly the same type of services, but RRE were the only ones who asked not to use bug spray or sun screen because ATM is environmentally sensitive area. Big points in my book!! RRE also... More

We booked two trips with River Rat on our trip to Belize: cave tubing at Jaguar Paw and ATM--and I'll talk about each separately. I'll also review Jaguar Paw and ATM separately so as not to allow the attraction to bias the review of the tour guides and vice versa. Jaguar Paw--Our guide was Pedro, a really nice San Ignacio...

We booked through River Rat and were so amazed at the guides! Gonzo is a trained archaeologist and gave an amazing tour of ATM cave! I was so amazed at his knowledge of not only the cave, but the country itself and the geology of it as well. He really knew his stuff and there was not a question I... More

We booked ATM cave, cave tubing, and Tikal with River Rats, and we are so happy we did. Our guides were Dora and Gonzo, and in short they were amazing. Warm, genuine, sincere, dedicated, smart, experienced...I can't come up with enough good things to say about them. Even during cave tubing, which I expected to be a silly, throw-away tourist... More

Our family of four did the ATM excursion with Gonzo from River Rat. WOW what a awesome tour! It was definitely the highlight of our trip to Belize! Gonzo asked us if we wanted the toursist or the archaeology tour. We chose the archaeology, and so glad we did. He is very passionate about the Mayan history and is studing... More

We had several wonderful tour guides for a variety of places that we booked through this tour company. Our first full day in the Cayo, River Rats arranged for our transfer to the Guatemalan border to do the Tikal tour. We had a really easy time getting through the border because both our Belizean and Guatemalan drivers took care of... More

We originally booked through another local company who contracted us out to River Rat Expeditions with Gonzo and Carlos and I'm certainly glad they did! Gonzo's love of the outdoors and Mayan history was evident. I loved that we had 2 guides even for our smaller group and safety was a top priority. At the end of our adventure we... More
