"We recently completed a tour of the Cave Branch caves through Jeremy Gordon with #Mayan Caves Branch Tours I had done a Facebook post late 2025 to ask about a tour that would be suitable for us as my wife is not very comfortable in water and has some mobility challenges (we are seniors). Jeremy responded quickly suggesting the Mayan Caves Branch Tour. Once we were in Belize I reached out to Jeremy and booked the tour. He had great communication, dropping us a pin on where to meet (we drove ourselves). David Andrews who was originally to guide us (had to cancel due to having stomach issues) met us at the highway and guided us in. We paid a $10 USD each fee for park entry and met our actual guide Manuel Vivas, who did a great job making us comfortable and providing us a lot of information along the walk to the caves and while floating through them. I would highly recommend this tour if the ATM tour sounds like too much for you and I wouldn't hesitate to use Jeremy’s services again."
