I was communicating with Linda a few days before my scheduled tour because of the weather. She was able to accommodate me and allowed me to change my tour date since I was a party of one. I am extremely appreciative and I had a great time on the tour. I would recommend this to anyone!

Xunantunich & Cave Tubing Day Trip from San Ignacio

Ellen_M, Apr 2026

Best guide EVER

Omg this was so great! Angel was the PERFECT guide: he took his time, showing us things that other guides rushed past. There was a member of our group who struggled with balance so he was always there to hold her hand and help her across certain spots. Finally, he was so well informed: we learned so much about Mayan history as well as modern day Belize. We can't recommend him enough..

For what it is, it's good

Doesn't seem like there is an overwhelming amount of activities here to do, maybe there is and I don't know about them. But for what this one does, and what you get, and I like the guide and driver, same person but entertaining. So yeah, I think it was good

Cave Tubing and Zipline Adventure From San Pedro

Michelle_W, Apr 2026

What a fantastic tour!...

What a fantastic tour! Zip lining was so fun and the guides are very skilled. They’re fun. They are so personable. Victor and William are absolutely the best. I highly recommend ! The second part of this tour with floating under the cave was breathtaking and again our guides of navigators Norman was phenomenal.!!!

Tikal Day Trip with Local Lunch from San Ignacio

Karin_N, Apr 2026

Tikal in April from San Ignacio

The tour started in San Ignacio our driver was very nice and walked us through the border and customs section in Belize. Prior to separating he pointed out our Guatemalan tour guide from a distance. Once through customs and border checks our Guatemalan guide Levi walked us through the same process on the Guatemala side. Once we arrived at Tikal Levi was very knowledgeable and his passion for the history of the site made the almost 6 mile walk with almost 71 flights of stairs seem less intense. The trip was amazing to see both uncovered and still yet covered historical structures. Our guide also walked us through the area where celebrations and cultural Matan events are still held to this day. The provided meal was phenomenal after so much walking.

Guided Lamanai Mayan Ruins Belize Tours with Lunch

Uzo_N, Mar 2026

A fantastic day at Lamanai Mayan ruins m

This was altogether a great tour; from the car ride from the hotel to get on the boat; the boat ride to the Lamanai site; the tour of the mayan ruins and the lunch afterwards; everything was done in a very professional manner. The driver and the boat operator/guide were very knowledgeable and engagingly. The mayan ruins were fascinating and well worth the visit. The lunch provided was very delicious. All told, this was a very good experience and I highly recommend it.

Friendly and efficient ride!

Our driver was on time and the ride was comfortable and quick! It was so nice to have this planned ahead of time so we didn't have to worry about getting a taxi the morning we check out to head to the airport. The driver was friendly and helpful. Highly recommend for a ride to/ from the airport.

ashley_m, Nov 2025

Un-Belize-able Day

The un-Belize-able Edgar was our tour guide and he is the most knowledgeable and just best guide ever! He knew all sorts of great things about the ruins, the culture, animals, the country it was just such an informative and learning day! Best money spent the entire trip. And the restaurant he took us to Benny's Kitchen was the best food.

Day Trip to Tikal Maya Ruins Including Lunch

Puja_S, Sep 2025

Seamless transition from...

Seamless transition from pick up to drop off in Guatemala to head to Tikal. Tikal itself was amazing. Probably the best Mayan ruins I’ve ever seen. It’s incredible how you can climb a bunch of the structures to this day. I loved seeing temples above the trees from the tops of other temples or pyramids.

Cave Tubing, Small Group Trips with V.i.V.

Matt_W, Aug 2025

We all really enjoyed...

We all really enjoyed cave tubing. Wasn't too sure what to expect, but so glad we did it. It's about an hour's drive from the cruise port. The walk through the rainforest and gentle trip through the caves on our tubes with helpful and knowledgeable guides was amazing and unlike anything else we experienced during our cruise. Highly recommended.

Guided Altun Ha Ruins, Rum factory & Belize sign from Belize City

Kimberly_M, Jul 2025

Take this tour with Percy!

Percy was an amazing guide! He took the time to explain the history of Altun Ha and the country of Belize as well. The ruins themselves are impressive and you can feel the history of the site. The Belize sign was just a great photo opportunity! And the Travelers Rum Factory was a good time, plus interesting to see the bottle production through the viewing window. We did pay extra to add ziplining to our tour, but this was amazing. The guides Manuel and Wilfredo (Fred) were fun patient with us 2 scared ladies. Again, Percy was awesome and it was a fantastic tour!
