Perfect Mayan Ruins in Jungle

Perfect blend of private transfer, river boat, jungle scenery and Mayan ruins. These were my favorite ruins of five seen in two weeks.

Worth your time and money

This was a great trip. The guides did their best so our group could see the temples without other groups there at the same time. It was more like an 8 hour trip rather than 4 hours as stated in the description. We recommend taking this tour.

Honest

To keep it brief-The company and I had some logistics issues.. As it was New Year’s Day, there seemed to be a few stragglers holding things up. This caused some delays and other problems. So we decided to request a refund. The refund was given. I gave it a 5 star because staff did try to make it happen but it just wouldn’t work for us because of time issues and they honored their side.

Great day trip from Belize city

Ignacio our boat driver and guide through Lamanai and Elvin our driver were both fantastic! Personable, knowledgeable, and entertaining. The drive was fairly long (1.25 hours?) but it was well worth it. The boat ride was really pretty and the tour of Lamanai was educational and very interesting. Lunch was really tasty too.
