Dennis Jr is the best tour guide/educator!

Harris_W, Aug 2025
Dennis Jr. is the ultimate professional. He is personable, knowledgeable and made it a learning experience. He posed questions, made us think, and sprinkled in plenty of humor. As an educator I appreciated that and his preparation. This tour is must if you want to learn the history of Belize and its people. 🤩🥳📸👍🏾

Good experience. Mr. Brown, our tour guide did a great job. We saw the ruins, exactly what the tour described.

This was a great experience, for me atleast. The guide, who is the owner's son, drove me around Belize City and took me to the ruins. He told me about the history of Belize, the cultural make up and how people live. At the ruins, he showed me around and explained the historical significance of everything. Everything went as described. I enjoyed it very much and will book again for a different tour.

Will highly recommend this tour.

What a wonderful time spent with Dennis. He showed us and gave us so much information about the Mayans and his country. He took my friend and me on a tour without other guests as it was a, day we were on the only ship in port. What an honorable gentleman who loves his business of introducing people to the country he loves. Thank you Dennis for makinh our day in Belize memorable.

Dennis Jr was an amazing guide. He was very personable and knowledgeable about the country's history and the Ruins. He even came by my hotel the day before to let me know what time he would be there the next day to pick us up.

Mr. Brown was very knowledgeable, friendly, professional and kind to us as there was a person with a disability and he was very attentive along the way to make sure our trip was unforgettable!

Great day.

We had a really good experience with Dennis. He was so kind and very knowledgeable. He taught us a lot about the ruins.

Take this tour!

Fred is a kind, amazing, and knowledgeable tour guide. He told us all about the cities we drove through, showed us animals and trees along the way, and gave us a detailed tour of the Mayan ruins. We arranged to be picked up and dropped off at our hotel in Belize City. Fred was on time and treated us like family from the very beginning. One person in my party uses a cane to walk and needed a lot of assistance climbing the temple stairs. Fred was right there every step of the way to make sure my friend kept his balance and to help him stand when he decided to scoot down the stairs.

Fun and Educational Experience

Our guide was Dennis and he picked us up from our B&B and drove us to Altun Ha. He taught us a ton about Belize City and the ancient Mayan civilization. We had so much fun visiting the ruins!

Dennis met us at the port, he held a sign with the name of our excursion so that made it really easy to find him. He was very friendly and informative, he told us about the city as were making our way to the Altun Ha ruins. After our excursion he took us to a good hamburger place to eat and drove us back to the port. If you haven't seen this ruin and you are interested in the history of it I would highly recommend using Dennis for this tour.
