Amazing adventure - Amazing experience that Im so glad me and my Auntie decided to do. Luis, our tour guide, was great. Very knowledgeable and very professional. I lost my phone in the river and he went out of his way to make sure it was found. He was so nice and helpful. The bugs did eat me up so bring bug spray. Other than that, the lunch was good and we had a great time.

A day well spent. Great tour….Eric was a great guide. - Eric was a great guide. Picked us up right on time. We shared this tour with 9 others so the van was a bit crowded. But we all got along great. Van was a little tired, but the AC worked just well enough. This was not a luxury tour, but it was VERY authentic and seemed like a great was to see the country.
LOTS of driving, but got to see a lot of the country. The ruins were interesting (seriously, bring bug spray) but not an overwhelmingly great experience. Coming from someone who LOVES ancient ruins. Maybe for an archeologist.
The highlight was the tubing. The caves were one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. Lots of formations and beautiful clear cool water. Good equipment. Need a water proof phone case and water shoes, but they rent/sell both.
The lunch was at a small local place with stewed chicken and rice and beans. Very good. Other food avail for purchase.
Lots of opportunities to buy local art, souvenirs etc. Our group wanted to stop at several places (like….. a lot) but Eric accommodated every request to stop for mangoes, beer, toiletries, drinks, beer, tamales etc.
I feel he really went out of his way to be helpful, even suggesting some good restaurants open on a Sunday. Sunday is a good day to take this tour as the crowds were non-existent. It was a LONG full day mostly driving but I feel the value was well worth the cost.

Unique Belize - Our guide was the best! He rearranged our tour a bit to avoid the crowds. We did the tubing first thing and thus had an amazing experience. Floating down the river through the dark caves was a unique experience, made very special because there was no one else on the river at that time (it is usually the second activity). The pyramids were fascinating, though hot. Our guide brought and bought cold water for us and always made sure we had some. He gave us options for lunch and took us to a hole in the wall which was very tasty. It was a private tour at its best.

Best Belizian Start - Let’s cut to the chase, this was a FANTASTIC tour!
It started with our tour guide, Luis, picking us up from our hotel and driving straight to Altun Ha Mayan Ruins. He offered to stop for coffee but we were already so excited to start our day. Luis walked us around the Mayan ruins providing excellent information on the history of Belize and the Mayans. From there he drove us to the cave tubing site where we met our next guide, Junior. Junior, just like Luis, gave us another great tour of the caves while tubing down the rivers. After that, Luis took us to a local bar for a wonderful lunch before dropping us off at our hotel.
I want to emphasize that Luis and Junior exceeded our expectations in every way. Luis was very personable, gave great recommendations, and had cold waters ready to cool us down.

Thanks - Abel was our guide for the day. Our tour was on a Tuesday. It ended up just being our party. We learned a lot about history, plants, animals and culture. Lunch was great. The mayan ruins are not too hard. The walk to the cave is easy. Most people do it in cross.
We were picked up at 7:50. We did not arrive back to our hotel until almost 4pm. It was a great day.
