Mayan tour, city scenery and lunch. - Jose was a great host, showing us the the real views of Belize, the Mayan temple and a great lunch spot! He made our morning very fulfilled before our late afternoon flight, where we didn’t have to worry, and just got to enjoy! He was kind and funny, taking pictures for us and sharing laughs all day.

This private tour was excellent and exactly what we wanted. - "Mr White" (Nelson Blanco) was an excellent tour guide. The private tour was absolutely the right thing for our group as one couple has mobility issues- and so they need extra time and opportunities to rest when walking distances. He worked with us to get us back to our ship in time and we still had a little time to browse the local crafts for sale at the ruins site. Nelson was also very knowledgeable about the history of the ruins and of the Mayan peoples of the area. During our drive, he summarized much for us about modern culture and life in Belize, also answering may questions with ease and professionalism.

Altun Ha Time Well Spent - Jose was friendly and knowledgeable. We enjoyed seeing Altun Ha and the surrounding area. Our lunch at the Roadhouse Diner although simple, was delicious. In car beverages were a treat.

Friendly and well connected guide with tons of expereince! - Jose was an awesome guide—super knowledgeable and really well-connected with the locals. He went above and beyond in communication - keeping in touch well before the trip started, so everything felt well-organized. He is super friendly and willing to help, which I truly appreciate! Belize is so different from other places I’ve visited, so having a local guide like Jose made all the difference when navigating unexpected situations. It's definitely worth it and I'm so glad I made this decision!
The trip itself was a great experience! Belize City has a unique vibe and culture worth checking out, and Altun Ha was super cool—well-maintained and fun to explore. Plus, Jose took some great photos for me, which was a nice bonus!
There was one slightly awkward moment when he asked if I had a boyfriend. It’s a personal question in my culture, but I think he meant it in a friendly way, as that’s probably normal locally. Other than that, Jose was professional and made the whole trip smooth and enjoyable.
Belize in general is a bit more challenging compared to other places I’ve been—things like infrastructure aren’t perfect, prices are higher, and communicating with locals can be tricky at times. This tour was more expensive than similar ones I’ve done in the region, but that seems to be the norm here. Even with those challenges, Jose made the trip so much easier and more enjoyable. Would recommend Jose to everyone looking for a hustle-free and flexible visit here!

Relaxing Tour - Jose was an excellent tour guy. I was satisfied with this tour and thought overall it was worth the price. The lunch was at a small restaurant. The quality and portion size were very good. I enjoyed it. The runs at Altun Ha were nice. Maybe not as grand as I imagined but it was nice to see. The driving tour of Belize City was nice. I felt we had a good overall picture of the city. It was a nice way to spend 3 - 4 hours.

Did not get what we paid for. - We paid extra for what was supposed to be a private tour for the 2 of us. It turned out to be 3 separate couples crammed into a minivan and we had to wait almost an hour for the third couple to arrive even though they were on the same ship that we were on.
