Wonderful family outing! - What a fantastic time. All nine of us, adults and teens, had a blast! Abel, our guide, was both personable and knowledgeable. He made the trip easy and fun for us. Air-conditioned luxury tour through the Belize countryside. The temple was spectacular as we climbed it to peer over into Guatemala. Lunch was absolutely delicious at an open-air roadside cafe. Cave tubing was incredibly fun. Able and Pablo did all of the hard work while we floated blissfully, enjoying the refreshing river and seeing the beauty of the cave. We were kept refreshed with onboard beverages and saw some interesting wildlife along the way. Couldn't recommend this trip more! Five outa five!

UnBelizeable adventure - This was an unBelizeable adventure that my family will always remember. Abel was so friendly and super knowledgeable. He made us so comfortable and I felt like we got absolutely everything out of this tour that we could have. I wouldn’t hesitate to arrange with them again if we ever come back to Belize, which I sure hope we do.

Nelson is a great tour guide. - I was grateful to have Nelson as our tour guide. His extensive knowledge left me feeling like I took a worthwhile course into the subject of Belize. The scenery was wonderful and Xunantunich is awesome. The cave tubing is a must. Edwin "EZ" is a great cave tour guide.
This was our first private tour. I usually opt for group tours to cut cost. I am now more comfortable spending the extra for private tours.

So amazing!! - Abel was an amazing tour guide. He picked us up right on time, he shared a lot of interesting information about the history of Belize and the Mayans and customized the tour based on what we wanted to see (quick stop for ice cream/eat). We highly recommend booking a tour with Abel and his brother Luis. Thank you for beautiful memories.
We also booked another tour with them tomorrow, because today was so great.

Wonderful day trip - Wonderful trip that exceeded our expectations. The ruins were really nice. Climbing wasn’t too hard and great views from the top. The lunch was fine (don’t expect too much…). The cave tubing was really unique and more fun than we thought. Abel was a great tour guide and took excellent care of us. Definitely a fun day trip.

Such a great full day! - I’m surprised there aren’t more reviews. We had the best day with Nelson as our guide. He picked us up early at Fort George hotel (the ONLY nice hotel I’d recommend in Belize City) and we spent about 8 hours on a fantastic adventure. Nelson is personable, knowledgeable, and funny. He safely drove us to the ruins and pointed out all sorts of interesting things. After our awesome time there, we backtracked to the caves where we had a delicious included lunch before the cave portion. Super fun and a must do! Also felt great in the hot humid belizean weather. I’d wholeheartedly recommend this tour for your time in BC and definitely ask for Nelson!
