Johnny Boy & the dad jokes - Jon was amazing! From start to finish he was engaged with us and throughly explaining the history of the country and Mayan culture. His dad jokes added some laughs to the trip. Highly recommend Truly Wild you will not be disappointed!

Incredible Experience! - Our group did a few excursions two weeks ago with Truly Wild. Every person we encountered and every activity we did was spectacular! Kai, Fred, Robin, and Steven were all awesome, but Jonathan was our favorite- he is friendly, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable about all things Belize. I always felt safe with his driving and during the tours. He took my daughter and me to the chocolate factory tour and river tubing through the Cockscomb Wildlife Sanctuary. It was peaceful and I loved the private experience. Jonathan also took my family of four to the Mayan ruins of Xunantinich and cave tubing. There aren't many places where tourists are still permitted to climb the ruins, so standing on top of El Castillo was an extra cool experience. Tubing the caves was phenomenal- I highly recommend doing it if you’re given the opportunity. Jumping off the ledge into 30 feet of frigid water in the cave was something l would never think I would do, yet now it’s one of my favorite memories from the trip. My husband and daughter also did the ATV and waterfall tour and had an amazing time. Overall, I can’t say enough good things about this tour company, its guides, and the experiences you’ll have with them.

Placencia with Truly wild - They were very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Also this is my 3 time to Belize but first time in Placencia. Absolutely loved the area. Small town vibe with super friendly people. We did 3 excursions and van transfer with Truly Wild. Everything went smooth. Highly recommend this company

Beautiful trip! Great guide! - Bets trip, beautiful island, super enthusiastic and knowledgeable tour guides (Johnathan)! The experience was wonderful and we had the best tour guide. We did the private cave tubing and ruins, family of 8. They accommodated my 81 year old mother in law who has a hard time walking… it was so kind. Thank you!

The Amazing Jonathan and Incredible Tour - Jonathan was amazing!! His knowledge of everywhere we went, was so helpful. He was kind and extremely polite, as well as keeping my sister and I laughing. I would recommend this trip and Jonathan to everyone. I thought I knew what to expect, but Jonathan went way above and beyond. I'd go on this tour again if I ever have a chance to visit beautiful Belize again.

Must do while in Palencia - Great way to see and learn about the beautiful country of Belize. Our tour guide, Alejandro, was friendly, funny and so knowledgeable. He balanced stories of his growing up in the area with facts about the Mayan culture. The Cave Tubing was amazing! Thank you for a great day.
