A fun & great experience - This tour was great! It was very nice to see the Mayan Ruins; and the cave tubing at Jaguar Paw was an awesome, new experience! The driver & guides were great & helpful. Be aware that half of the tour length will be driving. I would recommend!

Fun experience with a large group - Overall, this was a really wonderful experience for our group of 9. The ruins were breathtaking and it was great to have a guide tell us about the history a bit. I wish we had more time to explore and learn more, but we had a lot to pack into the day. The place we stopped for lunch was delicious, and they accommodated our vegetarian group members. The cave tubing was by far the highlight of the day - our guides were absolutely incredible, and you could tell they had such a passion for the beautiful caves, river, and surrounding forest. It was a lot for one day, especially with a long drive coming from Placencia and having a larger group, but I would still highly recommend this tour to see some Belize history and natural wonders.

Mayan Ruins and tubing - Excellent experience - friendly drivers with great sense of humor, very experience and safe driving manners, considering that it was pouring rain during the whole trip to/from Hopkins, we've learned some tips about local culture. On our way back, our driver kindly agreed to stop by the local farm to taste local ice cream and yogurt - it was delicious! Thank you very much!

Julian Tours - Wonderful experience, from the ease of booking, to the on time pickup, the wealth of information that our driver, Kalim, gave us on the way to the destinations. Kalim was very friendly, gave us a great ride where we learned a lot about Belize, the agriculture, the history and more. He even stopped for a moment so that we could all see the toucan perched in a tree. He went the extra mile for us, and we all appreciated him a great deal. The tour of the ruins was phenomenal, from the ferry ride across the river to the wonderful guide that we had there. Do not miss this one, it's not the largest Mayan site but it is impressive. You can feel the history as you go through. The view from the top of the temple is a not to miss. Cave tubing, what an adventure. It is about a 20-minute walk to get to the cave, but the jungle is so beautiful and our guide there was also a great wealth of information. The cave is stunning, the cenote is impressive and we all felt very safe with our wonderful guide. (Did I mention the huge tarantula on the path? It was a gorgeous spider.) I would not hesitate to book with Julian tours again, we do hope to get back to the Hopkins area again.) The Spargo bunch

Great Tour and Guides!!!!! - Even though we had to pivot since the roads around Xunantunich were closed, we went to a nearby ruins, Cahal Pech, and then did the expected cave tubing. Kaleem was our driver and Julian partnered with two awsome guides at each location. All three were enjoyable and provided a wealth of knowledge. Even though we were in the van driving for several hours due to the location of our resort, we took advantage of enjoying the views and passing communities and could always ask Kaleem questions. He also took us to a good lunch spot (which was included) between the two locations. Highly recommend using Julian. Very responsive and good to deal with.

Best day of our trip thanks to Julian Transfers and Tours! - We hired Julian Transfers and Tours for our trip from Hopkins to the ruins and cave tubing. Caleb was friggin' amazing! He was timely and well connected for the best tour guides for both places. The van was comfortable and never short on water. Caleb was a delight to talk to about the Belize culture and we truly enjoyed our day thanks to him. The complimentary lunch in San Ignacio was spot on for local culinary flavor and absolutely delicious.

Excellent service and tours! - Julian arranged several tours for us and all of them were excellent! He had great communication and was super easy to work with. All of our guides were prompt, friendly and knowledgeable! Our driver, Jerome, got us around safely and comfortably and answered all of our questions about Belize. Our island hopping and bioluminescent tours with Steven Bowen were both amazing! He took us to some beautiful islands and the snorkeling was unforgettable. He was very patient and helpful with our first time snorkeler. I would highly recommend contacting Julian for your transfers and tours.

A fantastic, informative way to see and learn about Belize! - This was such a fun day! The ruins are amazing - the view from the top is unparalleled! Cave tubing was a truly unique experience and a welcome cool opportunity after a warm hike in the ruins. Guides for both the ruins and cave tubing were excellent - informative about Belize in general, as well as the specific tour we were on. Julian's had the day planned out perfectly, including lunch and cool water in the van after each excursion.
