Fun day and fun fun tour with Julian - We had a cruise trip stopped in Belize City. The tour met our schedule so we booked it. However the ship was delayed due to the docking issue. We messaged the guide Julian, he responded right away and told us not to worry, that he would wait for us. We felt so relieved. Julian is a great communicator, culture and environmental knowledgeable, he was not only the guide, but also the safe driver and captain of the boat for us. We had delicious lunch offered and had a fun day with Julian. Highly appreciated and highly recommended for the tour to everyone!

Lovely trip of temples and wildlife - This was a good trip and a great opportunity to see a bit of Belize if staying in Belize City. The pick up was great from the hotel and after an hour or so drive we reached the boat. The river trip was brilliant, they were so keen for us to see the various birds, crocodiles and turtles. Once at the temples we saw numerous monkeys. The boat only had limited cover so protection from the sun or rain is needed (it was very sunny on the way there and then it rained a lot the last 10 minutes of the trip and we got very wet). Whilst at the temples beware there are mosquitos, and a lot of them. Take bug spray, I got bitten a lot, but I wouldn’t let this put you off of all the experiences of this trip. On the river trip we also passed a Mennonite community which was great to see. The lunch provided was lovely. I recommend this trip - it’s a great way to see wildlife, mennonites and obviously the temples!

Great Jungle/Ruins Tour - The Lamanai ruins in the middle of the jungle is a must see and this tour made it possible to enjoy them in a day. Everything worked out without a glitch, we even caught our flight out to San Pedro at 4:40 PM. Our guide, Julien Avila, was knowledgeable and funny without being obnoxious. He never tired of answering our many questions. The Avila family runs this business and everyone in the family pitches in. Julien's mother prepared a wonderful lunch for the group to enjoy at the ruins. His boat captain skills are second to none and he always took the time to stop for interesting animals along the way. We highly recommend this tour and company.

A wonderful and memorable day - My husband and I had a wonderful experience from start to finish. Elio picked us up from the airport as planned. He was charming and answered all of our questions about the people and country. Nate was our boat and tour guide. He was interesting, funny and very well informed. Elio got us safely to a wonderful hotel that he recommended when our accommodations didn’t work out. The whole day was such a memorable experience thanks to these guys!

The guys to go with! - Elio was excellent communication for booking the night before, offered many local suggestions to explore on our own. Javier was an excellent guide. A very fun and informative day. We were lucky to have the facility nearly to ourselves and saw a lot of monkeys and even a red bracket deer. The lunch was amazing. (Made by their mom). And by far the best rice and beans we've had in Belize.

Elio is the person you are looking for to be your guide !!! He is the Best ever had - Elio fue un guía increíble. Nos pasó a buscar al hotel y desde el primer momento nos explicó cada rincón de la ciudad con mucha paciencia y simpatía, hasta dejarnos en el bote con nuestro guía Coconut Peter. Durante el recorrido pudimos ver algunos animales, conocer los templos y disfrutar de todo el entorno. Recomiendo llevar repelente de mosquitos y estar preparado por si aparece algo de lluvia. ¡Recomiendo a Elio para todo! Siempre pregunten por él — habla español e inglés perfectamente. Díganle que van de parte de la chilena loca 😄 Elio was an amazing guide! He picked us up from the hotel and explained every corner of the city with great patience and enthusiasm, all the way until he dropped us off at the boat with our guide Coconut Peter. We saw some animals, visited temples, and really enjoyed the whole experience. I recommend bringing mosquito repellent and being ready in case it rains. Highly recommend Elio for everything! Always ask for him — he speaks both Spanish and English fluently. Tell him you’re coming from the crazy Chilean 😄
