He took my friend and me on a tour without other guests as it was a, day we were on the only ship in port. What an honorable gentleman who loves his business of introducing people to the country he loves. Thank you Dennis for makinh our day in Belize memorable.

5 Star Service - Dennis Jr was an amazing guide. He was very personable and knowledgeable about the country's history and the Ruins. He even came by my hotel the day before to let me know what time he would be there the next day to pick us up.

Book an adventure with Explore Belize Caves! - Our second time with Dennis’ company. This trip was Zipline Adventure and Atún Ha Mayan ruins. Dennis is great to work with and provides a class A experience. The Zipline runs through the jungle are amazing. Lunch at a local restaurant was delish. Mr Brown (aka Brown Sugar) shared a wealth of information about the Mayan people. Excellent experience this time as was the last. Highly recommend!

Touring with Tom Greenwood and Mingy Martinez - Our visit to Belize was extraordinary and adventurous. We stayed at the Golden Bay Hotel which was safe and fabulous with very helpful and friendly staff. Our tour guides Major Tom Greenwood and his wife Mingy Martinez were kind, respectful and very knowledgeable. Tom and Mingy were like family. They shared with us history about the Maya Ruins and Altun Ha and also ensured we had a great time and experience. Major Tom is truly a "walking encyclopedia". Mingy and Tom also helped us with securing the Caribbean Sprinter the ferry which took us to Caye Caulker were we met Alwin and Lawrence who organized Snorkeling and swimming in the second largest Barrier Reef near the Island of Caye Caulker. We almost missed another exceptional experience if not for the recommendations from Major Tom and Mingy! Cave Tubing and Zip Lining what an awesome experience. Thank you so much for giving us an experience of a life time in Belize.

Solo Traveler required to book/pay for 2. - I am a solo traveler. I was very saddened to find out that this tour company requires a 2 person minimum for booking. As a solo traveler who travels very frequently, I truly enjoy exploration and adventure. I think it is very unfair and inconsiderate to require a 2 person minimum in order to book ANY tour. I should not have to pay double in order to have an experience. Please work on this issue. You should value all tourist/travelers equally. Thanks!
