A SITE TO SEE - Our tour guide was amazing! The views and being able to claim to the top of one of the ruins was an experience worth experiencing! Cave tubing was nice and refreshing after being in the heat.

Great Tour Company - Attentive and great tour company. We booked a half day snorkel tour and had a great dive guide, Captain Mike, who was highly knowledgeable. We also booked a full day Xunantunich and cave tubing tour and learned a lot about the ancient Mayans. Our final tour was a zip lining and waterfall tour with the owner, Jason, who was very accommodating. If we go back we would definitely use this company again. All pickups were at our hotel

They don’t give much of a... - They don’t give much of a heads up on what you should bring, so I hope they change that in the future. Eberything else was absolutely amazing and worth the cost!!!!! We had a wonderful tour guide.

Incredible all around experience with Truly Wild Belize! - We had an amazing experience with Truly Wild Belize! Beginning with the owner, Jason - he was incredibly responsive, helped provide context to inform our decisions, and was very organized. We were staying in Placencia and decided to do the Xunantunich ruins tour and Cave Tubing and it was a perfect full day excursion for our group of 7. Ricky was an incredible tour guide who was flexible and understanding (we may have been running a little late), and provided great background and history on the region and the Mayan ruin site. We had a delicious lunch and then made it to Cave Tubing. Some people were nervous (there was no need to be!) and Ricky explained everything to expect and was a wonderful guide through the water and caves. Finally, Jason helped arrange an airport transfer for us, and our driver, Robin, was very professional and a wealth of information, helping us learn more about Belize during our drive. I highly recommend Truly Wild Belize!

Amazing experience! - This tour was amazing. Robin was a wonderful tour guide and he was very well educated not only on the history of ancient Mayan culture and history but he was also well versed in botany and wildlife. My 10 and 12 year old daughters thoroughly enjoyed the tour and Robin was great at quizzing and educating them along the way. I would highly recommend this tour and I would absolutely recommend you request Robin to guide you!

Excellent Day Trip and Tour Guide, Highly Recommend! - Our group of 6 friends did the Xunantunich and Cave Tubing combo tour and had an incredible experience! It was a long day with lots of driving, but it was well worth it and our guide Israel was excellent! We were picked up from our house in Placencia first thing in the morning and Israel provided lots of commentary and history around landmarks and Belize overall on our drive out. There was another group doing the same tour on the same day, but rather than squeeze us all into one van, we had our own van which made it essentially a private tour! The van itself was brand new, we were the first ones to ride in it. The tour itself was great - the ruins were a pleasant surprise with how much we enjoyed them. The climb up to the top of the ruins is particularly impressive. The lunch spot was fantastic - the food was delicious and we felt like we got a great "authentic" meal. Cave Tubing was the highlight for sure - after a 25 min walk into the jungle, we got on the river and had an incredible time taking in the cave and the views! Other groups we saw had to carry their own tubes for the 25 min walk - Israel was able to hook it up so the tubes were waiting for us when we got to the entry point so didn't have to carry anything! Israel even had some drinks ready for us in the van after we got out to celebrate the end of an awesome day. I certainly plan to look into other tours with Truly Wild Belize when we hopefully return to Belize again one day!

An Experience You Will Never Forgot - I have been on many guided tours but Israel is by far the most patient, knowledgeable, and thorough guide. He thinks of every detail so you can just relax and enjoy your trip. We started at the Mayan ruins of Xunantunich where we were taught about the various chambers and temples. Even about the local vegetation! We had an excellent lunch which Israel had the foresight to call ahead to diminish our wait time. Then he drove us to a wonderful cave tubing location. I have taken a similar tour and the guide chose the closest cave which was not nearly as beautiful. Israel took the time to make sure our experience was exceptional and chose a further location but boy was it worth it! He took us slowly through the caves allowing our senses to drink in every wonder…it was beautiful. On our drive back he made us rum punch and patiently endured our constant chatter. We thoroughly enjoyed our tor and are so grateful for the family memories we made with the help of this exceptional guide.

Amazing day - Amazing day with our tour guide Wilder. So informative on Mayan culture. Our 8 year old completely everything easily. The stairs on the Mayan temple were steep so if you had a child that won't follow directions, you could stay at the base and not climb to the top. Cave tubing had a minimum height of 40 inches posted. Best day yet.
