Great Tour with Knowledgeable Guide - From start to finish Alfred was an amazing guide. He was very knowledgeable about the site itself as well as things along the way. He answered all of our questions and took an interest in us too. We walked to the top of the temple which was quite steep in places but definitely manageable. It was a wonderful tour that I would recommend to anyone!

Best Experience!! Altun Ha & Tubing - Albert was amazing! He was so knowledgeable about the history and cultures of Belize. We booked him for Altun Ha and for Cave Tubing. Our driver Mark was the best and so was George, the BEST tubing guide. My mother just got over a broken ankle and they were very patient and caring. These guys have over 25 years of experience. Book with them!

The tour guide Mr. Albert... - The tour guide Mr. Albert owner and operator from Adventure Tours was absolutely fantastic! He had such a wealth of knowledge about the history and culture of Belize as well as the Tour site. It was such a rich history lesson. We learned a lot and would absolutely recommend this company to anyone who is interested in the local and historical culture of Belize. He was also so friendly and cordial. Just a great experience all the way around!

We had a truly magical... - We had a truly magical experience at Altun Ha. Our tour guide was knowledgeable, friendly, engaging, and patiently answered all of our questions about the site and Belizean history and culture in general. The van was comfortable, with seat belts and A/C. There was light rain that day that somehow scared off all of the other tourists, so we were literally the only people at the site - it was a real once in a lifetime experience, and I can't recommend the tour highly enough. For folks with mobility challenges, I will add that my elderly mother was with me, and the site was mostly level, dry, and navigable for her, and there are benches around the site if someone needs to sit down for a bit.

Phenomenal Mayan ruin tour! - We had a great time at our tour of the Mayan ruins. Our tour guide Alvarez was excellent! His knowledge of the history of Belize and of the Mayan culture was fascinating. Alvarez was really personable. I highly recommend booking a tour. The Mayan site was unbelievable. A once in a lifetime experience. My wife and I were struck with awe throughout the entire experience. The highlight was climbing one of the actual temples! If you choose the tour, the ride is about an hour and a half. Wear something very comfortable. Definitely bring insect repellent. Belize is extremely hot and humid.

We had an amazing time on... - We had an amazing time on our Altún Ha tour with Albert! It ended up being just us, so it felt like a private tour, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Albert was so knowledgeable and incredibly friendly. On the way to the site, he gave us such interesting history about Belize, and once we got to Altún Ha, he made the ruins come alive with his storytelling and insight! He answered all of our questions, took his time, and made the whole experience fun and memorable. We learned so much and had such a great day. Highly recommend this tour if you’re visiting Belize! Book Albert—you won’t regret it!
