My boyfriend and I had such an amazing time. We were able to ride along the river, see some beautiful sights, and we even saw some monkeys! Our tour guide was so knowledgeable and nice. We later went to Xunantunich with our tour guide, Carla, and we learned so much about the history of these gorgeous ruins. Carla is an amazing guide. We could listen to her talk all day. She's very passionate and will make sure you have a great time!
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a beautiful account of your getaway with us. There is truly something magical about exploring the tranquil riverside trails alongside someone you love, especially when our playful howler monkeys decide to make a special appearance! We are absolutely thrilled that you felt so deeply connected to the breathtaking jungle and rich history of Belize during your time with us. Your incredibly kind words about Carla mean so much to our family here at St. Leonard's Tours. She pours her whole heart into sharing the profound stories of Xunantunich, and it brings her such immense satisfaction to know her passion resonated so deeply with you both. Helping couples create these cherished, unforgettable memories together is exactly why we love what we do. We would be absolutely honoured to welcome you back for another soulful journey whenever your hearts call you to return to Belize
I got the greatest horseback riding experience ever! My tour guide Carla gave us great information about the nature, horse riding and ruins. You can learn so much and see very beautiful views in the tour. Great recommendation
Thank you so much for these kind words—it means a great deal to us at St Leonard’s. We’re so happy Carla could share not just the ride, but the stories, nature, and history that make this place so special. Our hope is always that guests feel relaxed, safe, and deeply connected to the experience, not rushed through it. Knowing the views and time with the horses stayed with you makes our hearts full. Thank you for choosing St Leonard’s and trusting Carla to be part of such a memorable day.
We had a wonderful experience! Our guide, josé was knowledgeable, funny, warm, and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience! He even dropped us off at our shuttle location to ensure we would get there on time!
We had a great time with Jose and Rod with the horseback ride and tour of Mayan ruins. Super informative and had lot of fun interactions. Highly recommend them
Thank you so much for your review. We are so happy you had a great time with Rod and Jose. They are amazing guides who love sharing all about the incredible horses and Mayan ruins with everyone and they are always fun to be around. Thank you once again and we look forward to meeting you again some day.
Wonderful experience for the price! The Wranglers are top notch, extremely knowledgeable. If you have never ridden a horse before, this is the perfect place to start! They match each horse to the person’s size, age, weight and experience. The scenery riding to the ruins is peaceful, beautiful, full of wildlife and easy. Even the owner walked alongside us, the entire time, giving us valuable information about what we were seeing. Once we arrived at the Ruins, we had her as our licensed tour guide. She is Mayan and is extremely knowledgeable about the history and culture of the Mayan people! Highly recommend this tour!
Thank you for writing a review. We really appreciate your kind words and taking your time to leave your feedback. We are so fortunate to have Carla as one of our guides. She does an incredible job caring for everyone and giving a great tour of the Mayan site of Xunantunich. Everyone at St Leonard's works hard to make everyone have the horse that fits them best and we really like that you mentioned this aspect of what we do. Thank you once again and we look forward to having you join us again some day.
This experience was definitely a highlight of our trip to Belize. Carla, our guide was wonderful in showing my kids how to ride and she was ver knowledgeable. She share information about the site in a way that was very relatable to all of us. I highly recommend their services. Carla was able to draw my introverted son out to ask questions and she made my daughter who is not the biggest animal person throughly enjoy the experience.
We're delighted to hear that your experience at St Leonard's was a highlight of your Belize trip! Carla is truly wonderful, and it’s fantastic to know she guided your kids so skillfully in horseback riding while sharing relatable insights about the site. Her ability to connect with your introverted son and turn your daughter into an animal enthusiast speaks volumes about her expertise and warmth. We highly recommend booking with St Leonard's for an unforgettable adventure, and Carla would be thrilled to welcome your family back. Thank you for choosing us!
It was a great experience. We loved the guide, the horses and the trail. Our guide was so friendly and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend it.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you had a great experience with Carla the horses, and the scenic trail from St. Leonard’s. Sharing the beauty and history of Belize on horseback is something we’re truly passionate about. We’d be honored to welcome you back for another ride to Xunantunich anytime!
We had a wonderful experience with St. Leonard's Easy to find. We arrived before the others in our party and were met by Rod and Mark- who spent 20 minutes or so entertaining and informing the four of us in our family (16 year old and 14 year old). They were very kind and we learned a lot. When everyone else arrived, we were given horses commensurate with our abilities, helmets and lots of water! The 8 riders were accompanied by 3 guides- so we were always safe and entertained. Other than me, no one else in my family had experience with horses and my wife was apprehensive. At the end of the tour, my family was so happy with the horses and the experience, way beyond our expectations. The tour at Xunatunich was excellent- Carla was very informative. She took good care of all of us, making sure we were always resupplied with water. We didn't get to see any monkeys- but they had been in the area. I would say, a great ride if you are looking for a safe, easy ride to the ruins. The horses look to be in great shape and are well cared for. Choose a different tour if you are into a bigger riding experience. The Xunatunich tour was excellent.
Thank you for taking time to write such a detailed 5 star review! We are always thrilled to hear that we exceeded our guests expectations!! Carla and Mark and everyone on the St Leonard's team work hard each day to build memorable experiences for everyone and keeping everyone safe is the top priority. Keeping everyone safe also means keeping happy horses who are well fed, watered and groomed!! Happy horses make happy trails and we are so glad you enjoyed the horses as well as Xunantunich. Thank you once again and happy trails!
Excellent experience! Good horses, knowledgeable fun guides. Our kids are 5.5 and 8 yrs old loved it! they provided helmets. Hand cranked ferry was a fun bonus. Highly recommend!
Thank you for your glowing review! We're delighted your family had an amazing time—horseback riding to Xunantunich with knowledgeable guides and the hand-cranked ferry truly makes for a fun and memorable adventure for all ages.
We had the best horse back riding tour with Jose!! I would do it again in a heart beat. A beautiful trail along the river, to a small hand cranked ferry that you get to cross with the horses. And then after a beautiful ride, you get to walk through the Xunantunich ruins! Jose was a great guide on all fronts and had great horsemanship as well. You are in good hands! Highly recommend this tour, it was my favorite!
Thank you so much for your glowing review! We’re thrilled to hear you had such an amazing experience with Jose and our horseback riding tour.
