This trip was very good I enjoyed a private quiet visit to the site. Of course comfortable shoes a must and hydrate, our driver was very patient and knowledgeable, he brought the story telling to life.
We are pleased to know that you had a wonderful time doing the Altun Ha Mayan site tour with us. We do offer bottled water on the tour, as we know how warm it can get on-site. Thanks for taking the time to share. We are grateful
Nice informative trip, no issues bring a fmt(fat man towel)!! The stairs are brutal but nice trip all together hopefully have a good driver....smh
It's the peak of the dry season this time of year, hence the Mayan site could be warmer than usual. The climb to the top of the temples could be a little challenging, but it's worth the hike. The view from on top is breathtaking. We are happy for your commentary. Don't be a stranger, there is so much more great adventure you can do in Belize
We had a fantastic afternoon visiting Altun Ha. Our guide was very flexible (we needed to change our start time), had a great relaxed demeanor, and was extremely knowledgeable about Altun Ha and the surrounding countryside. Would highly recommend!
Thanks for your vote of confidence and your recommendation. We are highly appreciative. We are very flexible with our guests, where possible, to ensure they have the best experience doing our tours. We look forward to your next visit to enjoy more of the great adventure Belize has to offer.
The tour guide was extremely friendly and knowledgeable! It was a pleasure to have the conversation opportunity to share this experience with his guidance. The view at Altun Ha was amazing, a wonderful experience.
It was our pleasure to have been a part of your Belize experience. Thanks for sharing
Albert was an excellent tour guide. Fortunately, my husband and I were the only people who signed up for this day, and we had a private tour. Albert was knowledgeable about the history of Belize, particularly regarding Altun Ha. As we drove to our destination, he explained the surroundings (plants, shopping centers, communities past and present). I recommend this tour and our tour guide, Albert.
We try to cover all the bases as we understand that our guests would like to know as much of our jewel, Belize, as possible. For the most part, our tours are private, even though we get a few small groups doing it together. Thanks for your vote of confidence and for sharing your Belize experience. We are grateful.
Our guide, Mark, was absolutely phenomenal. He shared lots of historical information about the town as we drove through. He took us through The ruins and shared so much information, he’s a wealth of knowledge! On the way back, at our request, we stopped at a local restaurant and had delicious local food (not included the trip price) and we were back in plenty of time to board our ship.
We only work with the most reliable and experienced tour guides in the tourism industry. Once requested, we don't have any problem stopping to allow the purchase of Belizean cuisine at the local restaurant after the tour. Thanks for your review. We look forward to your next visit
A relaxing tone as expected to revelry and enjoy the sea and warmth of people
Belize is known for its friendly people. We are happy that we met your expectations. Thanks for your kind words. Its appreciated
Jeff was knowledgeable and hilarious. We had a great time at the ruins, he let us go through the museum at our pace, then gave us a great overview of the site before letting us explore as much as we'd like. Full of facts the whole ride (there and back). He didn't have any issue stopping to get snacks at a local shop and letting the kids eat in the van. Some review for Belize tours had complaints about broken down vans and adding other groups to private tours, we did not have an issue with either. The van wasn't new, but it was clean and taken car of. We left promptly after meeting up outside the terminal.
We only work with experienced and licensed tour guides for our tour. We take pride in the service we offer to our clients, so we not only try to meet but to exceed your expectations. We are flexible when on our tour and would accommodate requests for stops for picture-taking and food or snacks at a local restaurant. We only operate fully air-conditioned, clean, and comfortable vehicles in good condition. Thanks for your kind words.
