Great way to tour the city. The driver was friendly and knowledgeable about the city. We went to shop and took pictures.
Thanks for sharing. Good to know you had a wonderful time doing our Belize City tour. Don't be a stranger you are always welcome to our beautiful country Belize.
The company they had to take us, which was a party of 6, needs better transportation. The advertisement made it like we were about to get on an air condition bus when it was an old van with wore out seats. It was raining on the day we visited. The driver was knowledgeable about the history of Belize and very polite and kind.
We hope to update our vehicles for our tours in the near future. Even though the van was not brand new, it was clean, air-conditioned, and comfortable. Most of our groups are small, which at times makes our tour personalized and private, which was the case on this occasion. Thanks for taking the time to write this review. We are grateful
our driver, Albert, was very knowledgeable about the history of Belize. We were in a nice van and totally enjoyed the tour..
I'm happy to know that you enjoy your Belize City Tour. As a Belizean who loves my country, it was my pleasure to be able to share our fascinating history. Thanks for your review.
The experience turned out pretty good, we booked at the last minute so it took awhile to get picked up and for the actual tour to start. The actual tour was very informative
Thanks for being patient with us to allow us the time to arrange your tour. Once the notification is received and the tour is possible we will make the effort to get it done. I'm happy to know that your group enjoyed the Belize City tour even though it was on short notice. We are grateful for your comments it is highly appreciated.
Albert was very kind and flexible when our flight was delayed and was there waiting for us at the airport! We thoroughly enjoyed our driving city tour, and loved learning about all the history and cultural traditions! Albert is so knowledgeable! Absolutely would recommend!
I have a passion for my work so I'm committed to ensuring that my clients have the best of Belize whilst in my company. Thank you for sharing your Belize City tour experience. Belize has so much to offer. We have only touched the surface. We look forward to your next trip to our beautiful and unique country.
This is a man made concrete waterhole covered in sand. It is dirty and has limited shade areas. Water gets deep..Might be ok for older kids and heavy partiers (slide shoots you out pretty hard and blow ups) The surrounding ocean water away from waterhole is separated by stacked rocks and the water was murky. Not a beach.
Firstly I most say this review is for a different company that provide the Kukumba beach and Zoo tour. Our service that we provide is the Belize City and Kukumber Beach Shore Excursion. Unfortunately this comment landed on our review page so I'm obligated to respond. It appears the information you receive about the Kukumber beach was not properly explain. Indeed this private beach is a man- made facility design to accommodate visitors in the Belize City area who want a beach experience without having to travel too far outside of the city. Belize City sit at approximately 1 to 3 feet below sea level hence there is no natural beach in this part of the country. The Kukumber beach have been in existence for over a decade and thousand of visitors have been there and have appreciated and enjoy the facility. Some people refer to it as a water park because of all the amenities that are included on the beach such as trampolines slides and swings and thats beside the beach chairs, sheds and bar that compliments the beach. Kukumber beach may not be that ideal beach that you were expecting but is does serve its purpose and thousands of tourist have been enjoying this facility over the years. It's unfortunate that you did not enjoy your beach experience here at Kukumber beach. We are thankful for your review and we intent to better inform our customers as what to expect at the Kukumber beach to avoid another unpleasant experience.
