What a fun way to experience Belize. Our guides were very friendly and knowledgeable about their homeland. They were eager to share the information and show what Belize has to offer. We truly enjoyed our tuktuk ride and adventure around Belize. It was unbelizeable!
!Our historical tour of Belize was easily the highlight of our entire trip, and that is almost entirely thanks to our incredible guide, Elijah. His passion for his country’s heritage is absolutely contagious. From the ancient Maya civilizations to colonial history, Elijah didn't just recite facts—he brought the stories to life with so much energy, humor, and depth.He was incredibly professional, patient with all of our questions, and tailored the pace perfectly so we never felt rushed. If you are visiting Belize, do yourself a favor and book this tour. Ask for Elijah—you will leave with a profound appreciation for this beautiful country!
I requested Elijah from the day prior as he was a great guide. We visited the museums and it was wonderful! His explanations of the displays brought them alive and real. Tuk Tuk tours has it right with this guide. Museums are great and I enjoyed every moment.
Even though it was a rainy day, our Belize City History and Museum Tour was a great experience! Our tour guide Ansar was very friendly and knowledgeable and took the time to really educate us and make the tour fun. My family is Belizean and while I’ve been to Belize many times this was my first tour, and with this visit being my kids first time to Belize we couldn’t have picked a better way for them to learn more about their Belizean ancestry. I would highly recommend this tour!
My husband and I did the bar hopping tour. Elijah was an amazing tour guide! Tanisha was great to work with as well to arrange our tour. I would recommend this to anyone visiting the area as a fun way to see the city and visit some great bars! If we had more time during our trip we would have also done the regular city tour as well.
The tour was a lovely one, with a very skilled and friendly operator who took my mother and I first to the Belize sign and lighthouse, then to a museum which had an excellent exhibit on slavery, and then to an art museum. He was knowledgeable and friendly and outgoing and it was a great value overall. It lasted about an hour and a half but could have easily lasted longer had the museums had more exhibits, and included in the time was a great deal of warm conversation.
Had a lovely experience with Elijah seeing Belize City. Also gave me great tips on what to do after and places to eat. Can highly recommend both museums and the Image Factory shop and gallery for art and culture lovers.
It’s was simply terrible , I will not recommend him to anyone.
