Dennis the goat
My experience in Belize was great, but the review is for Dennis Jr our tour guide. He went above and beyond to make our first time in the country one to remember, and we would love to come back because of it!

Great day of touring!
Dennis was our guide and he was fantastic- so knowledgeable and interesting, and delightful to spend hours with! He picked us up from the dock, and gave us a little tour of the city, introducing us to local history and culture. Then we went out to the ruins, and he made every bit of it fascinating and accessible. He had a great way of explaining through stories and is very personable. I highly recommend him
