Elijah is the best. He is very friendly and knowledgeable. Also great value for the tour compared to the other tax when you land from the cruise, the other one was charging $60 for a huge group.
Kadeem was awesome! Very knowledgeable! Highly recommend this tour!
Elijah was great guide doing our tour. He really gave us detailed information during the visit at the museum (very knowledgeable). Took the time to point out things of the city as we drive through. Thanks again Elijah…
Elijah Herbert is a safe and excellent guide!
We had a fantastic time with Elijah and we learned a lot through his tour. The entire experience I would not trade for another.
Our driver was very informative and kind. He explained everything very well within the museum. We had a great time.
We had an excellent tour with Kadeem. Seeing the city by tuk tuk was easily one of the best and most enjoyable ways to experience it. Kadeem was knowledgeable, personable, and patient. He took his time, shared fascinating historical information, and made sure we had a great experience from start to finish. Highly recommend this tour—and especially Kadeem—to anyone who wants a fun, informative way to see the city.
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.
