I booked several tours with this tour company while traveling solo in Belize. On this trip especially, they were super nice, accommodating and made me feel cared for while making trek between countries (shuttles, customs, all of it). The tour and our guide Luis were wonderful, and we all loved the lunch at a local spot after. Highly recommend!

Logistics made easy. Fascinating information about the history, architecture, archeological discovery, nature and the environment from our excellent guide Luiz. Howler and spider monkeys spotted in the trees above our heads, as well as Toucans. Fascinating and thrilling to climb the ruins to above the tree canopy and see as far as they eye can see. Truly awe inspiring.
