Afternoon tour was fantastic
Kristen_S, May 2023
This tour was fantastic. Our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable. Even the city tour had so much history and depth that I'm thankful we got to experience it. This was by far my favorite tour that we had. We went in the afternoon tour and we had the ruins to ourselves since tourists are typically from cruise lines and take the morning tours.
Unforgettable experience.
Kelly_R, Mar 2023
The afternoon tour was incredible! Nobody else was there & our tour guide was the best! Norman was knowledgeable about everything in the Mayan city. He answered every question & took his time showing us around & teaching us about the Mayan culture. Being at Altun Ha during the sunset was unforgettable! I would definitely go back or tour other ruins with Norman

Hi Kelly,
We thank you for taking the time to write this review. We have selected the best Guides to be a part of our team and Norman is one of them. You are so right. The afternoon tour is always a good option as sometimes it is only you, the guide and the entire park for yourself. It was our pleasure to have you on tour with us. We do hope that you enjoyed your vacation and that you share your experiences and photos with your friends and family. We do hope to see you again soon where we can explore a bit more.
Kind regards,
Omar
Omar made our day!
Karel_G, Jan 2023
Omar our tour guide was amazing. So friendly and very informative. We chatted non stop about everything! The tour of Belize City was excellent. We made a few stops to try local food etc. On to Altun Ha which was a fabulous site. Omar is well versed in explainIng so many details about the site. It was wonderful.
We really enjoyed his company!

House Hunters or City Tour????
Tasha_T, Jan 2023
I could not figure out if I was on International house hunters or a city tour!?!?!? Waste of money as we drove around the neighborhoods letting us know about who was living in homes and what homes were just built. It was very depressing. I didn’t learn anything about the city just very disappointed.
The Altun Ha Mayan Ruin tour was the only best part.
Response from Host, Jan 2023
Hi Tasha,
We are very sorry that you didn't enoy the City tour. Please note that this Altun Ha tour came with a free basic City tour driving out out of the city and then the other portion coming back into the city. I believed you should have choosen only the City tour where you would have gotten an in depth history of Belize City. All of our tour guides are very knowledgeable and they educate all of our guests about what they are seeing while on tour.
Omar as a guide is worth it!!!!!
SMITTY_S, Dec 2022
The tour with Omar was excellent. The individualist attention was very nice. The background on the area we visited was nice.
The mini-bus that was too small, eventually.........
Janet_M, Nov 2022
Awful. The boss said we had to wait for nearly an hour, without seating, in heat and humidity for one couple to arrive. 4 extra passengers (not on the original list?) arrived first at the mini bus somehow & filled 2 of the bench seats. There were still 10 more of us to fit in, including a lady with a stroller (booked). That was an impossibility! When this was mentioned to our 'guide', he became angry with us ... None of this was our fault as we had been waiting quietly until half the bus was suddenly filled! The atmosphere was toxic so we left . We would like a full refund as our day was totally ruined through no fault of ours
Response from Host, Jan 2023
Hi Janet,
We thank you for your review and we do apologies for the experience you had encountered. However, from the start of the day when we had spoken to your husband and explained to him that we had to wait for some other guests that had booked the same tour, he had an attitude and also with our Tour Guide. Your hasband was the only one that had and issue and was disrespecting our tourguide which we do not tolerate. You and uour family decided not to go on the tour and you all left. Therefore no refund will be granted to you.
Omar is the best tour...
Tarassa_H, Aug 2022
Omar is the best tour guide that we ever had! I would highly recommend him for any excursion in Belize.

Tour Guide is the best. Ask for him!
Eve_B, June 2022
Our tour guide was so knowledgeable. He thoroughly explained everything. He took our pictures and I took a picture with a baby crocodile. I would definitely recommend. Had a sign with my name on it. And shout out to Marcia for being patient with us!!!!
