Great Day Trip - They met us at the San Pedro Belize water taxi terminal (we came from Caye Caulker). Enjoyable trip down the New River. Our guide was quick to spot crocodiles along the way. He was through and took time to answer question in our tour of Lamanai. They had us back in Belize City at the ferry terminal in plenty of time to catch the last ferry at 5:30 back to Caye Caulker.

Beautiful experience at Lamani - We are so happy we booked an inland tour with V.i.V tours! We were staying on the island of San Pedro and took the water taxi into Belize City. We were greeted immediately after exiting the water taxi and our driver took us out to the water boat to start our excursion. Our driver, Narciso was so friendly and knowledgeable, the drive out felt like it was a tour itself. The boat ride to Lamani was one of our favorite parts. Diana was an incredible boat driver and made the ride enjoyable. We stopped so see animals along the way. Lamani is a breathtaking Mayan Ruin site with impeccably preserved ruins. We were nearly the only ones on the tour so it felt like we had the place to ourselves. We had a great time seeing and listening to the howler monkeys throughout the ruins. It was a nice break to get to experience such a magnificent place. We would highly recommend taking an inland tour with V.i.V.

Excellent day trip Lamanai! - This was an excellent tour, and our guide, Amir, was so knowledgeable. He was very good with my parents who are in their 70s. He took his time when they needed to rest and the food was absolutely wonderful!

Jump at the chance to step back in time - Despite the hour long drive to/from our starting point in a rather uncomfortable van and an interesting but also very long cruise out and back on the river in an uncomfortable boat, the Mayan Ruins were stunning and awesome. Our guide was delightfully personable, stunningly well-informed about the ruins but also the wild life, flora and fauna. Lots of walking (which we enjoyed despite the heat and humidity). The grilled chicken, ceviche and chips and slaw salad tasted great at the end of our walk.
