Great Last Minute choice (when your cruise excursion cancels on you) - Our Carnival Glory excursion was cancelled due to rough seas so we went ashore (tinder port) and just happened upon Belize Caribbean Tours. They gave us a deal (15% cheaper than Carnival) on the City Tour (about 1 hour) with Beach Time (2 hours). Even when we bought this, we could tell there were VERY conscientious about getting us back to port prior to "last tinder". Our tour guide Phillip is very knowledgeable about Belize City and showed us many places in the city as well as answered all questions about culture, lifestyles, finances and life in general in Belize City. We felt totally safe and encountered no issues at all. Then on to Kukumba Beach - salt water beach right on the ocean but also separated from the ocean by natural rock and a little engineering. Live DJ, food, water slides, large floaties, rope swing, plenty of shaded and unshaded beach chairs - no problem with having your choice. Plenty of bathrooms and changing facilities and showers to rinse the sand off. There is also a historical museum, gift shop (does take cards) and full restaurant (Phillip even ate here). We were returned promptly as promised as had absolutely an enjoyable time. One additional must add comment - I had left my cellphone in the tour van and this company went out of their way to find and will be shipping the phone back to me - big big kudos to Phillip and Tanizia, two of the more important people that work for this company..

Jungle Joe is the best guide !! - Although we booked the baboon sanctuary and didn’t really see / interact with any baboons, our tour guide Jose, others known as “jungle Joe” gave us a day out that we will never forget. He was super knowledgeable and so nice! He stopped at a few places we asked him to (the Belize sign and a shopping store). He was so accommodating and just proud of his country. We drove through the city and jungle Joe was all over the microphone, pointing out so much. It was such a wonderful tour overall. We saw the city, old church and shared many laughs in the car ride! BOOK WITH JUNGLE JOE !!

Fabulous Tour Guide (Dennis the Menace)! - Dennis Hislop Jr. (Dennis the Menace) was such a wonderful tour guide on our recent Belize City Tour!! He was so enthusiastic, fun, and very knowledgeable of the places that he took us to! It was a wonderful excursion because of Dennis!! He was so proud of his country and it showed. He spoke with such exuberance and excitement and made the tour very enjoyable. He answered all our questions and was a delight to be with. I would highly recommend this tour and be sure to ask for Dennis!!

Best Excursion Ever! - We talked with Jason on the pier and decided to tour the city and visit the ruins. "Jungle Jim" was our tour guide and driver of the air conditioned van. His historical knowledge as well as understanding of everyday little things that peek tourist interest was AMAZING! We even stopped at a rum distillery and got a sample! "Jungle Jim" stopped several times for us to make photos of things of interest.. . Such as an iguana on a fence . So happy we talked with Jason at the pier! This was the best excursion we have ever taken. Hope to get to go back to Beleze one day and take another excursion with "Jungle Jim"!

Excellent City Tour! 2 hours for $25 - We walked out of the Cruise Terminal #2 and booked directly with Belize Caribbean Tours. It was a 2 hour tour of the North and South sides of the country - it is not an island as our fabulous tour guide Dennis told us. We also had an opportunity to take a 2 hour excursion to this great beach stop along the way for $10, but opted not to because we already had too much sun the day before. However, our adults kids stayed and LOVED it. We continued on to the rum factory for samples. We purchased a local bottle for $10. We were very pleased with their professionalism and knowledge. It's much cheaper than booking a tour with the cruise ship.

Ehh. Should have skipped - The best part of this excursion was going to a park where a local woman prepared wine, cornbread and candy to try. Otherwise it was a ride through a dirty city on a bus. Our guide was well spoken but there was just not much to see or learn about.
