Tarique was fantastic! We... - Tarique was fantastic! We had a tight timeline as our cruise ship shortened our time in port. He made sure we got to both locations and back to our ship on time. Tarique was very knowledgeable and shared the area, history and local plants and animals we encountered along the way. We really enjoyed our tour!

Fantastic private tour- cave-tubing and Mayan ruins - Cruise port 2-person private tour. Couldn’t ask for a better driver/tubing guide/ historian than Abel! Great walk in the rainforest to the river/ cave system. Incredible tubing in the caves!!! Delicious local lunch, and then off to see the Mayan temple sites. Several local markets along to way to get souvenirs. Abel made sure we got back in plenty of time for cruise departure. All entrance fees and lunch included. Booked directly with Jose Tours Belize. Easy to communicate with ahead of time. Private tour is the way to go to avoid the crowds! Ask for Abel!!!

Amazing Tour! - We had an excellent tour! We were visiting as part of the cruise ship and got back in plenty of time to catch the tender boat back. Our guide, Charles was very knowledgeable and shared tons of captivating insight about Belize from prehistoric times to modern days. We loved the cave tubing, it was both fun and incredible experience! The private tour allowed us to get everywhere efficiently and without the crowds. We were also able to rent water shoes and phone water-protective case at the site. We had a nice walk through the rainforest, as Charles pointed out different plants and wildlife. The tubes were waiting for us near the cave entrance, so we did not have to carry them much. Charles did all the navigation in the cave, explaining different shapes and other details. We really enjoyed the cave and river tubing, it was truly amazing! The lunch after was much welcomed and delicious!! Altun Ha Mayan Ruin was very interesting and we got to climb the tallest. We were there without the crowds and the place felt magical! This was by far one of the best experiences we’ve had in our many travels! We would highly recommend this tour and Charles as the guide!!

Great day - What a great day! Jose took fantastic care of our day! The tubing is great, definitely bring water shoes and be prepared to walk a pretty good distance carrying a tube. It’s worth it though!

Fantastic tour and tour guide, Eric! - This was a GREAT tour. Our guide, Eric, was fantastic! The cave tubing was a lot of fun, and the Mayan ruins were beautiful. Eric even coaxed a beautiful little tarantula out of it's hole in the ground. We even got the chance to meet Jose, the owner of the company. If at all possible, it would be amazing to have both Eric and Jose on the tour. Jose is hilarious and quite a character! Don't tour Belize without them.

Awesome tour with Eric from Jose Tours - Belize is beautiful. Eric from Jose Tours was a fantastic tour guide. The cave tubing was awesome. Eric gave us great insight to the Mayan ruins as well. I can't say enough good things about Eric and this tour. We were on a cruise ship and only had so much time to spend on this excursion. Because you have to take a boat tender from ship to shore, we were quite late for our excursion. Jose and Eric were so understanding and know all of this beforehand. They were so accommodating and made sure we got to experience everything within the time we had. If you tour Belize, look nowhere else but Jose Tours and ask for Eric or Jose himself. You will not be disappointed unless you are grumpy and don't have personality.

Great experience to the ruins and cave tubing - We were so glad we did the private tour through Jose Tours. Eric was our tour guide and he was awesome, knowledgeable and funny. He took good care of us. Strongly recommend booking, and ask for Eric!

Great tour and guide. Highly recommend. - This was a very relaxing tour led by Nelson, our very knowledgeable guide. We were picked up at our hotel, took the drive to Altun Ha. Nelson explained just enough about the site and the civilization/what the Mayans did at this site. We only spent about an hour (perfect). Have to call out - best souvenirs to date! Then we headed to the cave tubing. My husband is sun-sensitive so tubing in a cave fit perfectly. Again, a very informative but relaxing tour/day. Highly recommend.

Cool sights while being hustled. - Felt like we were being hustled the entire trip. Hearing how sick our tour guides son was with a multi hour focus on the cost of treatment. Doesn’t Belize have free healthcare? As a doctor myself I could tell the story was a lie. Then when it was mentioned I’m a veterinarian I was questioned as to why I didn’t bring free flea prevention. Pretty tasteless.

Our tour guide ripped us off!! - Our tour guide scammed us. We had some down time between two of the excursions (Altun Ha Maya Ruin and Cave Tubing Adventure) so he recommended to show me and my family the Belize zoo. He was very friendly, hospitable and knowledgeable about the culture. At the end of the day when he dropped us off at the airport we gave him a VERY handsome tip. Then he said we still owed him for the zoo. We asked how much was the cost (the tip was so 'handsome' we thought that would cover the costs) and he told us it was $60 each and $50 for my 10-year son. But he dismissed the fee for my son. We thought that was odd and yet still very expensive for a zoo tour but we didn't argue and so we paid him $180 for the 3 adults. The next day while in San Pedro, Belize we decided to look up the entry cost for the Belize Zoo and turns out it was only $20 per adult and $10 for children. We called him and he denied any wrong doing. We then contacted Viator to resolve this issue but they simply dug in and sided with the tour guide. We will NEVER schedule another excursion with Viator (and we travel a lot).
