Lamantai tours are well worth the money and time. - Out guide was also our driver. He was extremely knowledgeable about the countryside we drove through as well as the archeological sites. The boat trip was fast and exciting. Saw a large number of birds and other animals.

Mayan site Lamanai visit - The pick-up driver Ivar at our B@B in Belize City was very experienced and had a lot of knowledge. The boat ride and Lamanai tour guide Amir was excellent and the lunch food from his wife a Belizean highlight of our trip. nothing to complaint about at all!

Best river tour - This tour was fantastic. Coconut Pete was incredibly informative and very passionate about his work. I think he must have X-ray vision cause he spot every animal from tiny bats to crocodiles to howler monkeys from a mile away! Would highly recommend this tour.

Massive disappointment - I’m so sick of these companies only catering to larger groups. I’m a solo traveler and I had 5 days in Belize City with my main goal being to see the Mayan ruins. Most of the companies here have 2 person limits. I found 3 or 4 who were willing to let a single traveler book. EVERY SINGLE DAY my tours would cancel on me at the very last minute (between 4am and 6am) without explanation (not weather related) and giving me no time to look for anything else. This particular company canceled on me twice. Both at the last minute. Though they did explain why the second time. Supposedly other people who had signed up canceled. So the company canceled on me. I contacted them and asked them to reconsider, any other options available etc, so that I could see Lamanai—the only reason I stayed in Belize City—and was ignored. This is completely ridiculous and unacceptable.

No notification of cancellation - very poor communication - EXPECT A FULL REFUND - The trip was cancelled, we weren't notified. We had to pursue them to find out. We expect a full refund. We had to figure out on our own how to do a tour. Fortunately, we were able to do so. Very disappointed that no one called us to let us know what was going on. Thanks to some very nice Belizean people, they helped us to have a great experience.
