Book the Tour! - This tour was amazing, but I have to say, our tour guide, Israel, really took it to the next level. He filled the drive between locations with Belizean history and fun facts, which was pretty much another tour in itself. Israel made sure we were safe and had a great time. I loved the fact that we were able to climb up the Mayan ruins and see where they slept and the functionality of the structure. Crossing the bridge to get to the ruins was also a cool experience. One of the highlights for me during the cave tubing was seeing all the bats! I couldn't recommend this tour more, especially if you get the honor of having Israel as your guide.

Wonderful excursions and even better quides - Did several excursions with Truly Wild. This excursion was with Israel who was excellent and made the entire trip enjoyable. Provided a lot of information about the country during our travel and once we arrived at both destinations he was very well informed and was able to answer any questions asked.

Fantastic tour company with the best excursions and guides! - I highly recommend Truly Wild Belize. We did the following excursions with them: -Airport transfer to and from Belize airport (to Placencia) (Jonathan) -Tubing and Mayan Ruins (Jonathan) -All Day Snorkel Island Tour/Fishing (Luis and Jamie) -Chocolate Making (Robin) The tour guides were all outstanding! They were knowledgable, professional, kind and safety minded. We were a group of nine family members ranging in age from six to seventy five and everyone had a great time! We did the first airport transfer and the tubing and ruins with Jonathan. He went out of his way to make sure everyone was comfortable and having a good time. The caves were so interesting and the float was easy and fun. The ruins were beautiful and he shared a lot of interesting information while on the tours and in the van. The snorkel tour was another highlight for us. Our guides were amazing. Jamie and Luis were fantastic! We caught a Barracuda on the trip out to the islands. They prepared it so we could have it for dinner--it was probably the best sashimi I've ever had. They worked hard to find turtles for us as my daughter loves turtles and raises money to save them. Once they saw the turtles, Luis took her by the hand to get up close (without disturbing them), and he helped her video the encounter. He also helped us see rays and nurse sharks. He taught us about the fish and coral--and the coral was some of the most beautiful and healthy coral I've seen. The island lunch was excellent and I got to have Lion Fish for the first time. It was delicious! We also enjoyed some quiet island time later in the day, relaxing in hammocks, beach combing, and watching the pelicans dive for fish. The chocolate tour was informative and delicious. We did it on our way back from Placencia to Belize City and it was a good thing to do on that kind of day. Of the three excursions, this was one I think we could have skipped if time had been an issue. Overall, our experience with Truly Wild Belize was outstanding and I would absolutely use them again!!!

Beyond excellent!! - An absolute blast with this tour!! Beyond 5 stars! 8 of us were scheduled as a group. Jonathan and Jason were truly fabulous guides. They shared the entire history of Belize on the van ride and made the long trek to the ruins super fun. We had the jaguar caves scheduled and it was flooded so they quickly improvised and got us on another cave tour. We had the entire float through the caves all by ourselves, which was amazing and so full of history and knowledge of the Mayan Culture. Everything throughout the day felt exclusive and just perfect for our group. Out of all the tours we’ve done as a group this has by far been the best experience we’ve had. Thank for making our day so incredible.
