Carla is that woman - We did the farm ride and it was perfect for beginners and intermediate riders. The hike to see the Mayans ruins was hell but I would have rather do it on foot than go by horseback… THE VIEW WAS WORTH IT!

Unforgettable experience! - We had an amazing experience overall to say the least. First, due to floods in the area, the Xunantunich ruins were closed, we were offered couple of options by the St. Leonard’s Tours, including a refund. We went with alternative tour in another Mayan ruins in the area as well as horseback ride. Second, overall tour was very well organized. Third, the tour organizers were responsive and accommodating, they found an option for us to do the later tour, as we were arriving to Belize too late to start 7:30 am regular tour. Last but not least, our guide Jose was attentive, knowledgable and very funny. Really recommended, we had so much fun! Thank you, St. Leonard’s tours for such a memorable day!

Horseback to Xunantunich - Booked a horse back tour to Xunantunich with St Leonard's Tours beginning of May. We had 5, 'sort of', done this before horse riders. Jose' was the lead and fitted us extremely well to our horses and their demeanor. They walked; we rode. They pointed out sights along our route to the ferry and then the site. They gave us a little history, stories of the animals, trees and birds. Once at the sight, similar info was given, what had occurred here, how it came to be in the condition now etc. Jose' had a working knowledge, not just a memorized scrip to follow. He was able to answer more probing questions too. All in all a highlight of our Belize trip. Jose' and his group were fun, entertaining and we highly recommend this tour.

Great way to see Xunantunich and the countryside - We had a great time on this trip and would absolutely recommend it to all levels of riders! We were one intermediate and two novice riders that had no troubles on the ride. The horses were well trained. Our guide was very knowlegeable of the area with personal experiences to relate and did a great job guiding us on the hour and a half ride from the stables then down along the river and up to Xunantunich. It was a beautiful ride through the jungle along the river where we saw iguanas and spider monkeys and tasted allspice leaves. The tour was personalble and small which allowed for nice conversations. If you like horses this tour is a great way to see Mayan ruins.

Amazing experience of Xunantunich - The horseback riding tour to Xunantunich was an incredible experience! Carla, Miguel and Mark are great guides that picked out each horse for our group based on our experience & comfort with riding and created the perfect pairing all around. I felt perfectly safe in their hands and felt even more confident to ride despite having minimal prior experience. The horses are well mannered and well looked after. The pick up and drop off to my accom was also super convenient and the guides are very knowledgeable about the Xunantunich ruins, and safely guide you up the climb to the top of El Castillo pyramid with cool water bottles always at the ready throughout the tour. It was such a highlight of my trip. I cannot recommend them enough!

Favorite Part of Our Trip to Belize - The day with Carla, Rod and Miguel was our favorite day of our Belize adventure. My husband, and 3 year old daughter met them at their stables for a private horse ride through their farm/ jungle along the river. We were introduced to Belizian history, taught about the flora and fauna. Our 3 year old LOVES horses and Miguel was so wonderful with her. We then transitioned to a tour of Xunitunich with Carla. We learned so much about the Mayans at our pace with no pressure. Carla even introduced us to stingless bees! Carla and Rod have children of their own and were perfect with our 3 year old and helping to make sure we all has a wonderful time. St Leonard’s horses appeared very cared for and our favorite am Appaloosa! Thank you for spending the day with us and making our trip so special.

Horse riding to Mayan ruins - We loved this outing! Carla was so knowledgeable about the area and was patient with us as we did not have much experience with horses. The area was beautiful, the horses were well trained and the Mayan ruins were quiet and impressive. We couldn’t have asked for a better time.
