This was such a great tour! They picked us up from the hotel promptly. The drive felt so short to the site because there was lot to see on the way. Our guide was great, he gave us alot of information and led us safetly up the structures. Sometimes slowly because they're definitely tall! The tour in total was roughly 3 hours which gave us alot of time in the day to go see other parts of Belize.

During our recent travels to Belize, we were fortunate to discover Up Close Belize through the hotel we stayed at on our first night. We had a positively wonderful time on the Cave Tubing, Zipline, and Altun Ha Temple tour with our guide, Joel. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the areas we traveled to as part of the tour as well as the many other Belize-related questions we asked him. He was a delight to spend the day with and learn from. Because we had such a positive experience with Joel, we booked our snorkeling trip (to Shark Ray Alley and Hol Chan on Ambergris Caye) as well as the Actun Tunichil Muknal (ATM Cave) with Up Close Belize also. Our guide for the ATM Cave, Auner) was also fantastic. Overall, we were very pleased with the quality of the tours, tour guides, and communication with the company.

My family and I decided to be a tourist in our own country so we booked a private tour with Truly Wild Belize. They were recommended by a friend that had already booked a tour with them. They picked us up in their clean and comfortable private shuttle and we headed out to our first stop, the Mayan ruins. Our tour guide Jason was very knowledgeable about the history of the Maya ruins that we visited. Next we went to a local cacao farm where we had the experience in making our own chocolate. To end the day we made our final stop at a near by waterfall. The water was refreshing and the scenery was amazing. Truly Wild Belize great people and amazing service.

Our tour guide Paul notified us in advance to his arrival. Our Airbnb address was incorrect but he was still able to locate our lodging . Our guide Paul was extremely personable, relatable, knowledgeable about historical and contemporary facts about Belize and provided us with exemplary service and an unforgettable experience. During the drive he pointed out local landmarks, historical sites, answered our endless assortment of questions and brought us up to speed on contemporary matters pertaining to the country. When we arrived at Xuantunich Paul took us to each of structure offering insight as to its significance and purpose. He also assisted us with taking photos and answering any questions that we had on the archaeological site. Cave tubing was extremely fun and Paul ensured that we were safe, having a good time as well as gave us a history lesson on caves in Belize and how they related to the ancient Mayan civilization. After tubing my sister and I enjoyed a beverage we purchased from a local vendor who placed rum, coconut milk, fresh juice and melon into a half pineapple. Paul was kind enough to let us stop at a grocery store within close proximity to our AirBnb. He also provided us with restaurant recommendations and familiarized us with the general area that we stayed in. Private Belize Adventure provided an excellent tour and an overall amazing experience. Please request Paul as he will certainly show you a great time along with educating you.

Me and my friend did a scuba reef trip from Belize city - we went to princess palace reef and J&R wall reef- it was amazing. Enough said- basically an entire tour to ourselves and Karin was able to remind us the basic scuba dive language (neither of us have dived in 5+ years). Let me tell you the sites were unreal! And we also used UpClose for a lamanai tour - this was amazing in itself because it included nearly an hour of boat ride to get to the ruins, which were the most well preserved ruins I’ve ever seen. The boat cruise included manatees, crocodiles, abundance of birds, and a thorough history of mennonites. Loved every bit of it :)
