The Pilot was very reassuring and the journey calm. We had a lot of time to take photos and to see the entire area.

The historic Belize City tour offers an interesting insight into the old capital city of Belize. Belize City is the largest city in the Central American region of Belize and was once the capital of former British Honduras until the government was moved to the new capital of Belmopan in 1970. The population of Belize City is 67,964; with neighboring suburbs adding up to about 80,000. Several cruise ships drop anchor outside the port and are tended by local citizens. Belize City was founded (originally as “Belize Town”) in 1638 by British lumber harvesters. It had previously been a small Maya city called Holzuz. Belize Town slowly improved its infrastructure and has been the object of numerous infrastructural projects. Nevertheless, many of the streets built from colonial days are still small and congested, a majority of houses are still susceptible to fire and damage from hurricanes.

Inclusions: All Fees and Taxes

Exclusions: Lunch, Gratuity, Items of personal nature

This was not an excursion neither an adventure. This was just transportation to an island that you have to pay for everything in there. For $45 dollars they get you to an island where the only thing that has is a restaurant/bar with very rude people. A few chairs, no shade. If you want a bed that swings and is covered for the sun it cost. If you want something like a gazebo it cost. This company does not explain sincerely what this excursion was about.

We were staying in San Pedro and all the excursions we saw online were for Jose Tours, so took the water taxi and Jose picked us up from there and made sure we got back in time to take it back over later that day! It’s was nice having a private tour because we really got to talk and connect with Jose! He is a great guy and will go above and beyond to accommodate you and your party. He also took us to a local spot after our tour was over because had some time to kill. He also took us to the airport a couple days later! He’s a reputable guy and we felt very safe with him. He’s part of our family now & we will always use him from now on when we head back to Belize!

Excellent service and a great experience. Joanne was very helpful in setting up our transportation, our tour of the Lamanai Mayan ruins and a snorkeling tour with Carlos Snorkeling Tours on Caye Caulker. Jose was a great tour guide and he ensured that we were at the right places at the right times. We stayed on Caye Caulker and took the ferry to and from Belize City. We enjoyed the tour of the Lamani Mayan Ruins and the boat ride on the New River with Alberto. Alberto did a great job of pointing out wildlife along the river and he was very knowledgeable about the Lamanai Mayan Ruins. The snorkeling tour with Carlos was also great. We had a wonderful time in Belize thanks to Jose Tours.

Everyone should travel to Belize. The tourism industry is back! We came to Belize for a scuba diving trip and went on several land excursions too. Yesterday we had the best tour of Lamanai (the Mayan ruins in northwest Belize). At 8am, Albert Alvarez (from “A Plus Adventures Belize”) picked us up from the Radisson in Belize City and we drove about an hour to pick up Amir Reyes (local tour guide for Lamanai) from Tower Hill Village). From there we drove through the Mennonite community and farmland. Albert and Amir taught us about the variety of cultures found in Belize. Then we passed the small village of Indian Church (population of 236 people). When we arrived in Lamanai, we had the whole place almost to ourselves. Amir gave an excellent cultural and historical tour as we walked through Lamanai. It was great taking pictures of all the Mayan ruins without any other tourists getting in our pictures. Really an amazing experience. After that, we had a delicious lunch at Las Orquideas Restaurant in Indian Church. And on the way back to the hotel we made a quick detour to see trucks filled with sugarcane pulling into the sugar processing plant. Albert and Amir were both very friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic about sharing their knowledge of Belize with us. Overall, it was a great tour and a great day. Everyone should come visit Belize and book a tour through A Plus Adventures. We’ll be returning soon.

Visit one of Belize’s most preserved cave systems with your professional guide who will give vital information along the way. Sightseers and nature lovers will be in awe as the marvel at the relaxing and colorful scenery throughout this four and a half hour tour. Hike the lush Belizean rainforest before tubing through caves dating back to Mayan periods; filled with bright formations that glitter with your headlamps. Take once in a lifetime pictures both in and outside the cave before finishing a float down the open river to the end point. Most travelers accept the option to swim in the crystal clear river after exiting the cave. This is the perfect way too cool off before they enjoy some local rice and beans with stewed chicken, coleslaw and fried plantains.

Inclusions: Helmets, tubes, life jackets, headlamps , Lunch, Air-conditioned vehicle, Fuel surcharge, GST (Goods and Services Tax)

Exclusions: Gratuities, Sunscreen and repellent

Booked for the zipline and rum factory but had the most memorable time at the cave tubing experience. Percy is the Man!! learned so much about Belize from him. Landscape, cultural history etc. The guy is great and you are in great hands when you book with him. Royal Belize Adventures is the way to go. I got what i paid for and then some. Percy drove me around Belize City as an added feature and it was great. Overall a fantastic day with a friendly, accomodating, and cool guide. Whatever activity you wanna do, they got you! thanks again!

We are the first -- and only -- provider of super stretch, 20 passenger, SUV limousines in the country of Belize. When you go on one of Belize's amazing day tours, learn about our culture, visit our fabulous ruins and caves, and explore our wildlife adventures, why do so bouncing around in a circa-1980 panel van with a distracted driver/guide yelling over his shoulder at you? Instead, ride with a professional limo driver dedicated to only one thing -- your safety. Take a deep and meaningful dive into our culture with a top-flight guide, who accompanies you inside the limo, faces you, eye to eye, answering all your questions and catering to all your needs. Breakfast, lunch, spirits, all included. You spend more time getting to these sites than enjoying them, so why not make the transportation part of the experience? It's your vacation, after all. This tour is perfect for groups of 6-16 or so wanting a private experience.

Inclusions: Cave tubing and zip lining equipment, Alcoholic Beverages, Air-conditioned vehicle, Private transportation, Lunch, Breakfast, Soda/Pop, Bottled water

Exclusions: Transportation fees to and from Belize City, where tours depart from, are not included.
