Smaller and more intimate than popular resort areas such as San Ignacio and Belize City, the modest capital of Belmopan is nonetheless a vibrant city surrounded by stunning scenery and wildlife. Next to the bustling Market Square, Independence Plaza is home to the prime minister's offices, various pedestrian pathways and the National Assembly Building, designed to resemble a Mayan temple. Outside the city lay the spectacular Guancaste Park as well as the astonishing Hummingbird Highway.

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.

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!

Our guide Wilson was so knowledgeable about the various things in the hiking trails and took his time to stop and show us the various plants and even wildlife at the Jaguar Preserve. At the end of the hike we arrived at a beautiful and refreshing waterfall that we enjoyed so much. In the afternoon we had a local maya lunch followed by this culture teaching us how they make delicious savory chocolate directly from the fruit. This was definitely an adventurous day in Belize I will never forget. Definitely a must do tour with Untame Belize from Placencia.

Positive: Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Value My husband and I were in Hopkins for 7 days with my son and his fiancé. We scheduled tours and activities for almost every day we were in Hopkins. Greg was the driver to get us to the tour locations. We never had to wait for him. He was always there when we were ready. He was very knowledgeable about Belize and we often learned more from him than we did on our tours. He went above and beyond for us. We enjoyed our travel time with him as much as we enjoyed our tours. The last night of our trip we did the bioluminescence tour with Medz. OMG! It was amazing. It was obvious that Medz truly loves sharing this experience. It was a privilege to spend time with Greg and Medz. We loved all of the tours we did and Belize will always have a place in our hearts.

My husband and I were in Belize in early March for our honeymoon. We are both the type to research things before we book and were hesitant to book the cave tubing adventure with Ridge and Reef due to lack of reviews. We are so glad we booked, we had an amazing time! The company owner (Leonardo) was very involved making sure every detail went as we wanted it. He checked in with us during the tour to make sure things were good. The company was very accommodating with any and everything we needed (transportation, food, general knowledge of Belize, etc.). Ridge and Reef was very responsive and easy to communicate with. I would book this tour again in a heartbeat and I would definitely use this company again as they have proven they are trustworthy and reliable. The cave tubing tour is a MUST! The cave system we toured is one of the most unique places I have ever seen. It is absolutely beautiful. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and nice. The tour guide grew up in the area going to the cave as a child, so he was able to take us to an additional empty cave (the main cave was full of tourists) in addition to the rest of the cave system where all the tourists are. A tasty lunch of homemade tamales was also provided. If you are on the fence about booking this tour, GO FOR IT. You can always just reach out to the company, based on our experience they will be more than happy to work with you.

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.
