Albert made this tour so...

Najiyah_W, Apr 2024

Albert made this tour so interesting! He was very personable and professional. We learned a lot and we even got to try fresh cashew fruit! Would recommend.

Mark is awesome!

Kathryn_L, Apr 2024

Mark was an awesome guide! We learned a lot about Belize and enjoyed some local food. He is very knowledgeable about Belize.

Just WOW

Gabrianna_M, Apr 2024

Mark and the guide he provided for us did such an amazing job. So knowledgeable and funny! This experience was above my expectations. Also from picking an evening time, we were able to miss all the cruise ship people and have the whole place to ourselves! 10/10 would book again.

Altun Ha was a breath-taking Mayan Site!

Josh_A, Mar 2024

Less crowded than other Mayan ruin sites and not to far from port for a cruise excursion. In fact, this was our second excursion on the same day. The site itself was breath-taking and our tour guide was excellent as well, providing context and background for the site as well as the Mayan people.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Thanks for sharing. We also monitor the busy days at these Mayan sites and try to visit with our guests when there are not many people there. Altun Ha Mayan site is the ideal site to visit for guests coming by cruise ship as this site is the nearest to Belize City. We look forward to your next visit to Belize.

Excellent tour

10/10 Would Recommend !

Raelyn_D, Mar 2024

I went on this tour with a group of 5 and we had an amazing time. Albert, our tour guide, easily located our group in Belize city. On the drive to the site, Albert shared so much information about Belize. The site itself was beautiful! The sun was at its peak so sunscreen is definitely needed. I would definitely recommend this excursion to more people. We had a great time as a group.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Thanks for your very high score and your review. We also cater to groups who want to tour the country together. It's tropical here in Belize so our weather is nice and warm for the most part. There are so many adventures that you could enjoy with us. I hope this won't be your last time in Belize. You all are always invited. Don't be a stranger

Impressive cultural

Ibrahim_H, Feb 2024

Seeing the Mayan cultural was interesting for me as a descendant of the Egyptian Pharoahs. The guide was knowledgeable about history and links between old civilizations.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

It is believed that the Mayan Civilization was so advanced that it was compared to the Egyptian civilization. I'm pleased that you could have made the trip to do the Altun Ha tour with us and you could have recognized the comparison. Your review is highly appreciated. We look forward to your next visit.

This was a really informative and fun tour! We didn’t have much time in the city, so this was our one stop and we definitely learned a lot about the site as well as Belize.

A Warm Welcome

Marissa_A, Dec 2023

I was not having good luck securing another tour, so I tried this one. We lucked out with Mark! He took my mom and I on a great tour of Altun Ha and since it was our first full day in Belize, we also got a great overview from him!

Awesome Tour Guide
