Albert is a top-notch tour guide - exceptionally knowledgeable about the history of Altun Ha as well as the history of Belize, the Garifuna culture and able to answer whatever questions we came up with. He’s patient, funny, fun to be around and just an all-round good guy! ❤️
A great private tour.

We were easily met at the port and led to our van for the ride. We met Jeff who was a wealth of information and very nice. The drive to Altun Ha was interesting. It was nice to see the diversity of the area. Jeff was very informative about the culture. When we reached the site Jeff met us again after we toured the museum and led us to the ruins. The tour was exactly what we hoped it would be. Since we weren't with large group we were able to explore the ruins with someone with local knowledge. Highly Recommend

We booked our tour at literally the last minute, which I feel contributed to our challenges. Our driver/guide, Wayne, was superb and a source of not only great and interesting information, but also real life insights we can all learn from. If we were only evaluating him and not the total experience we would give 5 stars to this tour. Downsides: - Viator's app under pickup points does NOT include the water taxi terminal for cruise ships. We included that info on the notes. We were picked up at the terminal - My wife was using a motorized scooter. That was also noted in our comments, but we weren't able to take it with us. If it weren't for the last minute booking, we might have been able to resolve that in advance. - We went anyway. It was too late to cancel. On arriving, my wife tried walking to the museum and wore herself out and was in a lot of pain. To make matters worse there were no suitable places for her to sit in the museum. Having some sort of wheel chair rental at the museum works would have been wonderful in addition to chairs/benches in the museum which would also have made a HUGE difference. Adding insult to injury it started raining buckets. Wayne tried to do some of his information sharing in the museum, but I was too concerned for my Honey. We finally got her back to the van and Wayne looked after her, while I did a Very quick look at the ruins. Under different circumstances viewing them with a knowledgeable guide like Wayne would have been a super treat. I don't think you can go wrong with A Plus Tours

From start to finish Alfred was an amazing guide. He was very knowledgeable about the site itself as well as things along the way. He answered all of our questions and took an interest in us too. We walked to the top of the temple which was quite steep in places but definitely manageable. It was a wonderful tour that I would recommend to anyone!

Albert was amazing! He was so knowledgeable about the history and cultures of Belize. We booked him for Altun Ha and for Cave Tubing. Our driver Mark was the best and so was George, the BEST tubing guide. My mother just got over a broken ankle and they were very patient and caring. These guys have over 25 years of experience. Book with them!

The tour guide Mr. Albert owner and operator from Adventure Tours was absolutely fantastic! He had such a wealth of knowledge about the history and culture of Belize as well as the Tour site. It was such a rich history lesson. We learned a lot and would absolutely recommend this company to anyone who is interested in the local and historical culture of Belize. He was also so friendly and cordial. Just a great experience all the way around! The Livingston’s

We had a truly magical experience at Altun Ha. Our tour guide was knowledgeable, friendly, engaging, and patiently answered all of our questions about the site and Belizean history and culture in general. The van was comfortable, with seat belts and A/C. There was light rain that day that somehow scared off all of the other tourists, so we were literally the only people at the site - it was a real once in a lifetime experience, and I can't recommend the tour highly enough. For folks with mobility challenges, I will add that my elderly mother was with me, and the site was mostly level, dry, and navigable for her, and there are benches around the site if someone needs to sit down for a bit.
Phenomenal Mayan ruin tour!

We had a great time at our tour of the Mayan ruins. Our tour guide Alvarez was excellent! His knowledge of the history of Belize and of the Mayan culture was fascinating. Alvarez was really personable. I highly recommend booking a tour. The Mayan site was unbelievable. A once in a lifetime experience. My wife and I were struck with awe throughout the entire experience. The highlight was climbing one of the actual temples! If you choose the tour, the ride is about an hour and a half. Wear something very comfortable. Definitely bring insect repellent. Belize is extremely hot and humid.
Amazing company and guide
