Dennis Jr. is the ultimate professional. He is personable, knowledgeable and made it a learning experience. He posed questions, made us think, and sprinkled in plenty of humor. As an educator I appreciated that and his preparation. This tour is must if you want to learn the history of Belize and its people. 🤩🥳📸👍🏾

This was a great experience, for me atleast. The guide, who is the owner's son, drove me around Belize City and took me to the ruins. He told me about the history of Belize, the cultural make up and how people live. At the ruins, he showed me around and explained the historical significance of everything. Everything went as described. I enjoyed it very much and will book again for a different tour.
One of the best tours we've done!

This was by far one of the best tours we've done! Belize city was a stop on our cruise and we knew we wanted to do some Maya Ruins tour. This is one of the closest ruins to the cruise port. Dennis Jr. picked us up from the cruise port and to our surprise it turned out to be a private tour with just my husband and me. Dennis Jr. was incredibly knowledgeable and personable. It was about an hour drive there and an hour drive back so a lot of driving but it was awesome to see the city and Dennis Jr. provided tons of interesting information on Belize City throughout the drive. At the ruins, he gave us a very detailed tour and we got to climb up the majority of the ruins. He took our photos and the private tour was so much better than being in a big group. He even provided us with food recommendations and offered to drop us off at the restaurant. Overall, can't say enough good things about this tour and Dennis Jr. We felt like we made a friend by the end of it and would highly recommend this tour!
Very interesting and worthwhile visit.

Very interesting visit, definitely worthwhile. We visited the Altun Ha Maya Ruins which are around one hour from Belize City. The site is amazing, with excellent views. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the Mayan civilization.
