We thoroughly enjoyed our hike and waterfalls tour. Our tour guide was on time and well educated on topics concerning the landscape, geography and animals in the zone. Water was provided as well as a meal! Will definitely use Julian transfers & Tours again.

The tour for the jaguar preserve was wonderful. Our tour guide Victor was knowledgeable about the area and history. He was friendly and welcoming, and made sure every step that we were good. I absolutely recommend this for anyone on their trip to Belize and with the many different trials you can always come back to see more.

Tiger Fern is a Must See Tour!— My favorite Tour! Best Transfers and Tours in Belize We booked airport transfers and several tours with Julian Transfers & Tours (plus some with other companies), and overall, nothing compared to the experience we had with Julian Transfers & Tours. Professional Drivers Who Truly Care Everyone was early, professional, and shared incredible local knowledge — like must-try foods (Hudut, Fry Jacks, and Stuffed Fry Jacks) and hidden gems across Belize—genuinely aiming to make your stay unforgettable. Outstanding Communication and Organization Immediate booking confirmations, detailed follow-ups before tours, and helpful reminders (like bringing bug spray, sunblock, bathing suits, towels) — things other companies did not do. They truly help you —I also had a few special requests (like very late and early shuttle transfers for odd flight times), and they were extremely flexible and accommodating. Honest Pricing, No Hidden Fees Transparent prices, no surprise charges for stops or adjustments — making everything easy and stress-free. The Only Company I’ll Book With Again Their service, communication, knowledge, and overall care were unmatched. Can’t imagine booking with anyone else when we return to Belize. You can learn more or reach out at: https://www.belizegroundtransfers.com/ Special Shoutout to Alex: If you're lucky enough to have Alex as your guide, you’re in for an unforgettable experience. Alex didn’t just show us Belize — he made us truly experience it. You can tell he genuinely loves his country and sharing it with others. He is incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and easygoing. Alex made our trip unforgettable — knowledgeable, welcoming, and full of heart. He went above and beyond to create personal, once-in-a-lifetime moments not found on any itinerary. Thanks to him, I got to fulfill my dream of hiking Tiger Fern. Truly an experience I’ll never forget. Highly recommend! https://www.belizegroundtransfers.com/

Oscar was a true native (Mayan) guide. He was very knowledgeable. Our driver Einstein was good as well. It’s unlikely to see big cats but we did see a whole variety of birds. The jungle itself is the star.
Nice tour guide

Julian was very nice. Overall all though the tour was mostly just driving us and walking with us along the hiking trail. We probably could’ve just gone on our own for a similar experience. Also the mud made it not an ideal hike which is probably more a reflection on the time of year. If you want a guide and a ride there this is a reasonable tour.

We had a wonderful experience with Julian Tours, transfers from the bus terminal to Hopkins and Hopkins to Punta Gorda, but the must was the tour to Cockscomb Sanctuary, a wonderful place where we met monkeys and toucan in the forest. We definitly recommand this Agency, they are very professional and kind.

Our guide Alex was fun and knowledgeable. A lot of great insight into the jungle and culture. He certainly went the extra mile to make our tour special.
Good tour guide, he just wasn't in the best shape so he slowed us down allot

It was super enjoyable, our guide was able to show us some parrots and was very knowledgeable about the local wildlife. We enjoyed the hike to the waterfalls and the water was quite beautiful.

This tour was so beautiful! We went hiking in the jungle and hiked up to Ben's bluff for a beautiful view and then went to the waterfall where you could swim and cool off. We stayed in Hopkins and the drive was not very far at all as well. All along the hike, our guide Julian, taught us about the jungle and the ways of the Mayan people too. Jerome was our driver for the day and he was so kind and even took us to get local food for lunch. He was so nice and answered all of our questions throughout too. Then we went and learned how chocolate is grown and then turned into chocolate. This was such a fun and cool learning experience and I had no clue how much goes into the making of chocolate! My friends and I used this company for a couple other tours as well and they were all amazing. The drivers were fun to spend the day with and everywhere you go you get a personalized guide as well. I would highly recommend this company and any tour that interests you with them.
Had an excellent time!

It was a great ride there, and back, and the hike was amazing! They provided plenty of water, and snacks. The guide was very knowledgeable about the plants, and wildlife. The waterfall was the perfect spot to cool off on a hot day.
