What To Expect
Xunantunich
One of the largest Mayan Cities in the region comparable to Chi Chen Itza and Tikal; from our neighboring countries Mexico and Guatemala. Your guide will ensure that you have the best time ever spent at a ceremonial Mayan City by sharing interesting factual information and also showing you the main and major highlights. For those who are brave enough, your guide can take you to the top of "El Castillo." This temple is the tallest man-made structure in Belize. It's so tall you can see directly across the Belizean-Guatemalan border and into a nearby farming community.
Nohoch Che'en Caves Branch Archaeological Reserve
Our professional guides will take you through the pristine cave systems; pointing out interesting formations and information along the way. Life vests, tubes, helmets and headlamps will be provided for maximum safety and a guaranteed fun experience. This portion of the tour will last approximately 2.5 hours

5.00Wonderful experience cave tubing and visiting Mayan ruins. Our guide, Jeff, was extremely helpful and taught us a lot about the history of the region. Truly, the cave tubing is magical and I would recommend it to anyone, even young children. There is a hike that crosses the river three times before you get to where you are tubing. We saw a 5 yr old manage the hike and the crossing with her dad no problem. My teenagers loved it! It is a long drive from Placencia to and from but it is a comfortable ride and a great way to learn from the guides. Highly recommend!
Well worth it!

5.00Percy and Jeff were both very passionate and proud about their country and it was evident throughout our entire experience with them. It started with a very puntual pick up, followed by an informative and cultural ride to the different activities. It felt like Percy ad Jeff were family, as they made sure we were comfortable, safe, and most importantly, having fun! I would definitely recommend this tour company again and if I ever visit Belize again; I know exactly who I'm calling.

5.00The driver for the tour (Percy) was excellent. He was very accommodating and informed about the scenery, wildlife, vegetation, towns/villages, history, and culture during our ride. He arranged for us to have excellent tour guides at the Mayan ruins and the cave tubing. The ruins were amazing. Crossing 3 rivers before getting on the tube to go through the caves was too much for me (I am a weak swimmer, the third river was not calm). Our guide Eddie rescued the experience by allowing us to walk to the entrance of the cave. It took about 20 minutes but it enabled me to enjoy tubing for the first time. Once on the tube, Eddie did all the work and me and my husband just relaxed and enjoyed the ride and the amazing.cave.

5.00Percy and Kenyon from Royal Belizean Adventures were great. They picked us up at our rental house for a private tour of Xanantunich. They handed us to a guide who did a wonderful job explaining some of the history of the Mayans, the excavation of the ruins and more. Our traditional lunch of chicken and rice was very good. We also enjoyed tubing through a cave on a refreshing river and learned about the Mayan’s use of the cave. It is a wonderful day of exploring and learning!

1.00Was told to be in the lobby of our hotel at 6:50 for pick up. No one ever came to pick us up. Called the #provided numerous time. Finally at 9:00 someone answered. Said they didn’t see the reservation until we called. We means they never looked. Could not accommodate us. We did have numerous confirmations from Viator.
10 Star Tour!

5.00I do not know where to start so I'll just keep it short. This tour exceeded my expectations and I was left truly happy and glad I ended up choosing to do this for my wife and I anniversary. The ruins were so fulfilling and beautiful; especially when we climbed El Castillo and looked over into Guatemala. The caves were also thrilling and beautiful with plenty different colours for your eyes to marvel. All in all I give this tour 10 stars and recommend it to anybody that wants some adventure from Placencia.
Time Well Spent!

5.00We are here during slow season and weren’t sure about how a private tour would be and then…we met Percy. He picked us up at Cozy Corner in Placencia and set the precedent by welcoming us with a professional heart warming personality that treated us like old friends versus tourist. He combined this with intriguing conversation which shared and listened. He gave us thorough best practices to make the most of our trip. There are so many great moments from the initial pick up to the Ruins, the delicious lunch and let’s certainly not forget the cave tubing! He handed us over to Eddie who greeted us with an infectious smile and a continuously jolly spirit. They take pride in their country and love their jobs. This is proven through the safety and care of the treatment we received. We will recommend this tour to everyone we know coming to Belize. Thank you Viator for providing us the ability to schedule the tour and thank you to Percy and Eddie for completing time well spent in Belize!
Great combo
