Belizean Culture and Food At Its Best

5.00This tour with Percy was top notch! The food, the atmosphere, the service. It was all second to none. We missed our water taxi and so we had to start later than expected, he was flexible and accommodating, communicated well before and during the tour, he was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed every minute. We made multiple stops at authentic places and we felt immersed in Belizean culture. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking for something special and a great way to experience a true Belizean adventure.

5.00Our tour guide was Percy and he showed us all of that parts of Belize and took us to some really cool spots. He was very knowledgeable about the city and he was very friendly. Would definitely recommend this excursion to visitors/tourist.

3.00The tour was nice . The food for breakfast was delicious . I would like to have lunch included for the price . We decide to skip lunch as we were full but were told that lunch was on us . The rum tour was given by our tour guide and not someone from the actual rum distillery ….our tour Guide was great and knowledgeable however the people in the distillery couldn’t be bothered
Misses in coordination and overall underwhelming

2.00We really wanted to like this experience, but it was all in all underwhelming. The tour company had a different start time to our tour than what was sent in our Viator confirmation email, and they ended up arriving late to the pick-up stop even for their intended start time. The guide was also apparently double booked, so we had a guide sub in for us from a different tour company. We stopped at a total of 5 food locations - a taquito-type stall, a fruit stand, a bakery, a market, and a distillery. The fruit was tasty (loved the fresh coconut), and the market was interesting, but the other stops for food did not feel truly unique or stand out to us in terms of flavor or experience. The most interesting part of the tour was actually the sub-in driver and the drive through town. Our sub-guide did a great job describing the history and sharing a lot of cultural information about the city itself, and we felt we got to know Belize City a lot better than if we had done another excursion. Our actual intended guide, who swapped in after the distillery unfortunately ended up repeating a lot of what the sub-guide shared. We really wanted to like this excursion, but due to the misses in coordination and overall underwhelming food experience, we cannot recommend this tour.
A must tour!!

5.00What a blast. From the historical facts, fresh fruit stop, bakery in the middle of a neighborhood, best “Mexican” chicken tacos I’ve ever tried to the local rum distillery tour…⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Percy was very informative and super friendly!!

3.00Underwhelming especially for the price. We sat around for an hour waiting to leave, some passengers had been under the impression they were taking a solo tour that started at 10 instead of a group tour that started at 9. Nice guide though!
Excellent city tour and food experience

5.00Jeff was the best part of the tour. Very informational - took us to some amazing local spots for fabulous food. Highly recommend ! The van for the 8 of us was comfortable and Jeff provided cold water upon arrival. He was patient with elderly parents and made my mom feel special.
Experience the REAL Belize!

5.00Our family had a wonderful time on this tour. Jeff will show you the real Belize. If you are interested in learning about the history, culture, economy, and of course, food of this beautiful island, this is the tour to take. Everything we ate was delicious. This tour takes you where the locals eat, as they eat. If you are looking for a luxury or commercial tourist experience, I would not recommend it. However, If you want to be shown the island by someone who knows what he's talking about-- you will appreciate this tour. It was valuable for my children to observe working people living their daily lives. We were also inspired by the work of Jeff and others to provide opportunity and economic mobility for the people of Belize.
