5.00Victor was an excellent guide. He's so knowledgable about Mayan history and culture and clearly takes pride in his country and heritage. We had a delicious lunch. He made sure everyone was safe, happy and having a great time the whole day. Highly recommend going with him if you can!! Only downside was it was a lot of driving time to get around Belize. Plan on a long day.

5.00We had an incredible experience with Victor and truly felt like VIPs from start to finish. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly accommodating. Along the drive, he shared fascinating information about the areas we passed, as well as insightful details about both the ruins and the cave. We enjoyed a fantastic lunch at Xiblaba’s Teaky Tavern, which was a perfect stop. Victor also took amazing photos throughout the day and shared them with us via WhatsApp. We would absolutely do this excursion again and highly recommend it.
