Percy, our driver, gave us a great feel for the people and country of Belize. He was very informative.
Our tour guide, Javier, gave a wonderful explanation of the temples, the mythology and theories behind them and the Mayan people. The personal touch for the entire trip was great. Thank you.

Did this excursion as part of our cruise on Carnival Paradise last week. If you are doing it as part of a cruise, be prepared, as it is a very long day...but worth it. First you take a 20 minute tender ride from the ship to shore, where there are plenty of shops, which you will get to look around in while you wait. Then you get on a bus for 2 hr and 15 minute ride. During the ride, your guides will talk about all things Belize. We had Dora and Jr., and they were very friendly and knowledgeable. When we got to the ruins entrance, there are locals there with a few roadside shops and water (2 for $5). Next, you climb on a hand cranked ferry for a short ride across the river. Then, a minivan will take you the mile up the hill to the actual entrance to the ruins. Then it is an uphill climb where you finally get to the actual site! Jr gave a very informative talk about the history. You are allowed to climb the ruins if you wish. My husband and sons climbed about 2/3 of the way up. They said the view was amazing! We were there about 45 minutes-1 hour. Then back on the bus to Hodes restaurant for lunch. Nice outdoor/indoor restaurant. We had Chicken made with Recado Seasoning, Macaroni Salad made with salad cream, and Beans and Rice. Soda, iced tea and water are included. Full bar if you want for an extra cost. Like I said before.... long day, but if it is on your bucket list (like my husband), it is worth it. Our adult sons loved it as well. Even our 26 year old, who didn't seem thrilled about going, said it was amazing! As for me, it was not something that was on my bucket list, but it was really cool that I got to see it.

The private tour was money well spent! Our driver Percy was awesome and very knowledgeable. Arrived early and waited for us to finush our breakfast at the hotel. He shared some information and history of the island as we made our way to the ruins. Our guide through the ruins was Eder who was so friendly and patient with us as it was such a hot day and we werent used to hiking in the tropical climate. The lunch included was good as well. Overall it was a great time and we enjoyed ourselves.
