I took this tour solo and had the pleasure of being guided by the amazing Edgar. After a 7am pickup, we drove about three hours inland and spent two hours exploring the temple grounds and pyramid, followed by a relaxing drive back with a stop at a stunning blue hole. Edgar's knowledge was impressive, both during the temple tour and the drive. I had a fantastic experience and would suggest it to anyone. For those with a sensitive stomach, I recommend choosing the vegetarian lunch option.
Edgar was exceptional. His extensive knowledge of the area's history, culture, and archaeology greatly enriched the experience. He infused our long travel day with energy and fun, making it memorable. Edgar truly ranks among the finest tour guides I have encountered.
The history at Xunantunich is fascinating and impressive. Our guide provided us with a wealth of information. The Inland Blue Hole was a refreshing delight on such a warm day.
Edgar was very engaging, knowledgeable, and flexible. His background in forensic archeology and family ties to Mayan archaeology provided a unique insight. He even went the extra mile to look for mangoes and included another Mayan site in our tour.
Edgar was a fantastic guide whose extensive knowledge truly impressed us. His ability to animate the history and landscape of Belize, from ancient Maya tales to natural wonders, was remarkable. Edgar's energetic approach ensured we had a unique and outstanding day. The mix of the Mayan temple and cave tours created a wonderfully diverse experience in Belize. Great job, Edgar!
This tour was an amazing experience. Edgar, our guide, picked us up in Hopkins and did a fantastic job hosting us throughout the day. He shared local history and stories that made us feel truly cared for. Xunantunich was stunning, and the Blue Hole provided a perfect refreshing break. An exceptional experience overall.
This tour was incredible and very educational. Our guide, Edgar, started sharing insights the moment we entered his van, detailing the history and local stories of each town we traveled through. At the ruins, his extensive knowledge continued to shine through. The experience was truly enjoyable, thanks to Edgar’s insights and expertise. I highly recommend requesting Edgar as your guide.

Our guide and driver, Jimmy and Johnny, were exceptional. They created a welcoming atmosphere, allowed us ample time for questions, and made sure the food was suitable for my allergies. Their knowledge and kindness made learning from them a pleasure. The history they shared about the ruins was fascinating, making this a top-notch experience. I'm grateful to them for making this trip memorable for me and my niece; it truly meant a lot.
