The Ruins of Xunantunich

The ruins are really amazing to see right in front of you and the guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. The food was also very tasty. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Our tour guide Garreth was very informative and knew a lot about the Mayan history, and the lunch we got was really good and it was cool to have an authentic Belizean meal. We cut it a little bit close to when we needed to be back to the ship but overall I think this is a tour Id consider doing again.

Beautiful and impressive ruin site, we enjoyed the day with our knowledgeable guide and the lunch was good in a nice Belizean cafe. The hill from the parking lot to the site is steep but very short, took 5 minutes to walk so not bad. The drive is at least 90 minutes and the guide drove a bit on the crazy side for us, escaped a few dangerous situations on the road, otherwise nice experience.

The trip was filled with interesting history and local information.

Just really can not say enough about this experience! A small group (11) which is ideal. The van driver was also our guide. Very interesting, informative and responsive to any and all questions. There is a very steep hill to walk up to get to the complex which could be limiting for some. This particular complex of ruins is truly spectacular! The climb up the largest in the complex could be challenging, but there are different levels at which any climber can call it quits. Not terribly difficult to get all the way to the top for spectacular views. Yes, you CAN see Guatemala and, if you are lucky, can hear howler monkeys in the surrounding forest. Would definitely recommend this to anyone.

Our guide was very knowledgeable and very informative. The ruins were amazing.

We booked this excursion without much regard to getting back to the ship on time. The day before the trip I had serious reservations about going, despite having paid for it. Our driver, Garret, and his assistant Tiffiny were awesome. They made me feel comfortable we would not miss the ship. To do so, it seemed we were not going at or below the speed limit ever. The only vehicle that passed us (both directions) was a chopper driver, apparently in a bigger rush than us. That being said, we had ample time to climb and explore the ruins. We even stopped on the way back for a surprisingly good lunch. Beer not included, but only $2 (on ship it was $7). Belikin was the local beer of choice, and quite good. Garret was very knowledgeable, and answered all questions. He kept the show on schedule in a polite and professional manner. I would recommend this tour to anyone with an interest in history.

We enjoyed our excursion to the Mayan Ruins at Xunantunich. We were fortunate to have a small group on the tour so it really felt personalized. Our guide, Gareth, was very knowledgeable, pleasant and kept us right on time. Everyone in the group liked the lunch that was provided from a local restaurant on our way back. It was truly tasty. The ruins were fascinating and climbing to the top is not for the faint of heart. I highly recommend this tour!

We were fortunate to have a small tour group (6 people) and Garreth for our guide. He was quite knowledgeable about all things Belize. He was pleasant and kept us on track for our timeline. The ruins were amazing. If you are in the slightest bit afraid of heights, I can't recommend the climb to the top. If you do go, the view is astounding and I couldn't help imagining the people who built and used it. The lunch we were served was delicious. Garreth had us back to our cruise ship right on time. I can definitely recommend this tour.
