        Hire Dennis, best tour ever!
        Dennis and his friend at the caves (young local, his name is slipping me, so hard working) were both incredible! Words can't explain how amazing our experience was for this tour. I highly suggest you hire a private car if you can and get Dennis to yourself. The wealth of knowledge he has about the island and its history is truly incredible. The caves are magical and worth the drive. I also recommend you buy some Belizean cooked food. YUMMY. I would do the exact tour all over again just because the tour guides were that great. My husband and I told several friends to visit Belize and find Dennis. Whenever we make it back to Belize, Dennis is the first person we will call.

        Wouldn’t pick any other company!
        Phil was an outstanding guide and resource throughout my week long trip to Belize City. Always on time and professional with the patience of a saint! Highly recommend his company and tours. If you want someone with incredible knowledge and experience, Phil is your man!

        Great Last Minute choice (when your cruise excursion cancels on you)
        Our Carnival Glory excursion was cancelled due to rough seas so we went ashore (tinder port) and just happened upon Belize Caribbean Tours. They gave us a deal (15% cheaper than Carnival) on the City Tour (about 1 hour) with Beach Time (2 hours). Even when we bought this, we could tell there were VERY conscientious about getting us back to port prior to "last tinder". Our tour guide Phillip is very knowledgeable about Belize City and showed us many places in the city as well as answered all questions about culture, lifestyles, finances and life in general in Belize City. We felt totally safe and encountered no issues at all. Then on to Kukumba Beach - salt water beach right on the ocean but also separated from the ocean by natural rock and a little engineering. Live DJ, food, water slides, large floaties, rope swing, plenty of shaded and unshaded beach chairs - no problem with having your choice. Plenty of bathrooms and changing facilities and showers to rinse the sand off. There is also a historical museum, gift shop (does take cards) and full restaurant (Phillip even ate here). We were returned promptly as promised as had absolutely an enjoyable time. One additional must add comment - I had left my cellphone in the tour van and this company went out of their way to find and will be shipping the phone back to me - big big kudos to Phillip and Tanizia, two of the more important people that work for this company..

        A very cool experience and great guide!
        My husband and I went Cave Tubing on a recent trip to Belize City. Our guide was named Cairo Elliott (+501-633-3891). He was awesome! He picked us up at our hotel, and made sure to point out places of interest and history of Belize along the hour drive to our destination. He is super-knowledgeable, and friendly. It is obvious that Cairo loves his job. The cave tubing experience was so fun and a very cool experience, seeing the stalactites, stalagmites, and the beautiful crystal columns, sparking in the light of the headlights on your helmet. After exiting the caves, the float down the river was so relaxing and scenic—we didn’t want it to end! Cairo was great about recommending restaurants near our hotel, too, which we enjoyed. If we hadn’t been leaving the next day, we would have tried to book another excursion with Cairo. It’s like getting together with a friend. If your travels bring you to Belize City, we highly recommend both the Cave Tubing excursion, and the tour guide services of Cairo Elliott!

        Jungle Joe is the best guide !!
        Although we booked the baboon sanctuary and didn’t really see / interact with any baboons, our tour guide Jose, others known as “jungle Joe” gave us a day out that we will never forget. He was super knowledgeable and so nice! He stopped at a few places we asked him to (the Belize sign and a shopping store). He was so accommodating and just proud of his country. We drove through the city and jungle Joe was all over the microphone, pointing out so much. It was such a wonderful tour overall. We saw the city, old church and shared many laughs in the car ride! BOOK WITH JUNGLE JOE !!

        Not worth the savings!
        The kids himself were amazing. The tour company on the other hand was shady to say the least. I just had a hip replacement 5 months ago, first question I asked is how long of a walk and how strenuous would it be to get to the starting point. I was told that it would be 5 to 10 minute walk but very easy to do. We were introduced to our tour guide and told to wait approximately an hour before we departed. When we came back to the park we're told that we no longer had that tour guide and we were going to be going with a family of 4. The family that we were with were quite nice, they were Hispanic and only spoke Spanish. The tour guide was Spanish speaking as well and we had to ask for everything to be translated to us My wife and I both only speaking English. We were disappointed that we missed probably 75% of the things that were being said and had no clue on what was being talked about the majority of the time, especially inside the caves. Felt as if we were a tag along and it would have been more beneficial for both the family and ourselves to be on separate tours. Family had to wait for their interpretations that did take place and we missed out on the things being explained. My contacted the company about it was basically told that I was a liar. Highly recommend booking your excursions from your cruise ship, a few dollars you save by going on your own proved not to be worth it in the long run.

        Spiaggia inesistente, proposta ingannevole
        Today, we (a group of about 30 people) had a terrible experience. They showed us pictures of a beautiful beach, saying we would have access to umbrellas, beach chairs, and water. They even gave us a bracelet. After a 45-minute boat ride, they left us on a little island with no beaches, and, of course, no umbrellas or beach chairs for 4 hours. Even though the island was typical, we felt like we were literally scammed.

        Ehh. Should have skipped
        The best part of this excursion was going to a park where a local woman prepared wine, cornbread and candy to try. Otherwise it was a ride through a dirty city on a bus. Our guide was well spoken but there was just not much to see or learn about.

        Do Not Recommend!
        I would not recommend these shady set of people. I did not have a reservation and therefore I haggled with the guide for a rate of $35 for the Mayan tours for 2 ppl. When I went to pay, I was told $100... go figure... they told us to wait for 40 min. After 50, I didn't hear anything and when asked, I was told they couldn't find a driver to take us to the ruins... so we would have been sitting down in front of them without going on any tour... the shadiness and disrespect is so blatant and therefore, I WILL be making sure everyone knows not to use this group. There are others in the building who are more willing and more honest.

        A tour to remember
        Without having booked an excursion before our port-of-call, we happened upon a tour of tubing through a cave that was conducted Belize Carribean Tours on short notice. It turned out great. Even though the time was very short before we were due on the last tender back to the ship, our guides went all out to ensure that we got to experience the best parts of the tours.ennis A Hislop was our very informative guide. He filled us in on myriad cultural, economic, environmental, and political insights in the island nation. And he drove us safely for an hour an 15 each way to and from Belize City, managing the ticket purchases and providing all the equipment. And he watched our possessions safely in his van after he put us in the good hands of our river guide, Fernando. There was much more walking to do than expected, but it was through a spectacular jungle on good, well-cleared roads. We had to wade through the creek a few times, but Fernando kept us on our tight schedule. Since the river was slow, he sped things up by tying together our four tubes and pulling and paddling us through quickly. He was very strong and safety conscious. The effort of getting there was well worth it. The float through the long cave was extraordinary and unforgettable. And we saved money by not booking the trip through the cruise line.

        Great Bird Viewing
        Crooked Tree was lovely. We did a lot of bird viewing by car but once we saw birds we would park on the side of the road and walk. Absolutely worth the visit.

        Wonderful Experience
        While on a cruise and a stop in Belize, my daughter found us this cave tubing tour. After all the formalities, we were introduced to Dennis Hislop, our van driver and tour guide. Dennis had arranged for his friend and fellow tour guide, "Big" or aka Amir. Because the wife and I are somewhat disabled, they helped us along the whole trip. Dennis also gave us a tour of two parts of Belize city including pointing out where his grandpa lived. The whole cave tubing float was fantastic and the water was refreshing. If ever we get back to Belize, I will surely be looking up Dennis and Belize Caribbean Tours again! Thank you Dennis and Amir !! You both made our Belize experience "unBELIZABLE" !! :)

        BEAUTIFUL but understand what you are getting into
        Ok so we did not book any excursions with Carnival on our 7 day cruise (they get enough of our $). Belize 2nd stop. we got off and began walking. Walked past several tour companies and then saw picture of Mayan ruins on this tour companies. I was interested but they said we did not have enough time in port. Guy told us cave tubing was the best and bus was about to leave. "discounted $55 each because the bus was about to leave" (yeah ok maybe). I asked how long to get there and was told 45 min (LIES). We were packed on us a bus with some cool people with our cruise. DENNIS GET 5 STARS, AMAZING TOUR GUIDE AND HUMAN BEING. He entertained us with his tour getting out of the city. Drive to tubing took almost 1.5 hours. I did not appreciate the inaccurate and possibly deceptive timeline but what can you do. Renting shoes (non for sale fit us well for the $) was $3. BRING YOUR OWN WATER SHOES NOT FLIP FLOPS. We had to carry our tubes for a 40 min hike over 3 water crossings. DENNIS's friend pickup up our tubes after the first water crossing and that was nice but expect to carry. Hike was nice but unexpected and in rented water shoes. So we are at over hours of travel and walking to get to caves. ONCE THERE WOW!!!! incredible. Glad we did it. You really need to see it. Dennis was fantastic and his friend AMIR was AMAZING. maybe 30 min tubing in caves with narration and another 20-30 down the river. Again we had to carry our tubes out but for only a few min. They were tied together at this point and hard to carry down narrow trails. I popped one on a tree and almost fell over many times. Drive back was a little quicker at a little over an hour. Dennis was very concerned with getting us back in time and we had plenty of time. So take it for what is worth Y'all. About 3 hours of driving and walking and 1 hour of stunning beauty. I cant have really expected much more at this price point last minute. Tipped about $10 each to Dennis and Amir. This was our cheapest day in port. BRING WATER SHOES, SHOES not FLIP FLOPS. And a water case for your phone. GIVE DENNIS A RAISE. Without him and Amir this review may have been much lower.

      We were in Belize with Carnival. We didn’t have a tour planned, but we walked past this tour company, which appeared reputable and promised to take us to the Altun Ha ruins and get us back in plenty of time to disembark. They even offered us a deal of $40 apiece because the bus was about to leave. I was hesitant because I had worn flip flops, but the guy promised it was an easy walk.

      Dennis was an AMAZING guide! He drove us through the city, pointing out interesting sights and gave interesting details about the land, culture, and history of the area. The ruins were easy to walk around, as promised. Dennis continued to be a wealth of information as we toured the ruins.

      On our way back, Dennis continued to give information and answered all of our questions about life in Belize. And we were back in plenty of time!

      This tour appeared to be the same tour experience offered through Carnival and was a fraction of the price. We definitely recommend the company, especially Dennis, and plan to book through them again on our next stop in Belize!
