After an incredibly long delay to clear immigration, Lilia was waiting for us as soon as we exited the airport. Camerson, our driver, drove us to our hotel in Dangriga.
Cameron is an excellent driver and has a has knowledge of Belize. The 2.5 hour drive to Dangriga and the return after our stay passed in no time as Cameron shared many interesting things about Belize.
Cameron was early at our pick up to return us to the airport. We even stopped to lunch before our flight at a great restaurant Cameron recommended.
Definitely 5 star service.

We used Belize International for our airport arrival from Mexico to avoid the long layovers in Guatemala. We arrived late (2:45pm) and needed transfer to Tikal. Car rental is not recommended for many reasons. We chose BASS. Dwight was a pleasure to deal with via email and made all of the arrangements. He told us exactly how we would be met at the airport (sign) and then driven to the border. The drivers would then help us change cars and move us through the border crossing and then on to Tikal. It was flawless.
Our Belize-side driver was Cameron. Ask for him. He is very engaging and knowledgeable about Belize. He made the 2+ hour trip very engaging and enjoyable.
Our Guatemala-side driver was equally good.
Highly recommend BASS. they can also arrange tours in Belize or Guatemala. We did not use them for Tikal (Use Gem Tours - ask for Jose Moreno as your guide)

BASS provided the ground transportation for our recent trip to Belize. They took us to San Ignacio from the airport, and then back to Belize City for the water taxi, and finally back to the airport. Loved all of our drivers! They were friendly and offered suggestions for local restaurants and tips on getting around Belize. Our coordinator, Lilia, was wonderful. She greeted us at the airport upon arrival, and then stayed in touch via Whatsapp to make sure all the pick-ups went according to schedule. Would happily use BASS again for any future trips.

We visited Belize and took in as much adventure as possible. We hit the highlights with cave tubing, zip lining, xunantunich, beaches and more. All activities were family friendly and everyone was very nice and helpful.

Very friendly, helpful and courteous staff. Will be using their service again. Did not feel rushed after going through immigration and very safe going to the ferry.

What a treat to find Lilya! We lucked upon her taxi/shuttle service when we went to the airport to catch a flight to Ambergris Caye. A steward gave us her card and promised us a reduced rate taxi fare when we came back to Belize City to spend a few days. We called Lilya and what good fortune! She has her own shuttle/taxi service, but is trying to expand to longer tourist trips into the mainland. What a hoot! Lilya is very personable and extraordinarily helpful. We "rented" her service to go see Lamanai; she hooked us up with a local guide company, took us to the launch site, and waited for us to go on our river trip and tour of Lamanai, then she brought us back to Belize City, but on the way we stopped at a local market and she helped us pick out local spice packets to bring home for souvenirs. This is NOT the type of personal service you will get if you go for the more formal tour companies. The price was less expensive, but the value is where it's at, because you have your personal guide to answer all your questions and go the extra mile to make sure you get everything you want out of your adventure. Serious, contact Lilya before looking at the cereal box tour companies. You won't regret it. Because of the personal nature of our adventure, we are still texting her about our trip and missing Belize! Lilya's excitement and love of her country is infectious and our time with her is one of the best we have from Belize!

Service was waiting outside of Belize Airport with my name on a sign. It was a good, timely and reasonably priced option. I rode with two other travelers to downtown Belize City.

We needed a ride (4 People with a week's+ worth of luggage) the following day from the BZE airport to the water taxi to San Pedro and I wanted to make the 3 o'clock ferry, not sweating standing in a Taxi line waiting and then getting stuck waiting around for the 4:30 ferry. I planned on calling BASS first because I liked their website. Just before getting on a plane to Houston the day prior I called & there was no answer. So I called the next shuttle service on my list and they wanted me to send emails, and then they would sed payment links, and I would prepay, and I was boarding a plane in a couple minutes and had no time for any of that at that moment. After boarding the plane I tried BASS again and Lilia answered. She had been on another call earlier. She asked what time tomorrow and for my flight number, said she'd meet us at the airport exit outside baggage claim and we'd pay on the way to the ferry. The price was excellent I though for a private van for 4 people & all that luggage. (Less than the company that wanted emails and pre-payment.) Simple. Easy. One phone call. 2 minutes. No BS. She stays at the airport and meets people as they arrive.
We arrived, cleared customs, got our bags, exited the airport, and there was Lilia, warm & friendly, holding a sign with my name on it, letting us us know Cameron was pulling the Van around and saying to give her a call when we know what time of day we'll want to be picked up from the ferry for our return trip.
Cameron loaded our luggage, provided helpful pleasant conversation on the way, took our payment, unloaded our luggage, and pointed us in the right direction at the ferry.
A day before taking the ferry back to Belize City, I called Lilia and told her we'd be on the 6 AM ferry the following morning, The next morning we missed the 6AM ferry due to a check out snafu with our hotel's computer system (They couldn't find my bill). I called Lilia shortly after 6AM to say we'd be on the 7AM and she graciously said, no worries, I'll call the driver and let him know he'll se you at 8:30 instead of 7:30. Again, Super easy.
If there's a next time flying into Belize City, I'll call BASS first. In the mean time I'll encourage you to do so.
