We used UpClose Belize because had a desk in the lobby of the hotel where we stayed in Belize, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the experience.

We did three days worth of tours that included the Blue Hole flyover (amazing!), snorkeling, the Altun Ha ruins, cave tubing, the Belize Zoo, horseback riding through the jungle and a tour of Belmopan. Tristin and Cassie both did a wonderful job taking care of us and setting us up on the best possible tours, always tailored to our group's needs; they made sure we got everywhere we needed to be and made everything super easy for us. And all the recommendations they made turned out great, because there wasn't a single thing we did that we didn't completely enjoy.

We also had the same guide for two of our days, Auner, and again we couldn't have been happier with everything he did for us and how much fun we had; after the first day of touring we had with him, we requested him for for the next day as well! He was full of knowledge about Belize and its history, as well as all of the sites we went to. Auner also gave us a bunch of recommendations for spots to eat and other things to do that all worked out really well, which was above and beyond what we expected.

Overall: a great group of people to work with if you're looking for adventures in Belize!

The tour was so amazing, the hour drive from the ferry terminal into the jungle of San Ignacio was so beautiful and being able to climb the Xunantunich temple was such an experience. Our tour guide, Elvin, was also very knowledgeable and kept us on schedule to see everything and also make it back in time for the last 5:30pm ferry to San Pedro.

The cave tubing was also so much fun. Hiking through the jungle and being in the pitch black cave was so cool, we also had headlamps so we could see all the rock formations.

Lunch was also provided at a nearby restaurant and there were multiple opportunities for photos, to apply sunscreen, and buy snacks at nearby vendors.

Kris and Kim at Up Close Belize made our short 2 day trip inland work so well. They arranged our hotel for us- Sleeping Giant lodge was a great choice. our horseback riding(scenic and love the foals) and ATM tour(Francisco was knowledgeable, funny and kind) went off without a hitch. we had so much fun! yummy food and conversation, transportation all tended to. I am sharing Up Close Belize with all my friends when I recommend Belize as their next vacation spot. We had a couple snafus that Kris and Kim helped us fix with smiles.

We used UpClose Belize to plan our family's Belize trip - including airport transfers, a trip to Altun Ha, a trip to the Belize Zoo and a Cave Tubing trip. They were very helpful - answering all of our questions (there were alot!!) and making an itinerary unique to our family. When there was a glitch in a pick-up, they were right there to fix it immediately so that our trip was not affected. The guides they provided for us were fantastic and things like car seats were provided. All of our questions were answered with patience and reassurance.....they made our trip so easy and so fun!!!

Our guide Jeevan was incredible!!! He literally made the tour! His knowledge of not only the history of the Mayan ruins, as well as the care and attention to detail he shared about the cultures, the natural surroundings, and the wildlife is absolutely impressive. He truly knows an absolutely astronomical amount and shares it in a very clear and concise manner. Incredibly professional, phenomenal customer service, and fun!! Highly recommend and when we come back, we are booking more tours with him!

UpClose Belize was quick to reply on short notice and were so very helpful in our excursion from to caye caulker to our zip lining and cave tubing adventure. Kris and Kim were both so very helpful for the logistics. They gave us all the guidelines and steps to leave caye caulker from the San Pedro ferry to Belize city. We were greeted with a sign with our name from Auner and were quickly put in an air conditioned van with cold water to drink. Auner was our guide and was so very informative, kind, gracious and helpful. I was there with my 3 younger boys 12, 9 and 6 and we all had an amazing time. The zip lining was great, Tubing and was great, and lunch was delicious. Auner, even made sure we made it in time to our water taxi, which we cut close with having 3 boys, lol. 5 stars. Super impressed. Will reach out to upclose Belize and Auner again. This is our 3rd time in Belize and you “better Belize” we will be back again to go with Upclose Belize!

This tour was so enjoyable. Our guide, Jeevan, was friendly, knowledgeable and relaxed. He arrived right as planned and was easy going as we peppered him with questions not only about Altun Ha, but Belize City and the rest of the culture and community. We kept our tour simple - just to ruins, and that was just right for us.

The other thing we appreciated about Jeevan was his patience and flexibility in terms of how much we did or didn’t climb (we did) and how fast (one member of the group was sporting a bad knee so we let them set the pace.)

Big thanks to Upclose Belize and Jeevan for a wonderful experience!

We were looking for both suggestions as well as help in scheduling a 2-day extension after diving on the Belize Aggressor. We discussed my ideas and she came up with an itinerary. it was money saving and perfectly fit our plans. The guides she selected were amazing (Go Gringo and Ignacio). I would highly recommend you consider UpClose for your vacation plans in Belize.

My friend and I had an amazing time with our guide Auner. He was attentive, informational, and just such fun to be around. He definitely made the highlight of our trip to Belize! Not only was he a great driver, but he took great pics for us as well. We will definitely be cooking another tour with Upclose Belize next time we come back to Belize!
