- Dahlin T3 contributionsUse Belize Shuttle when in Belize.We used Belize Shuttle to take us to Placencia from Belize City and returning, The service is spectacular. William Hoffman responds quickly to inquiries and provides excellent and reliable information. The vans are comfortable, the drivers are amazing, and the drive is beautiful. The drivers provide information about the sights along the drive and always checking on your comfort. The shuttle is also extremely affordable especially considering the cost of flights. I highly recommend this company for excellent, reliable, and affordable service. You will not regret it!Visited November 2023Traveled with friendsWritten November 15, 2023

- Marissa LOttawa, Canada2 contributionsGreat shuttle experienceBelize Shuttle by William came recommended to us through our Airbnb hosts and we’re so glad we went with them. Firman was waiting for us at the airport, sign in hand, which was such a welcome sight after a day of travel. He was lovely and courteous, checking if we needed bathrooms before departing, and offered to stop along the way for water. He was an excellent driver and gave us advice and tips for our stay in Belize. We didn’t have cell plans set up upon arrival and Firman called our host for us to confirm address when it was too vague to locate. Upon arrival, he made sure we were able to gain access to our apartment and even parked to assist when our keys weren’t working. As female travellers, we felt safe and looked after and it was such a comfortable a/c ride. We travelled from the airport to San Ignacio. Would recommend absolutely.Visited November 2023Traveled with friendsWritten November 29, 2023
- Anne S4 contributionsIncredible customer serviceWe used William's transportation for our shuttle service in Belize. They provided top-notch communication and service. The drivers were courteous and punctual and they were friendly and informative. Every ride was an opportunity to learn more about the wonderful county of Belize. They really love their jobs and were amazing to work with. We are so appreciative of the excellent service!Visited January 2024Traveled with familyWritten January 6, 2024
- Naomi KMemphis, Tennessee27 contributionsReliable and friendly!I cannot say enough good things about this company. We used this shuttle service to travel from Belize City to San Ignacio and from San Ignacio to the airport. My fiend and I were the p my passengers in a comfortable van. Both times the drivers were there waiting for us and easy to find. And we enjoyed the trip and learned so much from them along the way.Visited February 2024Traveled with friendsWritten February 14, 2024
- -MyLifeOfTravel-Steamboat Springs, Colorado79 contributionsSan Ignacio transfersWe used Belize Shutte for roundtrip airport transfers. William was easy to work with over email and very responsive. Driver at the airport was punctual and easy to find. Van was comfortable. The return driver was early and waited for us to pack up our last few things. We arrived at the airport way too early, but I understand there are unforeseen issues on occasion and better early than late. Both drivers were friendly and safe. Thanks, William!Visited February 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten February 15, 2024

The communication from the team was great. They provided detailed instructions which I appreciated. The driver was there waiting for us in Belize City when we landed and took us to San Ignacio in a comfortable and spacious sprinter type van. I’m glad we found them and will use them again for our next trip to Belize!Visited March 2024Traveled with friendsWritten March 25, 2024

It was very easy to contact through WhatsApp. I got info and price details through email. The email consisted abundance of information on Belize in general. It was very helpful. Another email with confirmation was sent a week before our trip. As we landed it was very easy to find our driver. He was very professional and we felt very safe at all times. Great service!

We booked a shuttle service with William from the airport to San Ignacio and then from San Ignacio to the water taxi.
William was quick to answer our emails and was super helpful. As we were not sure of our itinerary, he gave us different prices and answered all our questions. We trusted him from the beginning.
Our plane was delayed for two hours and we knew someone would be waiting for us. When we got out the airport, Marco was there waiting for us. He drove us to San Ignacio, but he also gave us lots of information regarding Belize and advice for San Ignacio. He was a great and safe driver. We really appreciated him.
On our way from San Ignacio to the water taxi, we had another driver (we forgot his name), but he was just as nice as Marco. We had great conversations.
We highly recommend Belize Shuttle by William!

Our options for running around Belize were cab, car rental, bus and group or shared transit (such as Williams). I will utilize this option in the future because it worked so well.
We booked with Belize Shuttle by William in advance of the trip for private transportation on 3 segments-Belize City airport to San Ignacio, San Ignacio to a resort in the Pine Ridge Reserve, Pine Ridge Reserve to a hotel in Dangriga. They did not ask for payment upfront and they gave us non-negotiable prices for each trip and the expected duration of each trip. They said we didn't need to tip but we did anyway. The prices were lower than booking through hotels.
The day before each trip I confirmed the time and departure and arrival destinations and they responded positively within minutes to confirm.
They sent me photos of the shirt and sign I would see at the airport, which made finding the person much easier (amidst the chaos and crowds of the airport).
They were flexible when I shifted the pick up time on one of the occasions, their estimates of duration were accurate, they were on time, the drivers provided a smooth and easy ride, and shared with us relevant cultural/biological/general interest things along the ride. Just another thing about the drivers (Fermin, for example): We really enjoyed spending time with them because they were knowledgeable, friendly, flexible, kind, generous and generally lovely people. They asked regularly if we wanted to stop to check out various things or take a food or bathroom break.
The roads in Belize have improved dramatically in the past few years due to grants and loans to the government and massive, new repaving efforts. The Belizean massage associated with the previous year's roads has gotten much gentler.

A party of 14 needed a shuttle from Belize Intl to Placencia and fortunately we found Belize Shuttle by William. William was very communicative prior to our trip and responded to our questions with lightning speed. We were met upon arrival at BZE by two mini-busses and proceeded on the 3 hour trip to Placencia. The drivers were incredible, extremely flexible and catered to our every need, including several stops on the way. The vehicles were well maintained, extremely clean, air conditioned and large enough to accommodate us all comfortably. We also booed the same team for our return trip a week later. They were on time and got us back to BZE safely.
I highly recommend Belize Shuttle by William and will be using them again in the future when returning with such a large group.
William - a big thank you to you and your Team.

We used William's Shuttle two times while in Belize in January and February, 2021. He shuttled us from Belize City to Table Rock Jungle Lodge outside of San Ignacio (approximately 2 hours) and again from Table Rock to Ocean Breeze Beach Resort in Placencia (about 3 hours). William was on time, accommodating to stopping along the way if needed and very informative about Belize. His SUV was clean and comfortable. It also had A/C and complete plexiglass barrier between the front seats and back area for extra Covid measures. Belize tourism is way down due to Covid which is devastating for the tour industry but a small silver lining if you feel comfortable still traveling. Our entire trip, from the transportation, excursions and accommodations were extremely Covid safe in our opinion.

We used Williams' shuttle service for transport to and from the Belize international airport to San Ignacio. William's team was timely, courteous, and friendly during the drives sharing lots of knowledge about Belize with us - all for a very reasonable rate. It was so easy to communicate and coordinate our travel times with them. We appreciated their attention to Covid safety (the driver's section was separated from the back of the vehicle) to ensure we had a healthy and safe trip!

All communications with William's Shuttles were prompt and professional. Van pickup was on time, and the vehicles were in good shape. We arranged BZE International airport pickup online and paid in cash upon arrival. We paid a $50 deposit (also cash) for our return trip/pickup from our San Ignacio lodge. Highly recommended. Would hire again!

thank you very much for taking your time to review our service ;]
for now we are all in lock down still but with fewer restrictions then the last 2 months ;
the 18 corona cases resulted in 2 fatalities (our condolences to family and friends) and all others recovered since then ...
we know and we follow whats going on in the states , Canada and the rest of the world and know that most of you are still reeling from the effects but we hope that you will hang in there and soon see the light at the end of the tunnel...
our airports and borders at this moment are still closed and we are figuring out how to proceed ones they are opening up , for us as a business we are already getting our equipment and supplies ready in case the tourism sector starts sooner then expected .
at this time me personally see this not happening till November / December of this year to be honest , but who know , at the moment its easier to predict unstable weather then this corona virus ...
bottem line , stay safe and well and if recovering i hope so soon, Belize will be here for when you make your plans and if needed we will be there too ....
stay safe
respectfully
William.

Me and my girlfriend used Williams shuttle 3 times during our time in Belize. It was honestly one of the best shuttle experiences I’ve ever had. For the first 2 times we used the shuttle our driver Lucy was simply amazing she was very nice, funny, and knowledgeable about the whole country of Belize. Our final time using Williams shuttle service we had Pascal who was a very nice guy who took use from the water taxi to the airport. Overall the drivers where simply the best of the best! Prices are very very fair for any traveler. Customer service is also top notch every time I emailed William to let him know what time I would need to be picked up he would respond within 30 minutes. 10/10 for customer service!
Next time I’m in Belize I will be hiring Williams shuttle again.

We used William Shuttle for a transfer from Belize airport to San Ignacio and then again from San Ignacio to Placencia. Both drivers did an amazing job. The vans were clean and well kept. There is a plexiglass divider between the passengers and the driver to keep everyone safe. Both drivers were there on time (even a little early) and very accommodating. Every email I sent was answered promptly. I definitely recommend this company when in Belize.

We loved William’s Belize Shuttle from beginning to end! As we prepared for our trip William was extremely responsive to email, making sure we were all set for our three drives, and even sending some helpful information about visiting Belize. When we arrived, he met us at the airport and safely drove us to San Ignacio, providing interesting conversation and even stopping for lunch on the way. He took us to have our first authentic Belizean meal. Our other two drives, one with William’s wife Lucy and the other with Eder, were also great. They were always prompt, safe, friendly, and reasonably priced! Will use them again when we return.

My apologies. I just noticed this message. I don't remember for certain but I believe it was around $100USD for three passengers to shuttle from the airport in Belize City to San Ignacio. Well worth it for a private shuttle and friendly driver doubling as a tour guide.

This is the exact service we will be needing but I can’t find any prices. Is there an email to the company that I can ask them a price? This is our first trip to Belize and it is overwhelming trying to pick places to stay.
Written March 20, 2018
thank you very much for the time to write and the answer , the prices have not been on the site from the start ....
the fuel prices fluctuate sio much and we drive to so many places in the country with so many different added requests, so many different amounts of people that a "static" price list doesnt always work in both our benifits ...
in this way i can see in your email what you would like to add or not and where your hotel is located . in town or far outside ...
adding a zoo stop or other request ....
so don't worry please write us and we will answer as fast as we can and make a price quote that fits the budget and circumstances

Written March 10, 2018
If you’re willing to wait until the last minute you can get a good deal if they already have a driver going that day that direction. Full price is $90-100, and we paid half that ($50) for 2 people because we were just that lucky
