- 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

- Brandon BFort Worth, Texas122 contributionsBest transfer service in Belize!I found this company online as they did transfers to San Ignacio from Belize City which is what I needed. 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
- lana2302Montreal, Canada201 contributionsVery prompt and reliable serviceI got this shuttle info from my hotel owner in San Ignacio. 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! Would definitely recommendVisited March 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten March 30, 2024

He made our trip so smooth and stress free!Visited April 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten May 1, 2024

Ted was waiting for us as we exited the airport and couldn't have been nicer. He pointed out many things on our drive and answered our many questions. We were happy that Ted was our driver for the return trip to BZE. Delightful individual and we appreciated the service from Williams Shuttle.Visited May 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten May 18, 2024

- Daniel PPhoenix, Arizona8 contributionsGreat Transportation OptionWe used William's Belize Shuttle to get from the airport to San Ignacio and then back from San Ignacio to the water taxi in Belize City. The serrvice was excellent. Our flight arrived on time and we made it through customs very quickly, about 20 minutes sooner than I expected, but our driver was already waiting outside holding my name, He took us to San Ignacio and told us about some of the cites as we pasted through. The way back, the driver was right on time and also told us about the areas we were driving by. Learned about the huricane that casue them to move the capital other info. Would highly recommend!Visited August 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten August 27, 2024
- Johnny E3 contributionsBest Transportation people ever!!I used William this past two weeks for all of my travel in Belize. We started with a pick up from BZE and drop off in San Ignacio. Tyrone was a wonderful driver. He was very polite, knowledgeable, and made sure we were able to eat on our ride. The next time we were picked up it was for a ride from San Ignacio back to Belize City to the water taxi. Our driver was William. He was very personable and we felt comfortable talking with him. He showed us around Belmopan, and discussed all things Belize with us. It was as if we were riding with an old friend! We scheduled a pickup at the air port for a few days later. On the day of the travel the weather was horrendous and the flights were being canceled and delayed. At the last minute we were able to arrange a ride back to Belize City on the water taxi. I messaged William on the way and he adjusted the pick to accommodate the change in location and time with no problems. His son, Joshua, picked us up. Joshua was just as polite and personable as his father. He told us about the city and pointed out landmarks as we drove. The last morning Elvanel picked us up at the hotel and drove us to the airport. He arrived early, was very polite, and helped us with our bags. If you are traveling in Belize and want a reliable, friendly, and safe transportation, then this is the company for you. The great service at pickup set the pace for the entire trip. Everyone who had a part in our transportation were remarkable. I wouldn't think of using anyone else. Thank you all!!Visited December 2024Traveled with familyWritten January 4, 2025

We arranged a van ride from Placencia to the water taxi terminal in Belize City with William's Shuttle service as it was a reasonable price compromise between flying and the bus, and would allow us to see the Hummingbird Highway and Blue Hole National Park on the way. Our driver, Shannon, arrived on time and was very professional. As we spent the day together we found him to be a very engaging conversationalist and well versed not only in local information but also worldly affairs, as he had traveled extensively and studied abroad. He had a great sense of humor and was willing to accommodate any stops we wished with infinite patience, including stopping to check out a roadkill armadillo (we have peculiar tastes in entertainment). His personality made the trip even more enjoyable than it inherently is. We highly recommend William's Shuttle service and if you are lucky enough to get Shannon as a driver, so much the better!

We easily booked a shuttle from san ignacio to belize city water taxis for 30$ US
We were alone in the van with the driver.
Driver was there on time.
He was excellent giving us explanations all the way.
Since we were early for our water taxi, our driver even drove us to the Belize sign near the ocean where we got great pictures.
If I would have known i would have booked them since our arrival at the airport to go to san ignacio

During our stay in Belize we used Williams shuttle serivces twice. They were easy to contact and prompt in responding. Their pricing was upfront with no hidden extra costs. They made good suggestions to help with our planning. The vehicles all seemed to be in good working order and comfortable.
What really made this a great experience was the drivers. We had Shannon and Victor. On the day of the trips they showed up on time, they were polite and professional and most importantly, we felt very safe while they drove. We enjoyed talking with them and hearing as they answered our questions and told us more about the local area. Plus, they had great recommendations for where to eat! and I would not hesitate to use them again.

thank you for the compliment towards the two drivers ...will let them know and that will for sure get a smile on their faces ....
they are a hell of a crew , all of them but at times you will only meet one or the other and at times it all depends on the characters meeting ...
the perfect match between client and drivers characters makes the trip in itself more then a trip , it becomes like making a friend within a couple of hours
at times we can also be too much , lol the tired traveler not always in the mood for a dedicated well rested driver lol .....and when that happens well i do apologize but in the end we always mean well and try our very best
thank you very much for the review , it will help keeping these guys on the road and providers for their family ...

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.

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
