True Belizean Heart & Hospitality - Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Our Belize City Tour on March 18th (shore excursion from Grandeur of the Seas) was easily the highlight of our entire cruise, and it wasn’t just because of the sights it was because of the soul of the people.
A huge shout-out to our guide, Adonis. From the moment we started, his warmth and friendly energy made us feel like family rather than just tourists. He is a fantastic ambassador for his country.
The absolute best part of this tour wasn't even on the official itinerary. While stopping at a local park, we were welcomed by members of the community who treated us with incredible generosity. Without any expectation of extra payment or "upselling," they shared:
A Culinary Lesson: They taught us the traditional way to make Dunkunu!
Authentic Flavors: We were gifted a delicious Dunkunu and a sweet treat.
True Kindness: They even provided much-needed bottles of water to keep us cool.
In a world of "pre-packaged" excursions, this felt real. Within just a few minutes, we experienced the authentic culture and hospitality that makes Belize so special. It was a beautiful, unadvertised surprise that I will never forget.
Thank you, Adonis, and thank you to the wonderful people of Belize City for your incredible hospitality. You have a beautiful spirit.

Belize City Tour, Monkeys, and Rum Factory - We had a great experience doing the Belize City Tour, feeding the monkeys, and visiting the rum factory. We were especially pleased with our tour guide Dennis. He was so kind and welcoming and very knowledgeable. He was a great tour guide and kept my family and I safe. We loved learning about Belize'a history and seeing all of the locals. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!

Great way to see Belize City - Mike was our tour guide on the Belize City Tour. We were in an air conditioned large bus and the tour included stops at the old Cathedral, beach park for photos and then a place to shop and eat lunch as well as taking a short train ride that tells the history of the gum (yes, for Wiggley's chewing gum) and sugar cane processing. The City tour included many sights along the way in different areas with stop signs and stop lights that nobody pays any attention to.
I highly recommend this tour as there is a great deal of history, traditions, and interesting sights to take in to see Belize City.

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..

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 !!

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.
