Great Tour! - I went on this tour with a family of three - amazing people, and our guide, Elvis with Lamania Tours was incredible, very knowledgeable and someone I trust (which I normally don't). Hilberto was our captain of the boat who had amazing vision to spot out all the birds, crocodiles, turtles, etc. that we saw along the river.

Trust the Reviews, it’s great - Picked up and dropped off at our doorstep which is awesome. The van ride was full but comfortable, good AC. Our group had a great time, saw once in a lifetime views, and had a delicious lunch. Our guides Julien & Ian were great, they pointed out the wildlife, explained the sites, and ensured our lunch was a good one. I would definitely recommend this tour.

This family run tour... - This family run tour company really delivered for us. They were super flexible when we changed our party size to add a few at the last minute. Pickup at the cruise terminal was super easy. There is always a moment of uncertainty when walking down the row of tour vans in various states of repair, but theirs was the nicest and quickly put us at ease. The trip to Lamanai is a bit longer, but the river boat ride was a fun way to break it up and the site is definitely worth the time. Lunch was delicious and plentiful. No issues getting back to port with plenty of time before last tender. They have my highest recommendation.

Absolutely Outstanding Lamanai Mayan Ruins Tour with Lunch! - Our experience with the Guided Lamanai Mayan Ruins Tour was phenomenal from beginning to end. Our guide, King Julien, was incredibly professional—his depth of Maya knowledge was impressive and he shared it with patience and genuine friendliness. From greeting us warmly at the terminal to driving, guiding us on the boat, and delivering detailed, fascinating commentary about the ruins, every step was handled thoughtfully and precisely. Before arriving in Belize, we had several questions—everything was answered quickly and thoroughly via message. The meet-up instructions were crystal clear, making the whole start of the day smooth and stress-free. The included lunch was delicious and authentically local, offering a great taste of Belizean cuisine that perfectly rounded out the day. This was a perfect, 5‑star experience—we couldn’t have asked for a better way to explore the Mayan ruins. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a top-tier, educational, and fun adventure!

Wasn’t ready for the Jungle but here we are! - Javier and Junior made sure that we were comfortable and safe during our time visiting the ruins! Having a homemade lunch by their Mom was the icing on the cake.

A day well spent! - This was a great excursion! Really easy journey via car and boat. The boat is such a fun change of pace — really enjoyed the ride. And then the tour was excellent. Javier was an amazing guide and junior was wonderful too. Maybe the best part was the lunch by the ruins made by Javier’s mother. Delicious! A great day and would recommend this trip given the diversity of travel, delicious lunch and the impressive ruins!

Great day at Lamanai Mayan Ruins - It was a great day out and seeing the Lamanai Mayan ruins with no one about and howler monkeys was just so special. The lunch cooked by Julian & Ian our guides mother was delicious. The setting on the riverbank amidst the ruins was lovely. Our main issue was with Viator who didn’t inform us that they were running late (30-45 minutes) as 2 guests hadn’t showed up at earlier pickup. They should send a whatsapp message and supply a WhatsApp number for contact as long delays on the chat.
