I used UpClose Belize for a last minute tour on my last day in Belize. The tour I wanted wasn't running, but they were able to offer a place on tour to Lamanai instead, which turned out to be a great day out. Their driver Dean was waiting for me at the ferry terminal, and had my bag retrieved from the porters in record time! The drive to the river launch was smooth and on arrival, Dean had our group seated on the boat in prime position!! Our river guide Vlad had an enthusiastic and eagle eye for wildlife along the river, and shared his wealth of knowledge around the Lamanai site as well. The tour around the ruins was fully guided, but still allowed time to climb the ruins if one wanted to. Following the ruins tour, lunch was provided before we made our way back to the river launch by boat. Thanks team for a great day. The day went smoothly, and there was great communication from the team throughout the booking process!

We wanted to redo this tour because our full experience 4 years ago with Seducedbybelize company was so amazing. I accidentally booked with Upclose Belize and had a terrible experience that overshadowed enjoying the ruins themselves. Terrible disjointed, Upclose did not follow up with pertinent information. The river guide (only 1) was texting while driving for the entire trip and answering his phone while giving the ruins tour. With our prior experince the guides (2) made the river trip exciting and interesting by stopping for wildlife birds, pointing out crockadiles and generally entertaining us. They also did not provide enough water for everyone And Temperatures were quite high.

The van showed up 55 minutes late, with operator ignoring my first outreach to learn if we’d been abandoned. The van that did arrive was dirty and in poor condition, then driven dangerously over the speed limit in an attempt to make up some of the time.
The boat section and guide were good and knowledgeable.
The van on the return trip went slow, stopped for treats for his young and restless daughter whom he brought along.
In all an avoid-if-possible trip.
