    We had an amazing full day tour. Everything was smooth, including communication with Adrian before the trip, giving clear information about our hotel pick up and a clear help when walking across the border where our next guide, Willy, was waiting for us! Both Adrian and Willy shared really interesting facts! A great day exploring Tikal!

    It was an educational private tour, thanks to the guide Melanie. I learned a lot about not just Xunatunich, but also Belize culture and information. The tour was private, me and another 2 persons, so there were no waiting on bus, time to pick up/drop off people stuff. On top of that, it was a slow season so there was no crowd at all. Melanie brought us to the zoo after that, which was an extra (for $40 with our consent), and that was an interesting zoo to check out too. I strongly recommend this if you don't like crowd or going with a bigger group.

    We loved our visit. We didn't think there was any way to make it to the top. Our guide, Cruze, made it so lsimple. While explaining different aspects of Xuanantunich, before we knew it, we were at the top. How exciting it was and easily done.

    We had a great excursion! It was about a 2 hour bus ride but well worth it. Our guides were very knowledgeable and shared much about Belize and the amazing Mayan Ruins. The ruins are absolutely breathtaking and don’t pass up the opportunity to climb them!! The view from the top is breathtaking!

    Leonardo Diaz was our guide. It was just myself and my girlfriend and let me tell you...he absolutely made the entire day and tour AMAZING! Xunantunich itself is a tremendous Mayan ruin site, but its useless without someone not only knowing what they're talking about, but presenting it in not only an understandable way, but fun one too! He picked us up at the Boat Taxi terminal in Belize City. He was very kind and welcoming. He said, "Its just you two today so it'll be like a private tour." He drove us out and began talking about the current state of affairs of Belize along with its history. Anything he felt we should know along the way, he pointed out and educated us about it. I didn't know "Shark" in Mayan meant "King" or "Jaguar" meant "god" but it made sense! Anyways, he knew everything about Xunantunich as well as its history and how the Mayan culture was back in the day. My girlfriend needed some water and he politely said, "Be right back" and hiked back and brought some cold bottled water back! He took plenty of pictures of us as well as took pictures on his own phone and e-mailed them to me after the trip! He also picked up a tarantula and let me continue to conquer my fears of spiders, and hold it. The ruins themselves are quite a site. Its the shark's quarters on one end and the temple on the other. On each side are mounds which contain buildings belonging/serving various aspects of Mayan life. Atop the temple, you can see into Guatemala, as well as for miles! It was an amazing experience all around. Afterward, he arranged for lunch where we talked some more and got to know him on a personal level. I know this review should be more about Xunantunich itself, however, I honestly can't say enough about our guide. If this tour is Steven Spielberg, Leonardo Diaz is John Williams.
