    Jose and Mark were very knowledgeable and entertaining. Jose made our less experienced riders comfortable and made sure everyone was good at every stop. It was a great way to spend the day. Even an early afternoon downpour couldn’t dampen our spirits. I would use this company for other tours.

    We wanted to not just visit the ruin but have an adventure in doing so. We signed up with St Leonard's stable and had the best time. The staff was so helpful, attentive and took excellent care of us. But the icing on the cake was our wonderful tour guide. She was amazing, full of information and actually grew up and played on the ruins as a child. She brought the ruins to life explaining all about the Mayans since she is also Mayan. We were loved on all day and had a very memorable time. We highly recommend this excursion to anyone who wants to experience an adventure in the beautiful country of Belize and see more of nature and learn about the Mayan history. The horses were also easy to ride and safe for any age.

    Our trip was amazing! Jose was wonderful and we have additional helper to help with our little ones( 6yo and 9yo). They both got their own horses and loved the day!! The horseback riding was beautiful to the ruins and Jose continued to give us a tour of Xunantuich. Couldn’t have asked for. Better start to our trip!

    This was amazing! I don't know which was better; the site and history or the horseback riding through the jungle and along the river. Jose and Mark were all-stars and this was an excellent experience.

    Our guide, Jose, was extremely helpful and welcoming. We ended up being just two with our guide which was great and much more private. Jose went above and beyond to give us the best experience on the tour but also on our visit of San Ignacio as well. He gave us tips and great insight on must sees! He taught us a lot about the site itself, but also about the fauna and the flora around. It was very informative and interesting. Overall, it was a great tour with an amazing guide.
