I am a proud Belizean and a professional tour guide. I have been guiding now for 15 years and I love what I do. In my years as a Tour Guide I've taken thousands of visitors to Belize on some of the most enlightening, entertaining and adventurous tours. We've done everything from admire panoramic views atop ancient Maya temples to tubing through some of the longest caves in the Mayan world. We've swam with sharks, flew with the birds and "danced with the deer". I truly do love my country Belize and would love to take you around showing you the sights, sounds and tastes that are apart of what has been appropriately termed "Mother Nature's Best Kept Secret". I look forward to meeting you --- PLEASE NOTE: While I do my best to ensure that my availability is up-to-date at all times, due to my heavy work load (especially during the peak travel season), my availability may be subject to change at very short notice. To avoid any disappointments, I ask that you send me a message with your preferred tour date and start times BEFORE you book and pay. Please click on the button labelled 'ASK A QUESTION' to send me a message and I will reply to you promptly. Thank you.

Overview of your Belize City tour
The Mayan site of Lamanai, situated in Belize's Orange Walk District, graces the banks of the 30-mile New River Lagoon, north of Belize City. Known for its impressive longevity, Lamanai was continuously occupied for over 3, 000 years, from 1500 BC to AD 1675. The site features eight major plazas, a ball court boasting the largest known ball court marker, and a well-preserved mask of a Maya ruler adorned with a crocodile headdress. Additionally, a 108-foot-tall pyramid stands as one of the largest Preclassic structures in the Mayan region. Intricately carved stelae portray the ruler "Lord Smoking Shell, " serving as highlights of the site. Also present are remnants of a Christian "Indian Church, " revealing that the Spaniards constructed a church atop a Mayan temple in 1544. A comprehensive on-site museum showcases pottery, flint artifacts, and figurines, many of which depict crocodiles, highlighting the animal's significance to the people of Lamanai. .
