Tour guide in Belize City Griffith E.

Hello and welcome to the beautiful country of Belize. My name is Griffith, I'm a tour guide with 20yrs. experience in the Belize District area. I'm 69yrs. old married for 40yrs, with 2 children and 8 grandchildren. I was born and raised in Belize City surrounded by Belize's rich culture and history. By profession I was an Electrical Technician. I studied Electrical and Mechanical Engineering in Belize, worked for the local Electricity company for 26 yrs, 10 of them as a supervisor. In 2001 when the Cruise Ship port in Belize City was opened, and ships started to make frequent visits to my country, I took the tour guide training, got my license and started to do tours part time. I soon realiszed that I love meeting new people and love telling them about my beautiful country. So I gave up electrical work and started guiding full time, which I have enjoyed ever since, and I have been able to share my knowledge and experience with travelers from all around the world. Belize is a small country on the east coast of Central America, Bordered in the North by Mexico, West and South by Guatemala and the east by the Caribbean Sea. Being a former British Colony, makes us the only English speaking country in Central America. One of my country's greatest assets is the friendliness of its people, which visitors quickly find out shortly after arriving. We are a unique country, with a wide variety of ethnicity, customs and cultures, which sometimes cause Belize to be referred to as a melting pot. My recognized ability to communicate with people from many different countries, backgrounds, cultures and customs, have enabled me to lead tour groups with success. My main objective is to play a more significant role in promoting Belize especially through tourism, by utilizing my vast experience and knowledge to offer travellers a unique and exclusive glimpse of my country, accompanied by me as their personal tour guide in Belize. Being flexible, having fun and making sure that my travelers get the best experience during their vacation and leave with pleasant memories of my country, is my primary motivation and goal. I provide all tours in the area of the Belize District and can also customize tours to any other part of the country. The more popular tours are City Tour, City and Country, Maya sites, Cave Tubing, and Zip Lining. My tours are all informal so no tour is conducted the same way twice. I customize my tours to meet the needs and interest of each individual visitor. I take this opportunity to personally invite you to visit my country, of which I'm so proud. Take one of my tours, which are all very interesting and informative. And as we say in Belize, "COME HAVE AN UNBELIZEABLE EXPERIENCE" - Tour Guide training course, offered by the Belize Tourism Board, the department of the government that runs Tourism in Belize. - Certificate from workshop on wildlife conservation and adaptation of animals offered by the Belize Zoo in 2015 - Certificate from workshop on Caribbean Taxi Pride & Service excellence, offered by The Florida-Caribbean Cruise Association in 2005. - Certificate for Specialized Manatee Tour Guide Training Course. Offered by the Belize Tourism Board in 2005. I have no restrictions on any of my tours. My knowledge and experience enables me to meet all my guests' needs and/or requests.
