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
Xunantunich / Maiden of the Rock Located in the extreme western part of the Cayo District, and overlooking the Mopan River, this ancient Maya center sits on an impressive hilltop and can be seen from most locations. The site was a major ceremonial enter during the Classic period, and is composed of 6 major plazas; a ball court and 3 carved stelaes. The most prominent structure is the pyramid "El Castillo" (the castle), which rises 130 feet above the plaza. From atop this impressive structure visitors get a sweeping view of Cayo from the east, and Guatemala from the west. The most notable feature of "El Castillo", is the reconstructed frieze on the east side of the lower temple. Getting to the site includes riding a hand-cranked ferry to cross the majestic Mopan River.
