This was my first group trip, but Emiliano really set the bar high for what an excellent tour guide should be! He’s incredibly warm-hearted and genuinely dedicated to making sure everyone has a perfect experience. Emiliano is very considerate of everyone, even though our group was large. He’s also funny, approachable, and easy to talk to. Everything on our trip went so smoothly, which shows his excellent coordination skills! It was truly wonderful to have Emiliano as our guide, and I’d recommend him any day!

What our customers ask about Belize and Guatemala Tours & Trips
How Do You Get Between Belize and Guatemala?
You've got several good options for crossing between these countries. Public buses are your budget-friendly choice and lots of travelers use them regularly. If you want something more direct shuttles are available though they'll cost you a bit more. Most people cross at Melchor de Mencos when they're heading between Flores Guatemala and San Ignacio Belize. Like on the Guatemala to Belize 10-day tour you'll usually take a mix of private transport and shuttles to make the crossing nice and smooth.
What Local Cultural Experiences Can You Join In?
There's something really special about staying with a Mayan family in San Jorge La Laguna Guatemala you'll find this on the Guatemala Belize & Mexico Adventure 14-day tour. Want something more spiritual? Join a shamanic ceremony at the Temple of San Simon in San Andres Itzapa where Maya and Catholic traditions blend beautifully. The Nicaragua to Belize Discovery tour includes this amazing experience. You can learn to make authentic tortillas with locals right in Tikal National Park or head to Caye Caulker Belize for a traditional Mayan cooking class where you'll make the most delicious chicken rice and beans you've ever tasted.
Where Are the Hidden Gems That Tourists Haven't Discovered Yet?
You've got to check out Xunantunich - getting there's half the fun with a hand-cranked ferry across the Mopan River. The Maya Encounter tour recommends this as an optional stop. Barton Creek Cave near San Ignacio is fascinating the ancient Maya used it for ceremonies and you can explore by canoe on the Abenteuer im Maya-Reich tour. Semuc Champey in Guatemala is just incredible with these natural limestone pools and waterfalls hidden in the jungle. And don't miss Livingston Guatemala it's this laid-back coastal town with amazing Garifuna culture that feels totally different from the rest of the country.
How Do You Get Around in Belize and Guatemala?
The chicken buses in Guatemala are an experience in themselves these colorfully decorated old school buses are super affordable and fun to ride. Water taxis zip between Belize City and Caye Caulker lots of tours include round-trip tickets. Local buses in Belize connect the main spots like San Ignacio and Belize City they're budget-friendly and reliable.
