SIBSIB Posted January 5, 2016 #1 Share Posted January 5, 2016 We are a family of four- two adults, a 5 year olds and a 1 year old. We would love to see some ruins while in Belize and think that a private tour company would suit us better than a large group ship tour. Does anyone have any experience/recommendations of tour companies that would suit us? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crewsweeper Posted January 5, 2016 #2 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Which set of Maya ruins did you have in mind? I personally can't see taking any child under 6 and maybe even under 10 to any ruins, but certainly not to Xunantunich or Lamanai. Both are longer treks from Belize City. You may wish to have a gander at Altun Ha, which is fairly close to Belize City. If so, I recommend contacting Reggie at Reggie Tours. Private guide $45 per adult (ask him about toddler rates), but for 4 or more people that can drop to $35 per person. So maybe find another r couple or family on your roll call willing to go with you. Reggie can probably personalize the tour a bit, maybe bring in a stop at the zoo or a city tour as well. When you're researching Altun Ha, you'll probably discover other private vendors with guided tours. So you can compare a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueasthesea Posted January 5, 2016 #3 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I usually use waytogotoursbelize.com for Private Tours, They take good care of you, i've used them on several excursions and would highly recommend checking them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgriffin3 Posted January 6, 2016 #4 Share Posted January 6, 2016 We are using this company in March taking along our 2 year old. http://www.shoreexcursioneer.com/belize/altun-ha-mayan-ruins-river-wallace.html I have done the tour before with my older kids with no issues.

SIBSIB Posted January 7, 2016 Author #5 Share Posted January 7, 2016 (edited) Thanks so much for all your responses! Reggie was very helpful and the cheapest, but did not have any child car seats. I have booked with waytogotours as they had reasonable pricing and a car seat. We have chosen to visit Altun Ha as on reflection Lamanai would be too much for our 1 year old.

Rare crewsweeper Posted January 7, 2016 #6 Share Posted January 7, 2016 (edited) I'll mention this to Reggie next week. Maybe he'll look into car seats for the future. Enjoy your tour of Altun Ha and have a great cruise all around. Edited January 7, 2016 by crewsweeper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coolwhip82 Posted January 11, 2016 #8 Share Posted January 11, 2016 SIBSIB-- I am almost the same demographic and looking for good things for my 1 y/o. What other ports are you visiting / what did you book? We will be in Cozumel, Costa Maya, and Roatan. My kiddos will be 1 (22 months) and 7, so its hard finding something they can BOTH do/enjoy. If there is a way to PM, I dont know it. New to this site, sorry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
