EXCELLENTTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had another incredible experience with Barefoot Services Belize, this time on the Xunantunich and Blue Hole full day tour. Our guide, Jimmy, was outstanding. His knowledge of Mayan history and the sites we visited brought everything to life and made the day far more meaningful than a typical tour. What truly set this experience apart, though, was the cultural element he added. Jimmy took us to an authentic local restaurant where he ordered a full multi-course meal for us and walked us through each dish, explaining the ingredients, preparation, and the history behind them. It felt less like a stop for lunch and more like a curated cultural experience. The level of care, pride, and attention to detail he showed throughout the day was exceptional. If you’re looking for a tour that goes beyond the basics and gives you a real connection to Belize, we highly recommend this experience.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an outstanding experience with Barefoot Services Belize during our recent trip. We booked the Jaguar Paw zip line and cave tubing adventure, and it was one of the highlights of our time in Belize. Our guide, Ian, was exceptional. His knowledge of the area, history, and local culture added so much depth to the experience. It never felt like just a “tour.” He provided incredible personal attention throughout the day and made sure everything ran smoothly. What really stood out was the care he took with our family. He went out of his way to bring us to an authentic local restaurant and even ensured our daughter had a specially prepared pescatarian meal. That level of thoughtfulness and attention to detail is rare. If you’re looking for a professional, well-organized, and truly personalized experience in Belize, I highly recommend Barefoot Services. You won’t be disappointed.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ich habe bei barefootservices zwei schnorcheltouren zu laughingbird und soll Cayes sowie die ATM Höhlentour g er bucht. Schnorcheltouren waren super gut über diveshop Sea horse organisiert worden. ATM Tour übertraf jedoch alles. Guide war super hat uns auch durch die engsten Stellen sehr sicher geführt und uns sehr viele historische sowie kulturelle und archäologische Hintergründe zu einzelnen Fundstücken Formationen sowie Mineralien berichtet. Alles war top. Tausend Dank und gerne wieder 😃👍Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used Barefoot Services for our trip to and from the airport and our resort in Belize, and for a tour of the Mayan ruins in southern Belize at Lubaantun and Nim Li Punt. On our tour and our return trip to the airport, our guide Ian Yearwood, added enormous value to our trip through his understanding of ancient Mayan history and culture, the history and culture of the diverse peoples of Belize, and the wildlife and ecology of the region. Plus, he knows where to stop for the best food and takes a great picture! Thank you so much, Ian!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our guide Ian was the perfect combination of knowledgeable, kind, and funny! We went to Xunantunich and the inland blue hole and a local restaurant for lunch in between. My sister is very into plants and I’m very into birds, Ian took the time to point out both along the way and was patient with our bombardment of questions. 10/10 would recommend!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ian gave us a 5 star day. Customized our transportation to add lots of local stops for yummy food, cultural education, and an incredible waterfall hike. Top notch guy!!!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was the highlight of our group. 1.5 hour on horses along the shoreline. Stopped for a nice cocktail and learned so much along the trail. 100% recommend.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently experienced a barefoot tour of historical sites and Mayan ruins and I must say it was an incredible experience. The tour was well-organized and Ian our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the whole country and history and culture of the Mayan people. One of the highlights of the tour was visiting the ancient Mayan ruins of Xunantunich. The site was breathtaking and Ian provided a wealth of information about the Mayan civilization that once thrived there. We were able to climb to the top of the tallest temple and take in the stunning views of the surrounding jungle. Another highlight of the tour was visiting the Cahal Pech Mayan site. It was fascinating to learn about the daily life of the Mayan people and their advanced knowledge of astronomy and mathematics. The site was also very well-preserved, which made it easy to imagine what life was like for the ancient Mayans. I really appreciated the time of the tour, which allowed us to connect more closely with nature and the ancient sites we were visiting. Overall, I highly recommend this barefoot tour. It was definitely a unique and unforgettable way to experience the rich history and culture of this beautiful country.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our guide Ian was the most knowledgeable guide you could imagine. A walking talking encyclopedia. You may not believe this review but BELIZE me you will enjoy the tour.😄 A must tour to do is the Xunantunich site. And lunch at Benny’s kitchen which is included in the tour. Up next is cave tubing and I can’t wait to see what’s in store. Stayed tuned for a follow up review.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ian provided us with an unbelievable experience as a family of 5. He picked us up on time at 7 am at our hotel on Placencia and brought us to visit.Xunantunich which was amazing and gave us a real feel for Mayan culture and history.On the way he stopped a number of times to point out iguanas, toucans and other wildlife. We also visited the inland Blue Hole for a refreshing swim. One of the highlights was in fact the locally prepared lunch which all the family really enjoyed. Would fully recommend both Ian and Barefoot Services. Review made 23rd February 2026

No, not if you’re a citizen of the United States, Canada, the European Union, CARICOM nations, and several other countries. You will, however, need a valid passport with at least six months left before it expires.
Tipping is always appreciated for concierge services and at restaurants. Tipping 10% is customary for good service while 15-20% is normal for exceptional service.
All of the finer hotels, resorts, and lodges will offer high-speed, wireless internet. Smaller, boutique hotels and offshore locations may only offer Wi-Fi in common areas. While internet access is less prevalent in rural areas, most visitors come to Belize to get away from the hectic demands of modern life and to enjoy the unspoiled, natural landscape and wildlife.
If you have an unlocked smartphone that uses SIM cards, you can purchase a pre-paid SIM card from one of the two Belizean carriers: Digicell and Smart. Most visitors, however, prefer to rely on wireless internet hotspots or just leaving their phone in their suitcase to focus on relaxing and enjoying their vacation.
Belize uses the same voltage and plugs as the United States and Canada, so you will not need a power adaptor unless you’re coming from Asia or Europe.
Generally, the bathrooms in Belize use the same western-style flushing toilets as you’d find anywhere in North America. However, in some rural areas, outhouse style bathrooms are all that is available.
Although tap water in Belize is safe for showering, drinking it may disturb foreign visitors. All visitors are recommended to solely drink bottled water which is widely available.
All finer establishments will accept credit cards, particularly Visa and MasterCard with less coverage for Discover. Cash, however, is universally accepted, and American dollars are gladly accepted everywhere in the country. The American dollar is permanently pegged to the Belize dollar at 2:1, making it easy to understand prices.
The larger cities will have ATMs, but these may charge withdrawal fees. To find out if your card will work in Belize, it is recommended that you check with your home bank.
Travel insurance is always recommended in case something unforeseen occurs.
