Let me start by saying that I am generally not a complainer. Especially on vacation in a foreign country, you have to be prepared to go with the flow, and Im ok with that. My husband and I were traveling in Belize (staying in Placencia) and were very excited to see the Mayan ruins near the boarder of Guatemala. I... More

Enjoyed Cockscomb hiking/tubing so much that we also did the Maya hiking/Swasey River white water kayak tour. Great combination of education (plants, animals, history, & modern Maya culture) mixed with adventure & humor. Had a great time, learned a lot, experienced a completely different culture, saw once in a lifetime sites. Basilio & his family are warm & engaging. Our... More

We've been going on tours with Exotic Belize Tours since 2003 (we go to Belize a lot) and every time is a great experience! Always something new and fresh. Thanks Basilio, for fun times and teaching us about Belize ecology and history!

My family booked three tours with Basilio Mes and Exotic Belize Tours and each was more interesting and fun than the previous one. I have little to add that hasn't already been said by other reviewers. I will say, though, having spent a considerable amount of time talking to Basilio during a couple of long car rides to the Central/Western... More

We booked numerous trips with Exotic Belize Tours and they were all amazing adventures. I can't say enough great things about Basilio Mes. So much so that people in the airport and even people at our hotel were asking for his card once they heard about his excursions. His passion for all things Belize truly shows and each excursion left... More

We were lucky enough to get Basilio as a guide for the Red Bank Scarlet Macaw tour. Although the macaws were nowhere to be seen, Basilio went the extra mile (literally) to seek them out. We finally saw two of them after hours of searching. We saw plenty of other birds and Basilio knew every one of them! He truly... More

We lucked into Basilio Mes when we booked a tour through Placenia Eagle Ray Tours for the Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary. Although Basilio had the same tour booked for Saturday, we asked to do it on Friday as the forecast for Saturday called for rain (and it poured that day). At 6 pm on Thursday night, he agreed to take... More

My husband and I had our first stand up paddle board experience in Placencia. It was great because the water was warm, and we could go at our own pace, as we were beginners. They offered us a core work out, but we opted to just paddle. We found the company under belizefit.com

Basilio Mes greeted us with a wonderful smile and adventure in his bones. He has a great sense of humor and my entire family and I appositely love him. He is extremely knowledgeable and is the funnest guide I have ever had. The places we went were so wonderful it was hard to believe you were seeing the real deal.... More
