Specific recommendations are listed in our tour and class descriptions. We always recommend bringing your own reusable water bottle, some cash in case you wish to make a last minute purchase, (many small shops, artisans and roadside stands in Belize are still cash only), and your phone or camera to take photos or video. Wear comfortable clothes and bring your favorite insect repellent if you are susceptible to bug bites, especially for tours that go into the jungle. See each tour or class for details.

Absolutely! Many of our tours and classes are popular with solo travelers, and we welcome individuals who wish to explore the world on their own. Our group tours provide an excellent opportunity to meet like-minded travelers and create lasting friendships along the way.

The group size for our tours and classes varies, but generally, our group tours accommodate a maximum of 15-20 participants to ensure a personalized and intimate experience.  90% of our tours and classes are less than 10 people. Private tours are available for all our adventures! We can also accommodate larger groups (wedding parties, family reunions, etc) with advance notice.

Taste Belize Cancellations/Rescheduling: We rarely cancel a tour or class unless inclement weather makes it impossible (due to flooded roads, etc) or dangerous (due to extremely rough seas, etc) to our guests safety to proceed. In those cases, we always try our best to reschedule the activity at a safer time. If we do have to cancel a tour or class for any reason, you will receive a full refund.

 

Tipping is welcome but not required. While on tour you will have a guide with you for the entire day as well as activity providers along the way that make our culinary and cultural experiences happen. For classes, you will have an independent instructor guiding you. Particularly where a service provider or guide is working for someone else, (such as the farm guides at the Belize Spice Farm and Cheil Chocolate farm), tips are an appreciated addition to their daily wage.
