Flaco is a fantastic tour guide. He is truly knowledgeable and has done his homework. He is up on the latest archeological and anthropological research and loved discussing it with us. He was friendly, upbeat, and attentive. Dorian our driver was very good as well. The ruins themselves are spectacular... a fascinating complex of pyramids and structures. Very big! The one thing we didn't enjoy was the included lunch on the way home. They took us to a fast food chain restaurant that had terrible food; no one enjoyed it. We passed so many mom-n-pop restaurants with local Belizean cuisine along the way that we all would loved, but we ended up at the yucky chain restaurant.Carolyn_K
