Belize City Tours and Guides

[lovetotraveltx]

We are two adults arriving in Belize City with the NCL Breakaway in January. Anyone know of a tour guide that we can hire for the day: City Tour, snorkeling and maybe a little shopping? Also, do $ work?  Thank you!

US$ work.

 

A City Tour and snorkeling are opposed to each other.  Snorkeling needs to be done out on a caye which entails a separate excursion and most likely will take up your time in Belize.   For snorkeling there are both ship excursions and private vendors like Coral Breeze.  A number of threads on this board cover the subject.

A city tour can last 2-4 hours depending on your stops (mostly museums) and how long you spend at each.  Belize City is a working city not a tourist city. You can cover most of the tourist sites in the city via a taxi or walking.  

So chose one or the other City Tour or Snorkeling.

I had the same question, but if I read above it is possible to just use taxi's for the day, correct?  Any recommendation to just hire taxi's point to point or to hire a taxi for a few hours.  Thoughts?

Belize City is a working city, it is not a tourist city.  Really not much to see other than businesses and schools.  Belize is a beatiful country with the focus on "Natural" beauty = massive jungles and historic mayan ruins, or outer tropical islands with beach vibe.  Not much else to see or do in whole country.  Do yourself a favor and see that part of the country - do an excursion.
