Perfect amount of time at the zoo. Our guide Val was prompt in arrival, a great conversationalist coming and going, AND extremely knowledgeable about the zoo, Belizean wildlife and their stories. He introduced us to the Zoo's founder and manager, knew his way around the facility like the back of his hand, and was extremely patient as I took tons of pictures. The zoo itself is a small wonder- a conservation zoo- its mission to teach and inspire abounds. Walk through the edge of the jungle, see native wildlife in their native habitat and read their stories of survival.

The trip was educational and delightful. The tour leader told me much about the country as well as the city, and zoo history. The only reason I didn't check the fifth star is that hurricane damage still exists at the zoo. The paths are all clear and the zoo is well maintained.

The Belize Zoo is both small and a rehab center; it is not a conventional zoo in the North American sense. The City Tour is essentially a drive through of the historical buildings and sites in the City. _br/_
I would definitely recommend the tour, although doing other activities in Belize provides greater depth and is really essential to learning more about the country and its history.

I can't believe that I was the only client on this tour! Talk about personal guide service! The guide was very knowledgeable about the animals in the zoo - don't stand behind the tapir for too long! - and Belize City. It's a great tour and I really recommend it.
