🚐 Private vs. Shared Tours in Belize: Pacz Tours Offers Both

When planning your trip to Belize, one of the first choices you’ll face is whether to book a private tour or join a shared group tour. At Pacz Tours, we’re proud to offer both options, because every traveler is different.

Whether you’re a solo backpacker, a couple on a budget, or a family looking for flexibility, we’ll make sure you get the experience that’s right for you.

👥 Shared Group Tours

What They Are:

  • Join a small group of travelers (typically 6–12 people depending on the tour).
  • Everyone shares the same vehicle, guide, and schedule.

Benefits:

  • Affordable – lower cost per person.
  • Social – meet fellow travelers from around the world.
  • Structured – fixed itineraries mean everything runs smoothly.

Best With Pacz:

  • Solo travelers or couples who enjoy making connections.
  • Backpackers on a budget.
  • Popular tours like ATM Cave, Xunantunich, and Cave Tubing, where shared departures run almost daily.

🚐 Private Tours

What They Are:

  • Your own vehicle, driver, and guide.
  • Flexible timing and itinerary, tailored to your group’s interests.

Benefits:

  • Flexibility – start early, stay longer, or adjust stops.
  • Privacy – perfect for families, couples, or groups of friends.
  • Personalized – guides adapt pace, focus, and storytelling just for you.
  • Comfort – no waiting on others or rushing to keep up.

Best With Pacz:

  • Families with kids who need flexibility.
  • Couples seeking a private, romantic adventure.
  • Groups of 4–8 who want to maximize value and convenience.
