Great place to explore. We had a tropical storm hit and it brought tropical downpours but we still made the trek to the ruins. Although I stayed on solid ground at times under a protected shelter, my… Full review by 520christenp

An outstanding experience! The hand-cranked ferry was a treat, and the Myan complex itself was unlike anything we'd ever seen. We went without a guide and spent about two hours at the site. The visit… Full review by Ed M

Amazing view and tons of history. Be ready to walk and bring water but very worth the time and money. Going to the top of the ruin was a hike to remember Full review by Nmhst

If you hire the guide on the other side of river, they would have to ride in the vehicle with you uphill to the ruins or you would have to wait for them to walk up the hill and meet your group. That would mean you had to wait for them before going in and exploring on your own. The COVID restriction being the wait time (guide not in vehicle) and having someone outside your group in close contact (in vehicle). Time for exploring and risk not amount of exploring

Q:
We will be driving ourselves and I see on some posts this was done. Was is an easy drive...did you need to use a GPS? We will be driving from Belmopan. Very helpful to know you can get a tour guide at the Ruin.
A:

Sorry I just received this. I was dealing with a very sick husband. Xunantunich is amazing and you can climb to the very top. You can take pictures but can't use a drone. We had a great guide through our hotel. I hope you went and enjoyed it.
