Hello!

I'm organizing a trip for myself and seven friends to Placencia. I've been to Belize before and really enjoyed taking buses all over, but for this trip I am need of a shuttle or private driver recommendation to take eight of us from BZE to Placencia!

I found these guys: http://www.belizeshuttlesandtransfers.com/Placencia-Shuttle.php but they don't return emails or answer the phone...

I did some scouring through the forums here but really only found info on buses and the Hokey Pokey ferry. Can anyone recommend a shuttle service or private driver that can transport eight adults?

Also, in case you're wondering, we don't want to rent a car. Thanks!

Thank you for any suggestions you may have.

I've read some negative comments on another travel forum about the transfer service you mentioned.

For your trip, I'd suggest contacting:
a) William’s Belize Shuttle, www.parrot-nest.com/belize_shuttle.html
b) Discounted Belize Shuttles and Tours,
http://discountedbelizeshuttlesandtours.com/index.html

Both have received positive comments. William is based in the Cayo district.

There are other transfer services. Here are a few based in northern Belize...
c) Belize VIP Transfer Service, http://www.belizetransfers.com
d) George & Esther Moralez Travel Service,
http://www.gettransfers.com
e) Gibson’s Tours and Transfers,
http://www.gibsonstoursandtransfers.com/index.html

I've seen the vehicles & some drivers for c) & d) -- vehicles are in new condition and the drivers appeared professional & courteous.

These are listed on the Belize Bus & Travel Guide (the link is on my profile page)
