Belize City to Bacalar Destination Reviews

Instead of the advised 4,5hours it took us more than 7 hours. We started later. Not at 12.20 but around 1pm. 2 people hat to sit on the extra seats. And in chatumey we had to change the bus again. That would all be okay if they didn't advertise with the 4.5h instead of the 6.5h like other companies. At the border, the driver drove without counting. One person was missing, luckily we drew attention to it.
