Louigi Turton
Founder / Tour Guide




Louigi Turton, Owner of Belize Fun Tours, was born in Belize City and has dedicated more than three decades of his life to Belize's tourism industry. His journey began with challenges that shaped his resilience, perspective, and deep appreciation for people and culture from an early age.
Born with club feet, Louigi underwent corrective surgeries at the age of three at Shriners Hospital in St. Louis, Missouri. During this period, he lived in Golconda, Illinois, where he attended Pope County Elementary School and was supported by two host families, the Simmons and the Adkersons. These formative years instilled in him a strong sense of gratitude, adaptability, and community. Louigi proudly says he grew up with "three mothers and three fathers," a reflection of the care and guidance that helped shape his life.
After returning to Belize, Louigi continued his education and built a long and respected career in tourism. He is a licensed tour guide with extensive hands-on experience across the country, spanning cultural, historical, adventure, and nature-based travel.
While much of his time is spent overseeing the management and operations of the business, Louigi regularly puts on his guide's cap, as his true passion remains being out in the field, connecting with guests, sharing stories, and bringing Belize to life through firsthand experiences.
Louigi has a deep passion for travel and food, having visited over 30 states in the United States and more than 20 countries around the world. While he enjoys discovering new cultures and savoring diverse cuisines, nothing compares to his ultimate favorite, classic Belizean rice and beans cooked in coconut milk, prepared over an open flame in the traditional way.
Before founding Belize Fun Tours, Louigi spent many years providing marketing support, operational logistics, and tour coordination for resorts and tour operators throughout Belize. This behind-the-scenes experience gave him a clear understanding of what guests value most, thoughtful planning, reliability, and genuine, well-executed experiences.
Belize Fun Tours was created as a natural extension of that experience, bringing together strong local partnerships, personalized service, and a deep respect for Belize's people, culture, and landscapes. Louigi remains closely involved in day-to-day operations to ensure every guest receives the care, professionalism, and attention that reflect both his personal journey and lifelong commitment to Belize tourism.
