“You get nearly 6 hours in the park with an incredibly knowledgable guide, the sunset is more beautiful than you’d expect, and you get a fair bit of free time to explore different spots. Make sure you take LOTS of water as it’s so hot in the park”

“It was a great tour, the only feedback would be that it was very off schedule. We departed late, returned late, etc. But the guide was excellent.”
Review of Tikal’s private sunset tour from Flores, with VIP guiding, Lost World pyramid views, wildlife, transport, price, and practical tips.
“Elmer was an excellent tour guide from beginning to end. We did the private sunset tour - it was slightly more expensive than a similar group tour but included entry which helps you to skip the queue making it almost the same price. Elmer has so much knowledge to impart and really tailors the experience to your interests. He was very patient while we took thousands of pictures of birds and told us everything he knew about the local wildlife as well as the Tikal site. We learnt about the Mayan people throughout the ages up to today. He also gave us great recommendations for local restaurants and tours to…”

“We had an incredible experience with Tikal Express Tours! My partner and I booked both a sunset and sunrise guided tour of Tikal and thoroughly enjoyed it. Booking a guide is so so worth it as they are local, knowledgeable, and passionate about Tikal. We had sunset with Eddie and sunrise with Luis and they were both AMAZING! We learned so much that we’d never learn if we just explored it ourselves. Also, if you want to see Tikal at sunrise or sunset, it is necessary to go with a guide. We were able to see tons of wildlife including parrots, toucans, howler and spider monkeys, and coatis! Animals are…”
Review of the private Yaxha sunset tour from Flores, with temple views, lakes, wildlife, guide Elmer, transport, price, and practical tips.
“Elmer is an exceptional guide, one of the best I've had in any country. He is passionate about archaeology in all cultures, a passion that goes far beyond the sites where he leads tours. If you have visited archaeological or architectural sites in other countries, you can exchange travel stories with him and you will find an excellent listener and audience. He is patient, polite, curious, and full of interesting facts about ancient Mayan culture. He taught me a few phrases in Spanish and I taught him a few in English, which made us both very happy since we are both always trying to improve. He brings cold water bottles…”

Explore Yaxha from Flores with a sunset at Temple 216, Maya ruins, forest trails, wildlife, transport, entrance, and a guide for $55.
“The guide was knowledgeable but maybe counting on us to ask the questions. I was expecting more explanations about the site and Maya culture from him, though he did speak about the local wildlife. The tour felt a bit disorganised, I had to inquire about the included entry to Yaxha (whereas the instructions from one of the guides on the bus was simply to get in line and buy a ticket). The tour is advertised as being "small groups (”

“We had an amazing trip with Miguel. The site is absolutely amazing with fewer tourists than Tikal but so much to see. In addition, the animals and wildlife are a great addition. Sunset was great at the top of a pyramid and walking out of the site as it turned dark allowed us to see and hear much of the wildlife as well”
