“I booked a tour for a group of 14 friends and we had an amazing time! Every part of the experience was top notch, from the huge air conditioned bus that picked us up at our hotel to the delicious lunch served at the end of our trip. The best part of the trip (besides seeing the astonishing archaeological sites) was our tour guide Roel - he was extremely knowledgeable about not only the history of the site but also the local nature and animals and went the extra mile to make sure we were comfortable and having a great time. Walking to the top of a few of the…”

“I took the 4:30am tour which is a good option as it is less busy and less hot. You stop at a restaurant before going to the park and you can have breakfast and drink coffee. You walk around for 3-4h and you can go up on some temples. Alberto was our guide and he knew everything about the place and the history of mayas. Really cool!”

“It was fantastic! Easy pick up and drop off to airport. Our guide Loyd was super knowledgeable about Tikal. He spoke with great passion. Spoke fluent English and Spanish.

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…”

So I went back to room thinking tour wasn't taking place. 20 minutes later the finally show up and knock on my door which I obviously could not hear. Finally I got a message from them but did not notice it until after they left. I asked if I could go on a later tour due to miscommunication but they were unyielding and took cities of video camera to prove their presence…”
