Review of the private Yaxha tour from Flores, with temple views, Maya history, lunch, transport, costs, tips, and practical advice.
“We warmly recommend a tour with this company (especially Calvin for us), Calvin is a guide a passioned by history and nature of hi country that’s why he share so easily his knowledge! First we only wanted to see Yaxha but at the end of the day we had booked for the next morning the Tikal sunrise with them. In addition to the tour he arranged us plenty of facilities (transport to the airport...) Fidias (the driver) was as well a very professional and kind. Thank again for the unforgettable experience!”
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”
Review of the 2-day Tikal and Yaxha trip by air from Guatemala City, with flights, guides, jungle ruins, hotel, meals, costs, and tips.
“Incredible! We had an absolutely lovely time on this trip. Everyone was punctual with pick up and drop off. The airport and inter country travel was seamless. The flight was only 45 minutes so not bad at all. It was extremely hot and humid (we were there during “summer”) but the archeological and nature aspects far outweighed any temporary discomfort from the heat. We would 100% recommend this tour including the overnight stay at La Laguna.”

Review of the 2-day Tikal and Yaxha trip from Antigua, with flights, jungle ruins, guides, hotel, meals, costs, and practical tips.
“The tour was expensive, I was not sure why it cost so much, but it was the only way to book to see the sites in the time available, so I booked it anyway. I found on the way once it was started, when I got to the airport at Tikal end that I was booked into a very pricey upmarket and remote hotel on the north shore of the lake for the overnight stay. There were no options given, this was booked upfront. This must have added considerably to the price I do not have a breakdown, nor how much Viator and the agent Guatemalan Adventures took as their…”

Explore Tikal and Yaxha from Flores on a two-day Mayan ruins tour with guided visits, meals, hotel transport, and jungle views.
“Great tour. Both guides very knowledgeable and friendly. Definitely bring hiking boots or very sturdy shoes. Pack a rain jacket too because it just sometimes starts to rain. The views from the temples and pyramids are spectacular Climb them all if you can. Bring a lot of water- two tall bottles each. The sites offer drinks and the prices are high. The hotel Villa de Maya is very nicely maintained with friendly staff. It is a bit secluded and not on the island of Flores. They do offer transport for a fee. The restaurant serves amazing food. I would take this excursion again.”
