Book w/ Elmer. You won’t regret it! - Elmer was amazing! Very knowledgeable and easy to have a conversation with. He knows his history and makes sure to go at your pace. The drive to Tikal is very comfortable and w/the A/C running, which is great on a hot day. Lunch was also really really good! Would recommend 100%.

Wonderful Time in Tikal - My final full day in Guatemala saw me in Flores waiting for my private driver to pick me up and take me to the ancient Mayan city of Tikal. My driver Fidias and guide Luis were both phenomenal. The tour company was very helpful in assisting me in booking and very communicative. Elmer chatted with me on WhatsApp to help me resolve some confusion and kept in contact to make sure I always knew what to expect before my trip.
After I was picked up Luis and I chatted as we drove to Tikal. We stopped so I could get some snacks and then finished our drive to Tikal to pick up two other women from the Tikal Jungle Lodge to join us on our tour.
Luis was very knowledgeable and passionate about Tikal and it was a joy to listen to his tour and to hear his passion for Tikal and the Mayan culture. He catered to our interests and introduced us to the local flora and fauna as well as the ruins.
I originally had wanted to do a sunset tour but during the rainy season it was not being offered, but I still saw lots of wildlife including pheasants, monkeys, and sooo many coatis.
He taught us about some of the local plants and their uses (one tasted like lemons and one tasted like bitter regret.)
I had a marvelous time. On our way back Fidias took me to get my included lunch at an adorable restaurant and we chatted in broken Spanish and English on our way back to drop me off in Flores at my hostel.

Tikal private Tour from Flores - This tour was a really enjoyable from the pick up and drop off. José Luis and our driver were really informative and accommodating thought out the trip. The vehicle was nice and air conditioned with complimentary beverages. I would definitely recommend if you want a personalized and private trip to Tikal.

Visit Tikal in the hands of an expert guide. - Elmer studied tourism and culture at University and made an enthusiastic and excellent guide. He was tremendously knowledgeable, courteous, fun and he had a very good command of English. We learnt much during our tour, both about the ruins and the natural environment. We recommend Elmer as a guide.

A memory lane back to the Mayan times - This was an absolute gem trip. We felt like being transported back in time to the Mayan period. Abel, our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and his passion could be felt. The whole trip was arranged to perfection and worth the premium price.

Get this one! - Absolutely amazing! Tikal was breathtaking. We went to Chichen Itza after, and Tikal was still the highlight of the trip. It was one of the best experiences of our lives, maybe even #1! We appreciated Elmer's knowledge and insight into the Maya. We are still talking about it to everyone we meet. We will definitely be back someday in the future! This guy is the best!!!
