5.00My husband and I were picked up by our tour guide, Amando, and his driver. On the way to lunch at a restaurant he was talking about the history of the Mayans and about Yaxha and Tikal parks. Lunch was delicious, and soon after we arrived at the park where we received our tickets to start our tour. It was a slow, easy pace with many stops to learn about the temples, stellas and cosway’s we saw along the way. Amando explained things in perfect detail and in an excitement to share everything about this area and their history that peaked my interest. We climbed temples, took breaks, stopped to watch spider monkeys play and drink water. Soon enough we arrived at the sunset viewing spot. The view was breathtaking. When we arrived back at the car, his driver had cold towels for us to wipe our faces, and cold water as well. It was the perfect end to the tour. When they dropped us off at our hotel, we sincerely thanked them for a memorable tour. I would highly recommend taking a tour with this company.
Amazing tour through the jungle

5.00This was a last minute decision and I am so happy we decided to book this private tour! Everything was just perfect. From the lunch to the personalized tour. Our driver was very safe and our guide, Miguel Antonio was full of knowledge. I hadn’t heard about Yaxha before visiting Flores and had the best time in the ancient Mayan archeological site. Worth the visit
