    Henri and Ariel were excellent. Henri is very knowledgeable about local flaura, fauna, and Mayan history and culture. The included lunch at the jaguar restaurant was delicious! Finally, we forgot a phone in the car at the end of the day and Ariel drove it back to us. Gracias!

    Our guide, Marlon, gave us a great tour of Tikal for half a day and it was absolutely lovely! We were first picked up by a driver at the Flores airport, and made our way to Tikal, where we met Marlon. We had a lovely lunch which was included in the rate of the tour. We then started our hike through the sites of Tikal, and Marlon was very knowledgable about the flora, fauna, history, and the various structures. Marlon then returned us back to Flores to continue our trip. It was a very good experience for us, and it was engaging for both adults and children.

    Me guide, Alberto, was amazing. He was very knowledgeable of the park, and made sure I was okay with the heat. The experience was smooth from the airport pick up to the tour and lunch. I highly recommend this tour if you want to see the park in a day.
