A unique experience. Elmer the guide and Hannibal the driver picked us up at the airport. Super professionals and Elmer very friendly and knowledgeable. They accommodated the trip according to our interests. We went to breakfast by Lake Peten Itza very beautiful. Then we went to the Tikal and they provided us with water, umbrella, repellents and everything we could need. At the end they took us to lunch super delicious and before taking us back to the airport we took a little tour of Flores Island and ate a delicious cheesecake in Delirio. 100% recommended

This tour was very well done. It was my favorite tour I had in Guatemala. Elmer was so knowledgeable about Tikal, the Mayan civilization, and Guatemalan history. It was 100% worth the price of the tour. Elmer was also very kind. I highly recommend!

Elmer did a great job showing us Tikal and also the wildlife we wanted to see! He made sure we were comfortable and well taken care off from start to finish. Tikal was amazing, and so was Elmer. He also recommended great restaurants and boat tours in Flores.

Elmer's knowledge of the site and its history made this an excellent tour. We spent over 4 hours with Elmer and he was constantly coming up with information to paint a vivid picture of Mayan life at Tikal.

Fantastic!!! We were picked up at the airport for the excursion to Tikal. First we stopped for breakfast and continued to Tikal. Great knowledge of the archaeological area and the passion for the subject was noticeable. The vehicle very comfortable and new. I definitely recommend it. Worth it.

The guided visit with Elmer was terrific. He is extremely knowledgeable and knew the site inside out so that we could take shortcuts or avoid big groups, and he could lead us to pathways that were less strenuous than others. He integrated what we were seeing with interesting history and was able to answer all of our questions. He is also very personable and we had a really lovely day.

It was a totally private tour, and the guide was super nice!! We took our daughter of 1 and half year old so we were worried if she would be really tired ( even us ) but it was totally fine because the guide didn’t rush us or anything so we could go in our pase. He had so much knowledge about Tikal and I felt his passion about it! It was so much fun to know about the history and details of Tikal. And our daughter enjoyed it so much! The guide was really kind to her too! Moreover the restaurant was so good too, he took us one outside of the park. We are so glad that we chose this tour. Thank you so much. 完全なプライベートツアーでとても快適で楽しかったです。一歳半の娘を広いティカルに連れて行くのが心配でしたが、ガイドさんがとてもやさしく私たちのペースで行かせてくれたので全く問題ありませんでした!

We had an amazing experience with Tikal VIP Exclusive Tour! We were traveling as a family with three young kids, and everything was handled with care and professionalism from start to finish. Our guide Elmer was outstanding—knowledgeable, kind, and incredibly patient with the kids. He brought the ruins of Tikal and the surrounding jungle to life, explaining everything in both English and Spanish so everyone could enjoy and understand the rich history and culture. The transportation was excellent: clean, comfortable, and punctual. It made a big difference having such a smooth and well-organized tour, especially with children in tow. This was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Guatemala. Highly recommend Tikal VIP to anyone looking for a personalized, family-friendly, and educational experience at Tikal!
