Tikal Private Tour from Flores Guatemala with Transportation

This is one of the best tours we’ve gone on anywhere in the world. Elmer, our guide was so knowledgeable about the Mayan history and culture of Tikal. It was an extensive tour which is what we wanted. He took the time to answer all our questions. And he pointed out birds and monkeys while we walked through the jungle starting with two beautiful toucans at the entrance. You couldn’t get a better guide and we highly recommend this tour. Our driver Daniel was excellent and he took the time to drive safely to the site which is one hour and twenty minutes away from Flores. And we were promptly picked up at 6:30.

The VIP experience allowed us to make the most of our visit and our guide Kendel was able to explain in detail what to know and see throughout the tour ... Kendel is an excellent guide who knows and communicates his in-depth knowledge very well. Moreover it is very care with us and the transport from Flores to Tikal is very safe ... without hesitation I recommend this tour with Kendel. Imagine we could even choose our departure time!

This was my second tour with Elmer at Tikal VIP Tours. My first tour was in October 2022 and it was so excellent that I wanted Elmer to be our guide when my husband and I visited Tikal in January 2026. He is so knowledgeable, passionate, kind and welcoming, I would highly recommend Tikal VIP tours to anyone looking for a top-notch guided tour of the archeological site and jungle.

My experience with Tikal VIP Tours was exceptional - communication, ease of payment, quality of vehicle, quality of guide and driver. My 5 year old son and I absolutely loved our morning with Elmer and Fidias. They’d thought of everything - cold drinks, umbrellas and adapted our visit to Tikal to keep my son entertained. Would recommend in a heartbeat!

We had an amazing morning with Elmer. He was so knowledgable and passionate about the Tikal site! We learnt so much! He was also very accommodating and flexible - we wanted to change the timings of our tour and he allowed us to do this the night before. Thank you Elmer!

All the five-star reviews of Elmer are completely justified! He really brought Tikal alive for me - with his incredibly deep knowledge of the Mayan civilisation and history. He was punctual on the day, having arranged a car and driver to take us to the site. He went at my pace and could not have been more accommodating or helpful. I strongly recommend that anyone who is visiting Flores seeks out Elmer, as he will be able to turn a short visit into memories of a lifetime.

Exceptional guide (Elmer). Incredibly kind and knowledgeable about more than just Tikal. Very good English and couldn’t ask for more from the tour.

The guide Elmer was very competent, reliable and friendly. All agreements were kept. His expertise was impressive

We did two private tours with Tikal Vip Tours: one in Tikal and the second in Yaxha and Topoxte. Both were well organized and took place according to schedule. We particularly enjoyed our guide to Tikal, Noah, which gave us a lot of interesting information not only about the site visited but, more generally, about the country.

Good guide, strived for us to enjoy our tour. In one day we were able to know the most important of the ruins, surrounding places and taste some of the local cuisine.
