View on Google MapsAmazing experience to see these ancient Mayan ruins. The day trip is made though by the insight, stories, and friendliness provided by our guide Elmer. He is the best and anyone who gets him as a guide should consider themselves lucky.
Elmer our guide was very friendly and full of knowledge about Tikal and its history. He made me and my kids fall in love with Tikal. Wonderful guide, highly recommended!
I can’t imagine a better tour guide - Elmer has an unbelievable knowledge of his country and did a perfect job - no improvement possible because we were perfectly happy. Highly recommended!

A great way to get the best from a once in a lifetime visit to Tikal. Our driver and guide, Daniel, was lovely, knowledgable and great company. He gave super insights to the history and natural history of this amazing site, adapting the length of the tour to suit our wishes (we love hiking and wanted to include as many temples as possible).
Excellent visit, recommend the Location in Islas de Flores. Close to the airport and TIKAL a few minutes. Staying in Isla de Flores is cozy and quiet, has very good restaurants for all tastes. You can make safe walks both day and night.
Gerver was very knowledgeable about Tikal. Also, learned a lot about Guatemala. Our driver Anival was excellent. Thnx
We had an amazing tour of Tikal with Elmer and Tikal VIP. We had done a tour of Yaxha earlier in the week and were impressed enough that by the end of the day we coordinated a non-standard tour of Tikal directly with Elmer. They were very accommodating about adjusting their normal schedule to fit our timeline, lowering the cost to account for us having pre-purchased Tikal entry tickets, providing transportation that did not return to the original starting location, and storing/protecting our luggage during the tour since we were moving to a new location afterward. The decision to go with Tikal VIP again was definitely the right one. As before the driver was very safe and vehicle new and good for the types of road. Elmer, the company owner and our guide, was fantastic. He is very knowledgeable and eager to share information about Mayan history, the archeology and research behind the information, the flora and fauna of the jungle, as well as general Guatemalan society.
Our guide is called Bayron and it was really a pleasure his teachings and appreciation, the information he shared was a true approach to Mayan culture, far from the false stories invented by outsider archaeologists for hundreds of years. It was very pleasing to be accompanied by a native with his stories full of wisdom, humility and respect for the Mayan culture, telling us the true meanings both archaeologically and cosmogically and spiritually of this immense civilization. A wealth and pride for the heart and memory of our ancestors, the Mayans of the world’s oldest and wisest populations. I also personally thank you as you answered all my doubts because I went earlier to the Museum of archaeology of Guatemala and there are no explanations of the original pieces that they preserve there. Wholeheartedly grateful. My name is Laura and I write also on behalf of my father Gustavo and my sister Andrea (Sosa family, from Argentina)
The best guide ever! Thank you Byron you're an amazing guide!!! Thanks guayito our driver! Recomendado 100% Toda la dedicación de Byron y conocimiento además de paciencia y atención.
Elmer was fantastic and I highly recommend this tour to any and all. Very easy for me and my companions from start to finish. Elmer was more than informed, and a true expert. He told facts and stories and even joked with us, very engaging, and helped us realize our dream vacation. He also spoke very good English - better than most Americans! The timing of the tour was also pristine and we had no unwanted surprises. Again, highly recommend and very glad to have done this tour!
