Tikal is amazing - This was by far the highlight of the trip to Guatemala. The van was clean and had AC, the process to enter the park was simple, and the experience was amazing. We saw all kinds of jungle animals, and the ruins were amazing. We would definitely rebook this tour.

Wish I could give more than 5 stars - Marlon gave us an amazing tour. His knowledge is unmatched, and we were so impressed by how he knew the details of the dynasties and dates for every building. He also had wonderful insights into the flora and fauna, and modern and ancient history and politics. Most importantly, he customized the tour for us and was super helpful with and kind to my mom, who accompanied us and has limited vision. This tour was the highlight of our time in Guatemala. Thank you for the memories!

The perfect guide! - Marlon is the perfect guide for Maya’s sites and culture. He his smart, highly cultured, and speaks a perfect english. He’s also a very safe driver. We spent 3 days together, and we highly recomend him. The Maya’s sites are unbelievable, very wild, surrounded by virgin forest, with few people, far from Mexico's hyper-touristy sites.

Amazing experience with GEM Trips - We had an amazing day tour of Tikal with Marlon. He picked us up at our location in Flores (air conditioned car),and returned us to same place. From the beginning to the end of trip we engaged in wonderful conversations about the place, the history and all the meaningful things related to the area. Marlon is a very educated , kind and professional guide, we enjoyed our interaction with him and appreciated his service which included a great traditional lunch. We truly recommend him for anyone interested in a tour of Tikal !

Gem Trips is a gem! - Our Tikal tour with Marlon was top notch. Not only was he an excellent tour guide for the ruins, but he also is incredibly knowledgeable about the plants and animals in the park. He was able to customize the experience to our needs and interests. I would recommend this tour to anyone! Furthermore, he was able to arrange transportation from Flores to Belize City. On the way, we stopped at the astoundingly beautiful and fascinating Barton Creek Cave where he was able to book a private tour for us with a local guide. Gem Trips is an excellent company and Marlon is responsive, resourceful, and extremely well-informed. I give them my complete endorsement!
