Great driver and service - Driver was on time and very friendly. Great service provided and offered a stop to a local restaurant. They also updated a private shuttle to the airport. The driver offered a tour and waited while toured the pyramids

Best private Tikal tour - An excellent private tour. The pickup and dropoff were seamless. They even provided nice, sturdy umbrellas and ponchos because of the rain.

Best private tikal tour - These guys were amazing, my guide and the driver both. Communication was excellent, they picked me promptly from my hotel, and they were very friendly. My guide was very experienced, and he knew routes that steered away from crowds, so I was able to see all the buildings without having to wait for other tour group crowds. He was very flexible as well, willing to make changes to the tour based on my needs. I would highly recommend a private tour instead of a group tour, especially with these guys. You get to go at your own pace, and dont have to wait for other people in your group, allowing you to see more in less time. Highly recommended, thank you guys!

Perfect Tour!! - I went with Elmer to Yaxha and Tikal on back to back days, and it was something I will remember forever! He’s extremely educated on the Mayan civilization and each city’s history. Great with dates and timelines. He is unbelievably educated on their histories, and the nature around as well. You will see so many jungle animals!! I cannot recommend this tour more. He will cater the tour to your interests organically, and is a fantastic photographer!! I will be returning to Guatemala and going more places with him, and back to Tikal as soon as I can. Truly a wonderful experience.
