Tikal Family Trip - Elmer is a guide with over 10 years of experience in North Guatemala and is a wealth of information, historical, cultural, and environmental. My family and I spent the day with him in Tikal and would highly recommend him as you will get so much more out of Tikal with him as your guide. His enthusiasm even kept our teenagers engaged!

Thank you, Elmer! - We did a private tour of Tikal with Elmer in January 2025 and loved everything about the experience. Elmer and his colleague coordinated pick-up and drop-off at our hotel. They were on time, the van was clean and comfortable, and they anticipated every detail of the day so we didn't have to worry about it, including a stop at a great lunch spot and offering to take photos. Most importantly, Elmer is an expert in his field, and offered us an incredible overview of Mayan history and culture in Guatemala and the region and answered all of our questions. We really enjoyed spending the day with him and would recommend him for anyone looking to visit Tikal!

Great day at Tikal with Gelver - Tikal is truly awe-inspiring, and Gelver brought it to life for us. He is highly educated and extremely knowledgeable about everything related to Tikal: Mayan history and culture, animals and natural environment, astronomy, language, etc. We had a private tour, and he allowed us to go at our own pace. We never felt rushed or pressured, and he was able to show us some out-of-the-way areas as well as the major sites. I actually ran into him the next day as he was leading another tour, and he took the time to answer some additional questions. Gelver definitely helped us to get the most from our visit.

Unexpectedly Great Tour of Tikal - Elmer was a fantastic tour guide! We booked a private all day tour and Elmer and his driver arrived on time with a very clean and comfortable passenger van. He provided an overview of the day and then we set out for Tikal. I was carrying a large DSLR camera to photograph the ruins and Elmer was helpful as a juggled between lenses to capture panorama and telephoto pictures. He helped point out at least 20 different kinds of birds and animals. Our tour was a combination of the best parts of Tikal and some of the less traveled areas - which was great. We learned several things about the history of the area, the architecture and construction techniques. Elmer’s English is also very good. Upon return to the car, our driver was waiting with the AC already having cooled the van. We stopped for a wonderful local lunch on the return. Great experience all around!!!

Very Pro Guide - The tour was very good, Elmer is a Guide with a great knowledge of archaeology who told us in detail the whole history of Tikal. He also has a lot of knowledge of the flora and fauna of the area. We made the tour calmly throughout the compound, also observing the animals and plants that we were encountering. The vehicle with which we transported from Flores to Tikal was spotless and the journey was very pleasant.
