Tikal is amazing... the right guide is key - Wow that was early, but worth it to be in the jungle starting at 4AM, hearing the rainforest wake up, seeing the monkeys and birds (no jaguar spotting sadly). Jose Moreno was our guide. He did a great job - very interesting guy, super knowledgable about Tikal and the Mayans. We learned a lot and enjoyed the view at the top of the temple for sunrise.

Such a great experience - We took the morning tour and had a fantastic experience! Our guide, Marlon, was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about Tikal and Mayan culture. He made us feel truly welcome and even brought binoculars for us to use. The included meal was delicious, too. Highly recommend—10/10! Marlon is outstanding.

Fantastic experience - Marlon is one of the best guides we have ever used, cannot go wrong hiring him. Personable, knowledgeable and very kind. Knows the history, flora, fauna, archeology, birds….and what he doesn’t know he finds it for you! Fantastic experience.

Memorable Tikal sunrise tour; Marlon was first-class guide - We spent an unforgettable day touring Tikal with Marlon Diaz of Gem Trips. Marlon's tour management was flawless from start to finish and he really made the tour a seamless experience by arranging breakfast, lunch and transport from Tikal to Flores. On top of this, his guiding was superb with a unique mix of detailed historical knowledge and natural history. Tikal is a national park with many varieties of birds, flora, and fauna and to properly understand this aspect of Tikal, you really need a guide like Marlon with a naturalist background. We would strongly recommend Gem Trips and Marlon to other travelers.

Highly recommended - We were very pleased with this tour - we were picked up from the hotel in Flores on time and were lucky that there were only two of us. On the way there was already a catering (coffee, cookies, etc.) After a short hike through the national park in the dark you reach the first temple, from where you can watch the sunrise and awakening of the jungle. We had enough time there to enjoy the view and our breakfast. Afterwards Marlon took us through the national park, showed us a variety of animals as well as Mayan ruins and shared his knowledge with us. He left us everywhere enough time to watch / take photos. Afterwards we had a very delicious lunch before returning. We would recommend everyone the tour during sunrise!

Unforgettable sunrise tour with Marlon and GEM trips - Our sunrise tour with Marlon was incredible! On top of a very well planned morning, Marlon was super friendly and knowledgeable about every single aspect of Tikal. He has a deep understanding of Mayan history and Peten wildlife, pointing out and discussing everything from each bird species we saw to plant varieties to nuances in Mayan architecture. Logistically, the meals were well thought out and the drive was made easy. Highly recommend.

Awesome Sunrise Tikal tour - Let me start this off by saying… if you are trying to decide which company to go with, go with this one! Marlon was awesome! He was extremely communicative from the moment we booked til after the trip with additional local suggestions. In all of our travels we never had a more passionate, knowledgeable guide. Highly recommend the sunrise tour to beat the heat and crowds. Picked up at our hotel on time in a comfortable vehicle. All arrangements made to get into the park easily. Tikal ground tour was well through out and to top it off we had clear views in the skies, saw monkeys, many varieties of birds on top of the wonder sites of the temples and Tikal grounds.

Must do!!! - 5 ️100%!!!!! We travel alot and have taken many many tours over the years and this was hands down the BEST tour/tourguide weve had! Marlon was AMAZING! He was super communicative leading up to the trip to make sure we had all the relevant info and to make sure everything was in order ahead of time (pickup time, location, tickets, what to bring, etc.) He was prompt on pickup and gave us a rundown on how the day would go. He was SO polite, fun, and KNOWLEDGEABLE!!!!!!!! Got to the park and getting checked in was super qsmooth, enjoyed some morning coffee he prepared and had a quick traditional breakfast cookie before we hit the path into the park to catch the beautiful sunrise atop temple IV (a must see), then a breakfast he prepared while taking in the view! Then down to what was such an informative tour by Marlon. He knew all the spots, animals, sounds, plants, history, and had the answers to ALL of our question!! He provided snacks along the way and we finished with a good lunch at the Jaguar restaurant. If you get a chance to visit Tikal...... book a tour with them!!!!!!! Trust me, you will NOT regret it or get a better tour. THANK YOU MARLON FOR MAKING OUR TRIP TO TIKAL UNFORGETTABLE!!!!
