Historic gem - Guide was fabulous. Tikal is an amazing place. Lodge was comfortable and right at Tikal. Guide was very knowledgeable about history and significance of sites. Also about flora and fauna. Saw Monkees playing in trees. Guide helped with photography.

Best tour ever! - We booked a private tour beginning at 6:30am from Tikal as we stayed locally the night before. Marlon met us at the hotel and we had such an amazing adventure exploring Tikal. Marlon is a wealth of knowledge on so many subjects and we really enjoyed hearing about his own history in the area and interests (he shared with us about his regenerative farming practices which was fascinating). He went out of his way to show us an emerald toucan’s nest and we were able to see the toucan as well, which was fantastic! Along the way he was very flexible with letting us take photos, explore, ask more questions and when we would get to certain spots gave us the option to cut things short or take the long route (we always picked the long route lol). The included lunch was so so yummy! This was one of the best tours I’ve ever been on and I highly recommend Marlon and Tikal. You will not regret it! Definitely do as early as you can if you’re there in the hot weather, we were so glad we did!

The ultimate guide to visit Tikal with - This was, easily, one of the best tours I’ve ever done. Marlon is incredibly attentive and very knowledgeable about Tikal. He had an incredible amount of well-based, science-backed facts about the site. Walking with him through the ancient city is like having contact with the past through the eyes of someone who dedicates themselves not only to learning about the history, but also to taking care of Tikal. While we walked our 10km in that day, Marlon was always picking up garbage (unfortunately) left by other people on the ground. This seems small but it shows you that you’re touring with someone who deeply cares about the site. I also hired pick-up and drop-off at the Flores airport. He was extremely punctual and cordial all the way. Wish I could give him 6 stars

Excellent guide - Me guide, Alberto, was amazing. He was very knowledgeable of the park, and made sure I was okay with the heat. The experience was smooth from the airport pick up to the tour and lunch. I highly recommend this tour if you want to see the park in a day.

First time visit...Great Experience - We had an amazing time with Henry as our guide. He was very friendly and informative. His knowledge of the area made the hiking between ruins seem much easier. If you plan a visit, I highly recommend. Great communication prior and during the tour.

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.
