Definitely recommended - We did two private tours with Tikal Vip Tours: one in Tikal and the second in Yaxha and Topoxte. Both were well organized and took place according to schedule. We particularly enjoyed our guide to Tikal, Noah, which gave us a lot of interesting information not only about the site visited but, more generally, about the country.

Visit to Tikal - Good guide, strived for us to enjoy our tour. In one day we were able to know the most important of the ruins, surrounding places and taste some of the local cuisine.

Excellent bucket list experience - Excellent experience. We were picked up at 3:30am, drove to the park which was one hour away and then walked to the ruins to see the sunset. The van was new with good air in, very good suspension and our driver was very attentive to give us a safe and enjoyable drive. Our guide was very good and explained all about the history of the site and had excellent eyes and attentive ears to help spot different animals. We were given a true welcome by the howler monkeys as we walked through the forest and saw many parrots and even a toucan as we ascended to the top of the ruins. Highly recommend the sunrise tour as you do not feel the scorching heat and humidity.

The best time - Our tour around Tikal with Elmer was phenomenal. Elmer was so friendly, personable, knowledgeable and had all the answers to any questions we had. He genuinely wanted us to have the best experience possible and made sure we got it. They were also able to cater to our dietary requirements, which was really appreciated. The tour was one of the highlights of our excellent time in Guatemala. Would highly recommend 😊

Good tour of Peten - Very good choice as Peten tour, we did Yaxha, Tikkal and the Blue Crater. Hannibal is a great driver, he has accompanied us very well the three days. Oscar great knowledgeable of the Mayan world, taught us the secrets of Yaxha. Elmer, impressive, took us into both the Mayan world and the animal world of the jungle. We are very grateful

Best Tikal Private Tour! - We've been in Guate for two weeks and this was absolutely our favorite experience! Our guide Francisco was such a pleasure to hike around and talk with. He was knowledgeable on everything from Tikal, to the jungle and animals, ancient Mayan history and local history of Flores and lake Petén Itza. It was more like chatting with a friend than hearing a script like some tours. Transportation is a clean, air conditioned vehicle that arrives early. They also stopped for us to get tickets and provided us with extra water before entering the park. Enjoy this highly recommended tour!

Perfect day at a Lost World - We did a Tikal tour with Elmer and had an amazing adventure. Not only did he have an itinerary that maximized the experience- he was extremely knowledgeable and kind. I still have no idea how he was able to spot out all the camouflaged animals to show us; he’s a magician at that. Overall this tour was the best part of our week in Guatemala. Definitely will recommend his services to all our friends!
