Great tour company - Had a sunrise private tour with Roberto at Tikal and a private transfer with Lucio to Belize . Everything was wonderful! From the moment I booked tours, communication was fast and smooth. They were able to accommodate changes due to weather and our schedule. Roberto was very informative and made the tour fun and at our pace. Lucio got us to Belize with no problem and at an excelente time . I would recommend this company to everyone who wants a stress free enjoyable tour experience. Meals were included and so tasty! Don’t hesitate to book!

Sunrise excellence - Knowledgeable and easy going. I enjoyed the experience. I would recommend this to anyone. Maybe a bit steep if you want the full experience but climbs were made reasonable or optional in some cases.

Amazing Experience! - Our guide Alberto was extremely knowledgeable in both the archaeology and the nature of the region. He was also passionate and excited about both, which makes everything so much more fun. He was also very accommodating to my mom and friend who needed to move a little slower than me. He would send me on my way up a pyramid while staying with them. Throughout the day we saw an anteater, tons of monkeys, parrots, tucans and more! Plus, you can't beat the archaeology at Tikal, it's incredible.

Marlon is amazingly knowledgeable about all things Mayan and birds too; good company. - Marlon was excellent; very knowledgeable about both Tikal and Mayan architecture and culture. An added bonus was his knowledge of and ability to spot birds as we toured the site. Marlon speaks excellent English and was good company. Highly recommended!

Sunrise with Marlon! You won't regret it - Marlon was absolutely sensational. Cannot recommend him enough. We did the sunrise tour. He was so knowledgeable and passionate about Tikal. He was able to answer every question we had (We had a lot!!). His wife had prepared our breakfast and snacks, which was a lovely touch. We got to witness the park life waking up. A memorable experience. He has been giving tours for 20 years and truly cares about his craft. Thank you Marlon!

Fantastic tour with Marlon from Gem Trips! - We had such a wonderful sunrise tour w/ Marlon! Communication before and leading up to the tour was great. Marlon whatsapp'd the day before to share further information about the tour and pickup which was helpful. We had chosen to stay at the Jungle Lodge right inside the park entrance - which was helpful so we could "sleep in" until 4 am or so. Marlon was such a fantastic, welcoming and informative tour guide for my partner and I. As others have said, the mornings can be foggy but we enjoyed the sunrise tour just the same as the focus is on the jungle waking up. The traditional breakfast atop Temple IV was wonderful and then, having a private tour, we enjoyed doing it at our own pace and Marlon was so informative. The included coffee to start, template top breakfast and closing lunch at the Jaguar restaurant were all really wonderful. Note, we did use our phone flashlights for the morning/pre-dawn portion and you should bring your own waterbottle of some kind to get a refill from your guide upon starting the tour. Highly recommend GEM tours and their services! Thanks for an unforgettable experience!

A must book! - Marlon is a true gentleman and perfect guide for this wonderful trip. His knowledge of the area, the history, and wildlife is phenomenal. It is clear to see this is a lifelong passion for him and we were grateful to have him. Also the food his wife made for us was delicious!

Definitely book this tour! - Couldn't recommend this tour more! It was fantastic. Marlon picked us up from our hotel in the morning in a very comfortable van to fit all of us super comfortably. We had a prebreakfast before the hike even started. And another one at the top of the temple that was prepared by his lovley wife. We literally had everything we needed the whole day long. He answered every question we had. He cleary knows his stuff. You can tell its his passion. I honestly couldn't have chosen a better tour! Highly highly recommend
