Amazing and unforgettable experience! - Amazing experience! Tikal VIP was efficient with communication and prepared us with a list of what to bring to the ruins. We were picked up from our hotel around 3:30am in a van with AC and a cooler full of water bottles. The driver was super nice and our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about Tikal national park. The hike up to the ruins was so surreal and the overlook was breathtaking. Even though it was cloudy in May we were able to see the ruins and we brought binoculars for birdwatching. It was just my boyfriend and I on the tour so the guide tailored it to what we liked! He showed us a cool app that listens to the birds chirping and tells you exactly what type of birds are around you. We did get to see the sun peek out eventually and enjoyed the magic of the ruins in the morning. The timing of the tour is perfect because it was fresh in the morning and got so hot outside around 11ish when our tour was ending. The breakfast was onsite and just a short walk away from the ruins. It was so perfect after a long hike with plenty of options and delicious fresh juice. Definitely worth waking up so early for this experience!!!

Tikal Sunrise tour - Our Guide Elmer met us at our hotel equipped with torch and bottled water - he walked with us at our pace pointing out interesting plants and wildlife with knowledge and passion. He talked us through the Mayan history and the impact the civilisation has had on the modern world. Unfortunately a misty morning meant we did not see the actual sunrise, however Elmer knew it was just a matter of time until we could witness the sun and took us to climb a different temple to see the magnificence of the jungle with all it’s flora and fauna. I highly recommend this tour and especially Elmer who brought it to life.

Our guide was truly... - Our guide was truly outstanding! His knowledge was vast and could answer any question we had. It was obvious that he had a passion for Tikal and the Mayan culture. Also, I highly recommend the sunrise tour as it was perfect for seeing almost all of Tikal, while also avoiding the heat and the crowds.

Absolute Highlight of our Guatemala Trip - We had an excellent experience on the Tikal Sunrise Tour with Tikal VIP Tours. The communication before the trip was informative and easy, with quick response times. We were picked up from and dropped back to our accomodation in Flores and the vehicle was spacious and immaculate. Our guide Luis was incredible - vast knowledge of the site and area, and a captivating story-telling style and humor which really added to the experience and sense of wonder. Highly recommend this company and in particular, the sunrise tour - hearing the dawn chorus of birds and howler monkeys is out of this world! You'll also beat the crowds and the heat - its very humbling to have that space to feel small amongst the jungle and architecture. A very special site <3

Must Do: Tikal Sunrise Tour! - The sunrise tour was perfect! I highly recommend it if you want to experience Tikal and the jungle coming to life in the morning. Mario was wonderful. Our children loved it and said it was well worth the 3:15 walk-up! The entire tour from start to finish was well organized, the breakfast was delicious, and it was a magical experience.

Spectacular sunrise visit to the jungle at the top of the Jaguar Temple. Incredible Guide, RECOMMENDED! - Excellent guide to the spectacular Tikal with our guide who, apart from knowing the place perfectly, added a theatrical touch that gave a lot of value to our tour. The jungle sunrise at the top of the Jaguar Temple is unique and memorable. Highly recommended!

TIKAL VIP TOURS! EXCELLENT - The visit to Tikal with Elmer was incredible, the precision in the prior communication to coordinate everything from airport transportation, flower recommendations, hotels and dining options. Already on the tour, I 100% recommend doing the sunrise tour, even if you have to wake up at 3am, it is completely worth it Transportation is very very comfortable, to Tikal And the guide is incredible, he accompanies with his feeling of tranquility and his infinite knowledge He has an entire show programmed to surprise and move all emotions and then with empathy he accompanies you to the end of the tour. In particular, we left a camera in the transport, and he took care of getting it to us to the capital, always with a smile. and the best will I wish there were more tour operators in the world like Tikal VIP Tours, they are very clear about what VIP treatment is. Bonus track: the guide is very clear about how to take the best photos to remember
