Excellent - I recommend taking this private tour. Glever was very informative about the temples and history of the Maya and Tikal, it’s a breathtaking experience. You’ll definitely enjoy it and get your daily steps in after climbing up to the viewpoints.

Best guided tour I've ever been on! - Amazing experience and amazing guide! I didn't realized this was going to be a private tour of just me, my partner, and the guide, but it was so worth it. He was so knowledgeable about Tikal & the Mayan people. We learned so much, stopped at sites before & after the park, and got to explore parts of the park that others weren't at. We visited all the popular sites in the park, but also go to see other smaller temples and even walked down a path and got to see a Quetzal bird. Our guide was so friendly and really loved this work and sharing his knowledge about the Maya with us. Can't recommend this trip enough!!

Such a magical experience! - What an amazing experience! Elmer messaged us prior to our tour and informed us of everything we needed for the day. We were picked up in a very nice and clean van right on time and it took about an hour and 15 min to arrive at Tikal. Elmer was so knowledgeable, we couldn’t get enough! I cannot believe these Maya ruins are not more popular. This ancient civilization was fascinating and having a knowledgeable expert made it all the more interesting! I HIGHLY recommend booking a private tour and enjoyable every moment. This archeological site is HUGE and so you definitely need a full day. I hope more people see this amazing part of history in Guatemala :)

5 star service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - I am very grateful for the transport services, tour in tikal with tikal vip tours, they organized tickets, water etc, we were a group of 6, from the beginning to the end they were very friendly, they were attentive to all my questions, they took us the clean and new transport as they had promised, they prevented us from in the queue or queue in the park since they bought our tickets before the tour. That's why And much more we give them 6 stars out of 5, I really recommend them and if I go to tikal again my family and I will not hesitate to book with them again.

Tikal with Elmer 10/10 - Elmer was hands down the best tour guide we have ever had (and we've had a lot) - his knowledge about Tikal and his passion for what he does is absolutely amazing! I honestly couldn't recommend him enough, he made this tour the absolute most amazing experience - it was fun (even though t was hot and pouring rain on/off), we learnt so much and overall couldn't of asked for anything more or better

Amazing Tikal experience with Elmer! - Elmer brought us on a wonderful tour through Tikal! I was the leader of a student group and this is the 2nd year in a row Elmer has been our guide---and we would be lucky to have him for a few more years! We stayed overnight in the park and Elmer met us there before heading into the archeological area.
Elmer's knowledge of the flora and fauna of this beautiful area, as well as the people who have inhabited it, is truly special and shines through in the way he speaks about the place. His ability to deliver information in both English and Spanish made his knowledge that much more impressive. And, if you're lucky enough to book him, you'll experience the most wonderful part of it all---the kind presence and warmth that he carries himself with, making you feel like family even though you are probably thousands of miles from home.
I am so thankful to Elmer for the hospitality that he showed to me, my co-leaders, and my students, and we will carry with us the knowledge that he passed on.

One of the best guided tours I’ve done - If you are looking for the best experience in Tikal I recommend you go with Elmer. He’s very knowledgeable answered all our questions (he knows much about astronomy! Ask he might tell your future lol ).
They’re very passionate about their job, it is a local tour company which supports the local economy.
10/10 experience
You will not get disappointed.
