This was truly one of the best tours we have ever been on. It was a private tour with veteran guide Marlon, who took us through the most interesting parts of the Tikal area. His knowledge about the history and architecture of the Mayan empire is truly astounding, as is his knowledge of nature and the animals living in the park. He is also concerned with the environment and takes care to make sure the people that he meets are respectful to the ruins and to nature. Finally, he keeps an eye on the health of his guests to make sure they don't pass out from the heat!
The arranged lunch was good and very welcome after the warm walk. Communication via WhatsApp worked well. If we ever return to the area we will be sure to seek out Marlon again.
