Reyes was very knowledgeable! He shared details about the monuments we never would have known without him and personalized the tour to our group’s interests. Reyes was very patient and let our group go at our own pace and time. He took exceptional photos of the monuments and our group. It’s no surprise that Reyes has a perfect 5 stars! We would definitely choose to travel with him again! Made Tikal a very memorable experience.

Our day in Tikal was perfect! Our driver and guide picked us up at the airport, took us to the ruins, and shared his passion for the history of the place throughout the day! He helped bring everything to life and made it an incredible experience! We intend to return and enjoy it all again, someday… And we will definitely be returning to Reyes… our guide and new friend in Guatemala!

Reyes is so incredibly knowledgeable and worked the tour around our schedule making our day completely unforgettable! This place totally rivals Machu Picchu, it just doesn't get as much marketing. It's so much better to have a private tour and you can't do better than Reyes. We weren't sure about making this trip from Antigua, but are so glad we did.
