Superb & memorable visit this morning of Tikal Park with Santiago de Tikalviptours & Maya expedition whose passion and enthusiasm for French and Guatemalan cultures are contagious!
I really recommend to make the visit alongside him - favoring the raising of the solei on a weekday - it is an enchantment in an otherwise magical place.

We had a fantastic morning with Elmer. We booked a sunrise tour, and Elmer communicated with us early and often to ensure we had a meeting time, all the appropriate gear, and our necessary park tickets.
During the tour, Elmer made us feel safe and comfortable, being sure to point out tripping hazards and any animals to be aware of when we walking or taking a seat.
Most importantly, his passion and excitement for both Mayan history/culture and the animals and plants of the rainforest made for a fantastic experience. As a private tour, we got to go at our own pace, ask a million questions, and take routes/see areas less frequented by tourists.
His knowledge was incredible! Whether you want to know about local birds, medicinal
plants, or Mayan sports - this is your guy!

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!!!
