Marlon's Yaxha tour was the highlight of our time in Guatemala, and I couldn't recommend Gem Trips any more emphatically. Our entire family enjoyed it immensely.
Marlon is exceptionally knowledgeable on Maya culture and history, and his presentation style is fun and engaging. He was also adept at spotting birds amongst the dense foliage, something as a bird-watcher I appreciated. Marlon took his time, answered our questions thoroughly with enthusiasm, and gave us many insights we would not have discovered on our own - he was a consummate professional.
The lunch we had before the tour, a traditional soup, was outstanding - some of the best food we had in Guatemala.
I must also mention that Moises, our driver, did an excellent job of navigating the bumpy roads and making our ride as comfortable as possible.
If you're going to visit Yaxha or Tikal, I highly recommend Gem Trips to be your guide. If and when we visit Guatemala again Gem Trips will be given for us.
