I’ve traveled to Tikal maybe 10 times with students and a guide, but this was the first time I traveled alone with a friend and hired a private guide for the sunrise tour. Both our tour guide, Elmer, and driver, Fidias, were professional in every way. During our tour, Elmer shared information that I had not learned from other tour guides and followed our pace. Plenty of water was provided during the tour, and we had a great lunch afterward on our way back to Flores. I asked about the company and learned that Elmer had started it and built it out with friends and colleagues. I will gladly book another trip with VIP tours.
