Tikal VIP privétour bij zonsopgang vanuit Flores Guatemala

Tikal VIP Private Sunrise Tour from Flores, Guatemala Flores We saw the Mayan ruins through a guided tour with an excellent narration by Mr. Omar A. Elmer. My family and I (a group of three) wish to express our appreciation for Mr. Omar A. Elmer, an exemplary and highly commendable tour guide. Mr. Elmer’s friendly, proficient, and experienced presentation of the views vividly brought to life a world concealed for centuries. His commentary highlighted not only the architectural and archaeological significance of the ruins but also intriguing insights into the dynastic rules that influenced the everyday lives of the subjects associated with the Mayan royal court. Mr. Omar meticulously planned our day at the site within the rainforest. The tour was conducted efficiently, minimizing time wastage while allowing sufficient rest periods and the enjoyment of delicious local snacks. For the sunrise tour, he met us at the park entrance as previously arranged, assisted us with the tickets, and accompanied us through the forest to the ruins, identifying endemic flora and fauna. Our first destination was Temple IV, which was the site of the sunrise tour. Under Mr. Omar’s guidance, we visited most of the pyramids (temples). Two of our group ascended nearly all the pyramids, some accompanied by Mr. Omar. The tour concluded in the central plaza, where we enjoyed a magnificent view of multiple temples and other structures from an elevated vantage point. We ended our tour with a traditional breakfast at a hotel at the base of the park. Mr. Omar distinguished himself as a gracious and highly knowledgeable guide, well-versed in the Mayan ruins, history, and forest habitat. As nature enthusiasts, we appreciated his insights into the local flora and fauna, including attempts to observe elusive creatures such as jaguars (though, regrettably, without success in sightings). One of us saw and photographed two toucans perched on a tree—a treat! We wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Omar A. Elmer as an exceptional tour guide for anyone visiting Tikal. We sincerely thank Mr. Elmer for providing such a memorable experience!

Elmer was not only the best guide we have ever had but he is a wonderful human. He has so much knowledge to share and is passionate about everything Mayan. He was kind and considerate and we loved spending 6 hours with him!! Highly highly recommend.

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.
