2. Tikal Day Tour from Antigua Guatemala · By air
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 1 reviews
Tikal is an ancient Mayan city. Now is a national park declared Natural and Cultural Humanity Heritage by UNESCO in 1979. Is located in Petén department to the north of Guatemala and is the biggest prehispanic settlement in the country. The population could have reached the extraordinary amount of 100,000 people during its greatest time. This charming place with its many temples, pyramids, ball-courts, and palaces helps us to understand how this city could have been in the old days. Picture in your mind how that imponent civilization raised from the grounds until becoming one of the most important cultures in the world. Spanish explorers found it completely abandoned. Don´t miss the chance to experience the wonderful feeling of being in front of the temples and pyramids that stand on the landscape as protectors of this wonderful territory. If that's not enough, walking in the jungle, hearing the birds, monkeys and other animals in their natural environment is surreal in this place.

Elmer was without question the best tour guide I have ever had for a tour of ancient ruins. I have been to Machu Picchu, Angkor Wat and several other sites around the world with guides but Elmers knowledge of Tikal surpassed them all. His English is incredible too, being very easy to understand. If you are touring Tikal I highly recommend his services.

If you want a knowledgeable and professional guide look no further! We had a wonderful day birding Tikal and learning about the history of the site. Vinicio grew up in the area so his knowledge of and ability to find local species is fantastic. Vinicio also has a degree in archeology, so his knowledge of the Tikal site is also extensive. Combine all that with an easy going and friendly personality plus perfect English and you have the perfect guide for either birding Tikal or touring the archeological site (or both!). We were a 50 y/o couple at the end of a two week trip (so very tired). Vinicio was attentive to our need to take breaks and get off our feet. He would also be a wonderful guide for a family with kids of any age.

I visited both Tikal and Yaxha with VIP tours. Elmer is absolutely a phenomenal tour guide. You cannot go wrong booking Elmer, as his knowledge is outstanding and he really gives people a VIP treatment with hotel pick up, flexibility, and the small touches. As far as the park itself, it was well worth the visit. Smaller than Tikal. The day I went, there was literally 1 other group in the entire place, so it felt like I had the entire place to myself. Maybe this was due to COVID and/or going mid-week. Either way, it was awesome to go. One tip - do the sunset tour. It overlooks two lakes & you can see for miles.
