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.

If you are traveling to Guatemala, you have to ride with Byron! He had all of the essentials covered! He was right there for us when we arrived at the airport with a sign and everything. His vehicle was well maintained and absolutely pristine. Not only was he polite, kind and great with kids; he also spoke flawless English which helped quite a bit because my Spanish is... a little rusty. I cannot say enough good things about this experience. He went above and beyond in every way possible including but not limited to amazing knowledge of local custom and history. My wife and I have traveled all over the world and I can say I would come back to Guatemala just to see Byron again. He was that good!

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.
