Extraordinary and enriching tour! - Marlon's tour was extraordinary. His profound knowledge of history, archaeology, ecology and native flora and fauna is superb, which made the tour extremely interesting, enriching and fun. After being a guide for two decades, he truly knows this place and cares for it deeply. His birdwatching skills are amazing! Among other animals, we saw 32 different species of birds, including two different types of toucans, as we traversed the temples and the forest. He's truly one of a kind! Anyone who wants to have a profound and unforgettable experience in Tikal should visit the park with this excellent guide. ¡Gracias Marlon!

An excellent introduction to Tikal! - Had a very enjoyable experience with my Gem Trips tour! It was just me and my tour guide, Jose Moreno, who had an expansive understanding of Tikal's archeological history, along with it's diverse flora and fauna. Together we covered a lot of ground and I was able to take the tour at my own pace. Would highly recommend!

Excellent tour, honest and good people - Henri and Ariel were excellent. Henri is very knowledgeable about local flaura, fauna, and Mayan history and culture. The included lunch at the jaguar restaurant was delicious! Finally, we forgot a phone in the car at the end of the day and Ariel drove it back to us. Gracias!

Best tour yet! - I thoroughly enjoyed my experience in Tikal with the professional, friendly, and expert knowledge of Marlon. He is extremely knowledgeable about the mayan culture and history, and local flora and fauna. It was a joy to see the magic of Tikal unfold from sunrise and beyond. Marlon customized the tour beautifully based on my questions and curiosities. It was a pretty special experience, and the lunch at Jaguar Inn was excellent. The transport to and from the park was super smooth. Overall, it was a perfect day!

Epic tour of Tikal - DO IT! - This was an excellent tour. Our tour guide, Alberto, was so knowledgeable and friendly! Our driver Moises was super cool too. Alberto even tried to help us find a geocache in the jungle off trail, which did set us back an hour for poor Moises to pick us up, but he was very kind about it. We saw many animals and birds at the park, such as coatimundi, tanagers, toucans, parrots/macaw, tarantula, falcon, etc. I highly recommend this tour and the park generally. Definitely was the highlight of our adventures. Thank you for the memories! For travelers: There is an added exit from Belize fee at the border and the Tikal Park tickets are also not included in this tour, so they were both about $20USD each. The Belize-Guatemala border crossing was on foot each way but they drive you from hotel to the park and back. Very safe and fun time!

Informative and fun guided tour through Tikal - Our guide, Marlon, gave us a great tour of Tikal for half a day and it was absolutely lovely! We were first picked up by a driver at the Flores airport, and made our way to Tikal, where we met Marlon. We had a lovely lunch which was included in the rate of the tour. We then started our hike through the sites of Tikal, and Marlon was very knowledgable about the flora, fauna, history, and the various structures. Marlon then returned us back to Flores to continue our trip. It was a very good experience for us, and it was engaging for both adults and children.
