Wonderful tour experience... - Wonderful tour experience through out the Tikal ruins. Lucio is a fantastic guide who speaks three languages, knows the history of the park well, and points out interesting animals and plants (including a tarantula!). Highly recommend this experience, especially with Lucio!

Highly recommend Gem Trips to visit Tikal! - Our tour of Tikal was amazing! Our guide, Jose, was extremely knowledgeable and shared so much information with us about the history of the site as well as information about the wildlife that live in the park. We saw so many birds and some monkeys as well! After the tour, we enjoyed a delicious lunch. I highly recommend!

A most fantastic experience in the Guatemalan jungles of the Maya. - Our experience (my son, my cousin and myself) with these wonderful people was unforgettable. Marlon, José, César and the other guy from Gem Trips whose name I could not remember made those three days among the best ever lived. With them, we visited Tikal , and then flew to El Mirador in helicopter, an incredible experience that I recommend to anyone interested in knowing a fantastic Preclassic Mayan city close to the Mexican border, including the most voluminous pyramid in the world.

Best Tour Guide for Tikal - We had the most amazing tour with Marlon. He met us in Flores and took us to Tikal for the most wonderful experience. His deep knowledge of the area and it's history was so exciting that we are still talking about it years later asking ourselves when we are going to return. This was the single best tour we have ever taken. If you would like to learn more about the wildlife and specifically the birds in the area Marlon was able to provide us with amazing sightings of animals hidden in plain sight. If you are looking to have a once in a lifetime experience Marlon is the person you should be speaking with.

Great experience - Lucio (driver) and Jose Moreno (guide) were the best. They made the whole experience smooth and amazing. Highly recommended. Jose was very knowledgeable and always with a great attitude. He took great care of all of us, even going above and beyond. We would use this company again.

Gem tours is your best option. - Marlon was an amazing tour guide. He took his time to explain things and answered our questions. He was also helpful in pacing the tour to match our needs. He made a point of leaving the place cleaner than we found it by picking up litter along the way. He cares about Tikal and the people he guides through it. Unforgettable great.

Tikal is a must see - Marlon Diaz was our guide. He's better than usual. This tour is his business and he takes personal pride in his job and his country. He really knows Tikal and the Mayans. His English is good. He even picked up the trash of other people. He is very responsible about the park. He made an excellent impression on us. Tikal is a must see.

Exceptional guide and experience - Marlon was very knowledgeable about Tikal and all of the surrounding flora and fauna. He arrived on time to pick us up The ride from Flores was very comfortable, and we were able to see the entire site, including climbing many temples. The price is reasonable if you consider the knowledge and experience gained. We had a great lunch, which was also included in the cost. We paid for our entrance tickets to Tikal online as suggested by Marlon and sent this to him in advance, which facilitated a quick entrance. He truly loves what he does and is passionate about the Mayan culture and the environment.

Excellent, highly recommended! - Exceptional tour. Our tour guide Marlon was outstanding. His knowledge not only of Tikal and its history but also of the flora and fauna was amazing. There was no question he couldn’t answer. Tikal itself is absolutely amazing and should be a bucket list item for everyone. I highly recommend this tour!
