“The trip starting a little bumpy. The bus was late about 20-25 minutes without a word until 8 something when one of their employees let us know they were running late before returning to his car. When the driver arrived there was no mention of it. A little annoying but not the worst. Fortunately the best part of this trip comes because of Luis. He was an incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, and charismatic guide. I 100% recommend him as your tour guide. He made everything so much fun and even pointed us towards some amazing food!”

We were able to stop for breakfast on our way to Tikal and for lunch afterwards. At Tikal, she explained what were seeing and then gave us time to explore, then we walked further into the park to reach Temple IV and climb above the tree tops. We were able to see spider monkeys, a toucan, and coatimundi along the way. Mariela answered all of our questions and was very friendly. Great day!”

“We had a wonderful experience with Tikal Express on our tour to Tikal. Our guide Sergio was extremely attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about the group’s experience. He made the visit to Tikal even more special with his explanations and constant support. Although the tour ended up returning later than expected and we unfortunately missed our bus to Belize, the way the company handled the situation was truly outstanding. Byron, in particular, was incredibly helpful, calm, and solution-oriented. He went out of his way to assist us and managed to arrange a private transfer, which allowed us to continue our trip without major disruption. Travel doesn’t always go exactly as…”
