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!”

Elmer has so much knowledge to impart and really tailors the experience to your interests. He was very patient while we took thousands of pictures of birds and told us everything he knew about the local wildlife as well as the Tikal site. We learnt about the Mayan people throughout the ages up to today. He also gave us great recommendations for local restaurants and tours to…”

“Když jsem kupoval tuhle aktivitu , tak jsem se drobet bál, protože tu není moc recenzí. Ale vše proběhlo v pořádku. Jestli letíte do Flores kvůli Tikalu, tak rozhodne do programu doporučuji zařadit i tuhle aktivitu. Yaxha se mi neskutečně líbila, hlavně díky tomu, že nebyla přeplněna turisty , byla tak prázdná. Mohli jste si více užít zvuk zvířat , přítomný okamžik … doopravdy doporučuji.”
