Recommended to know the magic in Tikal Yaxhá and Topoxté. - All excellent with this experience, from the first contact with Elmer had patience and willingness to guide us in our destinations. We did Tikal, Yaxhá and Topoxté in one day, even though several told us that we would not succeed. Elmer, as a good professional adapted to our itinerary, toured several amazing places with detailed and interesting explanation.
We had everything available, water, energizers and the food was very good.
With regard to transport, the super comfortable, new and safe vehicle, the driver was Hannibal who has been touring the areas for years so more confidence when he embarks on the journey.
We would definitely go back and hire them.
Travelers I recommend you to also have this beautiful experience.
Thank you very much Elmer and Hannibal!

Don’t skip Yaxha it’s worth the trip - Yaxha should not be overlooked when visiting Mayan ruins. Not as busy as Tikal. You can feel more connected to the Mayan culture very special place. Also Using Elmer as your guide was the best decision we made he is very knowledgeable and has some great insights to the Mayan people.

Treat yourself to a day with Elmer - it's worth it! - We had the most fantastic day at Yaxha with Elmer (and his driver, Rolando). We knew so little about Mayan culture and history but Elmer (and his perfect English) enlightened us and he made it all so interesting. We learnt a lot, we asked many questions and we laughed a lot - it was our best guiding experience in 3 weeks of travelling in Guatemala - I cannot recommend Elmer enough.

Excellent service from Elmer and Phidias - The service provided by Fidias and Elmer was excellent. They arrived very punctual to pick us up, the car was spotless and they arrived with water and cold drinks. Elmer is a fantastic guide who knows a lot about history, botany and animals, he is a great connoisseur of the Mayan empire and Guatemala in general. And it all explains it very pedagogically. It was an unforgettable experience.

Great tour of Yaxha - We had a wonderful day at Yaxha with Elmer. He had a lot of information to share with us and was an excellent guide. The weather cooperated (no rain!) and the howler monkeys serenaded us as we walked through the forest and hiked up the ruins. We also saw an eagle and many other beautiful birds.
The van was very comfortable and we were picked up on time at our air bnb

Perfect Tour - Elmer was an unbelievable guide!! He took me all over the entire city of Yaxha and was able to answer all of my questions about the Mayan Civilization, the city of Yaxha itself, and the nature around us in the jungle. Extremely educated!! He knew so many details about every structure from their creation, use, and their excavation. We saw more animals than I can count, and he was able to tell me so many detailed and interesting facts about them all. Great photographer as well! Could not recommend this tour more.

Great experience exploring the Peten with Tikal VIP tours! - I had a great experience with Tikal VIP Tours. Elmer, the owner and guide is very knowledgeable (a university trained historian), very gracious and an overall good person with great pride in Guatemala’s history and culture. I saw some of the other tour groups rushing through the main sites, but Elmer took me to some hidden gems, and really made my trip special. I also loved the door to door service in a private new SUV. Definitely recommend booking with Tikal VIP!

Excellent - Excellent guides, very good attention and very good shared information.
I went with a group of students from Turilos and the experience helped a lot in their training.

Great guides! Yaxha Ruins and Shuttle Transfer - Very knowledgable guides, very friendly and helpful. Tour of Yaxha Ruins and a shuttle from Flores to San Ignacio. Bi-lingual guide, great for us as we only speak a little spanish. Lots of monkeys, birds, and other wildlife in Yaxha. Guides helped us through border crossing, very generous. Thanks guys, for making Guatemala a great visit for us!
