Beautiful site not as crowded as Tikal but equally interesting. Absolutely stunning views with lots of rainforest wildlife to see!

This tour is a must if you are visiting Peten. Do not just visit Tikal if you want to have a full idea about the Mayan culture. Elmer is an amazing tour guide, he knows a lot and have pleasure explaining everything you want to know. Yaxha is "the lost city", very different than Tikal since just 5% have been dug. The forest covering most of the temples and archeological area gives an "Indiana Jones" feeling. Elmer will climb to every pyramid (I've seen other tour guides waiting down), and will transmit all the time the passion he feels about the Mayan culture. They picked me up with his brother from my hotel, drove 90 minutes to Yaxha, and we walked and climbed almost 4 hours around the ruins. He was not in any rush at all. He took effort to spot wild animals too, and we had luck to see hauling monkeys and a beautiful bird (cousin of the holy Quetzal) called Straight Tailed Trogon. After the tour we had lunch in a local place with greta food, I tried the Chicken Ramon, which is the speciality (Ramon is a nut that just grows in this area). They dropped me off in Isla de Flores in our way back, which is a nice tiny island with colorful architecture, worth to visit. Thank you Elmer for this pleasant experienceThe Yaxha VIP Private Day Tour with Elmer was a great value and seamless day trip to Yaxha!

The Yaxha VIP Private Day Tour with Elmer was a great value and seamless day trip to Yaxha! Elmer is a fantastic guide who very much enriched my experience at Yaxha with insights and information that really brought the experience alive for me. He picked me up at my hotel in Tikal park in a comfortable air conditioned van- navigated us along the "free massage" road to Yaxha :) and got us though and around the few crowds that were around so that it was a very personal and uncrowded experience. I'm also very grateful that Elmer is a patient man with folks like me who are scared of heights and not accustomed to high temperatures and humidity. After our tour at Yaxha- we stopped for lunch at a fantastic restaurant with mayanut /romannut chicken and soup- and the BEST handmade tortilla. So delicious! Elmer also arranged a tour for me the next day at Tikal with his colleague Jeovanni. I was equally satisfied and recommend both!One of the things that make your journey in a foreign land memorable is how a local passionately tells the story about his place.

One of the things that make your journey in a foreign land memorable is how a local passionately tells the story about his place. In my case, Elmer was very passionate in imparting his stories, about Guatemala, Yaxha and all. He knows his stuff. Transportation provided to Yaxha from the hotel was also very comfortable, and food places recommended were memorable.My husband and I booked the sunset tour in Yaxha with Elmer (our guide) and we had a great experience.

My husband and I booked the sunset tour in Yaxha with Elmer (our guide) and we had a great experience. Elmer picked us up in a private and comfortable car/ van. It had air conditioning which was great since it was humid and hot outside. Elmer is friendly and professional. He speaks perfect English and he is very knowledgeable of the Mayan culture and Guatemala history in general so it was very interesting to listen to him talk. He also has a good sense of humour and he just makes you have a good time. The park itself was beautiful. So many ruins with incredible views of the jungle and the river, and the sounds of birds and howling and spider monkeys. We had an incredible sunset that day. We definitely recomend Elmer and Tikal VIP Tours.We warmly recommend a tour with this company (especially Calvin for us), Calvin is a guide a passioned by history and nature of hi country that’s why he share so easily his knowledge!

We warmly recommend a tour with this company (especially Calvin for us), Calvin is a guide a passioned by history and nature of hi country that’s why he share so easily his knowledge! First we only wanted to see Yaxha but at the end of the day we had booked for the next morning the Tikal sunrise with them. In addition to the tour he arranged us plenty of facilities (transport to the airport...) Fidias (the driver) was as well a very professional and kind. Thank again for the unforgettable experience!
