Yaxha VIP Private Sunset Tour All-inclusive

Elmer is an exceptional guide, one of the best I've had in any country. He is passionate about archaeology in all cultures, a passion that goes far beyond the sites where he leads tours. If you have visited archaeological or architectural sites in other countries, you can exchange travel stories with him and you will find an excellent listener and audience. He is patient, polite, curious, and full of interesting facts about ancient Mayan culture. He taught me a few phrases in Spanish and I taught him a few in English, which made us both very happy since we are both always trying to improve. He brings cold water bottles and a first-aid kit to ensure your safety during the trip. Yaxha is smaller than Tikal, but don't be fooled -- you will still sweat a lot while climbing stairs up and down to see the best views! We saw howler monkeys, spider monkeys, and were lucky enough to see a coatimundi. I recommend visiting Yaxha before Tikal, and if you book Yaxha with Elmer you may very well wish to book him again for your next tour. Gracias Elmer!

We had an incredible time! Elmer is warm and welcoming as well as very professional. He’s thought of everything to make the tour a lovely experience — He’ll make sure you are taken care of and comfortable, from recommending a great place to eat to taking amazing photos! He has so much knowledge not just about the Mayan sites you are exploring but also about local plants, animals, and Guatemala in general…there wasn’t a question we had that Elmer couldn’t answer! (We also toured Tikal at sunrise with Elmer and cannot recommend enough. His enthusiasm is contagious and he is committed to ensuring you have a tour tailored to your wishes). Yaxha is stunning, less crowded, and entirely worth the visit.
