“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…”

“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.”
Two days hiking Acatenango from Antigua, sleeping in dome cabins and watching Fuego erupt, with sunrise on the summit. Spanish guide.
“Nous avons passé un magnifique moment ! Nos guides étaient top, à faire absolument. Attention demande une bonne forme physique, l’ascension est un gros défi, qu’elle soit jusqu’au camp de base, avec l’extra fuego ou jusqu’au sommet.”
