GUATEMALA
The trips worth taking.
The 10 evening experiences worth your time in Guatemala. What each one involves on the ground, who runs it, and what you pay.
AC van and a guided route through Tikal’s top temples, ending with a pyramid sunset view. From Flores in about 8 hours.
“Our guide was great, he had a lot of knowledge around Tikal. Sunset was really beautiful. Through the day were saw a Toucan and Spider Monkeys on our trek back to the car our tour guide showed us a huntsman and we came across a super deadly snake!”
See Yaxha from Flores on a shared sunset tour with guide and transport. Explore ruins, wildlife, then climb for the Red Hands.
“Our sunset excursion was great. We were able to hike around the whole site and our guide was amazing! He explained a lot of the cultural and historical facts, he pointed out a lot of the fauna of the place (we saw many toucans, woodpeckers and other birds, hawler monkeys, etc.). The sunset was a…”
Walk Antigua at night with Luis and hear Guatemala legends tied to real landmarks, Maya culture, and the eerie cobblestone streets.
“I would really like to say this tour was amazing and very worth the money. Luis did an amazing job. The story telling was great I learned a lot including Mayan history, Mayan numbers, folklore legends, Antigua history and much more. I recommend this tour to everyone. Once again Luis did amazing, he was very…”
Private luxury horseback ride to Pacaya with lava-coal pizza, roasted marshmallows, wine-service Mayan picnic, and optional sunset.
“Went with my 5 year old daughter, and we had an absolute blast! Communication was great from start to finish, Lori and the cowboys were very nice, helpful and knowledgeable. The only issue is that my daughter fell in love with the horse “Princess”, and she can’t take her home.”
Private sunset at Tikal from Flores with your own guide, A/C transfers, water and fees. Watch the Lost World pyramid glow.
“We had a great time at Tikal, our guide Roni was most attentive, polite and informative, he treated us so well! The site is amazing and a must do when in Flores or Peten. Lunch (included) was ok. All in all a memorable day. Oh and I highly recommend the sunset tour, the site is…”
Tikal Sunset Experience from Flores: guided ruins, A/C transport, wildlife spotting, and temple-top sunset views in a 7-hour day.
“We booked the Tikal tour with Tikal Express specifically because it was advertised as a small group (max. 10 people) experience. We ended up in a group of 23 people, the complete opposite of what was promised. If you’re looking for a genuinely small and more personal tour, this was not it. The mismatch between…”
Ride an ATV from Panajachel to Ojo del Águila for lake views, then Santa Catarina Palopó and a sunset finish at Café Flor.
“El Tour en general bien pero no es la gran cosa , solo subes al mirador unos 15 o 20 minutos y luego la ultima parada es un Pueblo que tampoco hay mucho que hacer ni ver y es muy poco tiempo . Te pasas la mayor parte del tiempo manejando en fin no vale…”

“Nosotros realizamos con mi pareja la excursión a Tikal con el equipo de GemTrips y fue excelente. El guía y el piloto fueron atentos y con mucho conocimiento sobre el lugar histórico. La pasamos genial y sin duda volveríamos a contactarlos!!”
Sunset at Yaxha from Flores: guided Mayan walk, ball courts and plazas, Temple 216 views, wildlife sounds, includes transport and entrance.
“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…”
