My husband and I are not usually tour guide people, but coming to Tikal with little knowledge of the Mayans other than a chapter in a college Intro to Archaeology class and a few PBS specials, we thought we were get more out of the visit with a knowledgeable guide. Roxy was it! She was really enthusiastic, both about explaining... More

Roxy’s tour was everything the excellent reviews promised and more. My husband and 2 teenage sons spent almost a full day (toured sunrise with 4 others and sunset just the family at Tikal) with her on our spring break. She also helped us with transportation to and from Flores. The trip could not have been better. Her knowledge, energy, and... More

This review is truly long overdue. Roxy is an archeologist and a tour guide, and though we have been with other people to different sites that share the same qualifications, there is no one who came close to her understanding, love, and passion for what she does. The site came alive under guidance. We had been scheduled for a 4... More

My wife and I visited Tikal and based on some great reviews organised Roxy as our guide - as mentioned below her knowledge and passion is amazing - I highly recommend that you use Roxy to enhance your Tikal experience! Definitely a highlights of our central american holiday! We used San Juan travel to travel from Flores (who were ok... More

Our family of four took the sunrise tour with Roxy, and to say that she made a phenomenal and lasting impression would be an understatement. We were with our daughters, ages 9 & 11 and they loved Roxy as much as we did. Roxy is a wealth of knowledge about so many things...archaeology, astronomy, animal life, plant life, Mayan history....you... More

I booked a sunset tour with Roxy for my wife and two children for a March 2012 tour and my expectations were surpassed. She is truly a 'guide's guide' and you get way more than you pay for. You get an ethno-botantist, an archeologist, a wildlife biologist, and a socio-cultural anthropologist as well as an esteemed local in one package.... More

Tikal is an awesome place to visit, best done with a good tour guide. I have visited Tikal 4 times in the last 15 years, each time it is like a new adventure. I find the combination of spectacular ruins and jungle is a great way to spend time in Guatamela. I also found thar despite travel adviseries a lot... More

If you go to Tikal, I have a fantastic tour guide recommendation - Roxy Ortiz. Roxy is passionate about what she does and that reflects in her engaging tours. Roxy is a combo archeologist / wildlife expert (a unique combination)...she is very knowledgeable, speaks perfect English, and has lots of interesting stories. And she is highly reliable. Recommend you do... More

I have been bringing medical/surgical teams to serve children in the Peten Guatemala for a number of years. Each time, at the end of the trip I take a group to visit Tikal. When I'm lucky, I am able to arrange a tour with Roxy Ortiz. Last week, I returned with my bride of 30 years for a anniversary trip... More
