Guatemala really is a special place, and I’m grateful you were able to enjoy its beauty, color, and culture. We're sorry you missed part of it. :(

And please know that if you ever decide to visit Belize in the future and reach out to plan your trip, I will absolutely do everything in my power to secure a special upgrade or a courtesy for you, especially considering how your trip in Guatemala ended. It would be my pleasure to welcome you back and help create another wonderful experience.

PD: Is easy to visit the Tikal ruins from Belize.

Warmest regards,
Alex

Alex (travel agent), Josias (guide for 4 days), Marlo and Fernando (drivers), and our Tikal guide (already forgot his name, we’re soooo great. They were on time, patient, safe and knowledgeable. We couldn’t have had a better time on our activities. Our hotels in Panajachel, Guatemala City, Antigua and Xela (Quetzaltenango) were safe and very nice for a good price.
