PRIVATE TRANSPORTATION (CAN BE ARRANGED AT LA CASA DE DON DAVID)
If you would like a fluent English speaking guide on your trip, add $60 per day Generally the price is less if one or two people go in a small taxi or if the minibus has no A/C. TRANSPORTATION TO/FROM TIKAL Minibuses service the Tikal-Flores route everyday, passing through El Remate. There are several types of shuttle buses that go to and from Tikal every 30 min. to 1 hour or so. Some older collective shuttles are very crowded with local residents who live on the route and/or others visiting the park. Other shuttles cater to tourism and aren't so crowded. Often times, tourists just wait along the main road and catch one of these shuttles. Most hotels sell tickets for certain shuttles and book taxis, especially in the early morning hours. Private transportation is also available. When booking transportation in advance, always ask about vehicle condition, age, A/C, capacity, etc. Overloading vehicles is a common and dangerous practice throughout Guatemala. The services sold by La Casa De Don David are what we feel to be the most satisfactory and fit the needs of our guests.
