So nice to finally watch a travelling guide video with people with they brains fully formed (above 25 years of age) 100 % of footage is about travelling the place and not getting pissed in a hostel!
Thank you for your comment and welcome to TREAD the Globe !! LOL we are delighted that you are enjoying our video and hope you enjoy our content 😍👍🌺🙌 Kind regards Marianne 😀👍
I went to Tikal and Carmalita (10days trekking) in April. I stayed in Flories before we went trekking and after. When we got back from trekking we went to the beach and it was beautiful. Some days there the temperature reached over 110°F. Loved it and me and my kids want to go back.
Hi !! It certainly is an amazing place and really very special ... Glad you enjoyed your time there as a family 🌸💜🙌🌺 Kind regards Marianne and Chris xx

Hi Alejandrro - yes Tikal and Flores was a very beautiful and mystical place - we enjoyed our time there - glad you liked the video - have you been there ??
Hi Esteban - it was truly eerie and mystical it is just such an unknown subject - scholars all over the world trying to work out how ?? and nobody really knows ..... magical !! 😳😎😍🙌 kind regards Marianne and Chris xx
Hi - thanks for the comment and we're pleased you enjoyed this episode. We love El Salvador - we're heading back this wee. You'll love Flores and Tikal - a really interesting place - have fun 😎💕🌴
Its so frustrating ....I can only give one like for this superb vlog 🤣 Brilliant information layered on some of the best footage 🤩 with an amazing sound track !! There really are too many great parts to this episode of your travels to mention, infact it is a real gem 💎. Especially loved 😍 all the elevated views you captured, which in that heat must have really taken a lot of energy (thank you) and your guide was a true natural 😂. Loved seeing all the wild life integrating within their natural habitat the amazing Mayan ruins ! I do hope Marianne is feeling better, it was unusual for Chris to be recording on his own, (although it was a great excuse to grab a coffee)🤣. Thanks again, until the next ....Tread Careful 🙋♀️D&T🙋♂️xx
Hi Polkerpan THANK YOU so much for your very kind comment and we are so happy you liked the video - in fact the whole time I was reading your comment I had a grin on my face 😜😀🙏. Yes Caesar the guide was a wonderful character and very knowledgable. Marianne is fine now 😀just one of those travel bugs ! I think it's the first time I've recorded on my own !. Thanks again - Chris
Hey guys, just subscribed to your channel. Waiting to watch the whole video. Thanks for visiting this amazing place that is tikal heart of the Mayan civilization.
Hi Chris thanks for subscribing !! super glad to have you on board and joining us on our adventures - we have had a fascinating time in Central America 🎉🙌🌴👍 Kind regards Marianne and Chris xx
Oh it was great !! and we thought Cesar was just brilliant !! and we are still in touch with our Brazilian friends too !! woo hoo xx Thanks for watching all our older videos xx
Hi Miguel - Cesar was amazing - his energy kept us all enthralled with the story telling and learning about the solar system - great guide !! kind regards Marianne 🤗🙌😍
Thanks for the tip Mark! We are currently in Turkey - we left the UK in January and we are waiting it out in Turkey in our van Trudy until the borders with Georgia and Russia open up before shipping from Russia to the Americas - woo hoo - keep an eye open for our van in Boston ... she is rather colourful !! LOL best wishes Marianne
Hi M Kelsey - that is a great idea !! we will include this on our world series - I have checked our instragram page and we were there on the 25th May 2019 !! I hope this help - Kind regards and thank you for your comment - best wishes Marianne xx
hey going to tikal in a couple of weeks, do you suggest we get a gide? and is there time after a guided tour to just roam around and do my own thing ??? thanks in advance !! loved the video btw
Hi - yes you can - we got a ride in (about 40 mins / 1 hour) and then after we were offered to walk around and get a bus 2 hours or 4 hours later .... tbh we nearly died from the heat ... and got the first bus home !! Enjoy .... it is absolutely stunning !! Try and get Cesar as a guide he made it magical !! best wishes Marianne xx
Hi !! Nice to hear from you - Can you thank the barber for the great haircut !! Chris looks amazing !! 😂😘🙌 video out in a week or so !! kind regards Marianne and Chris xx
You have piqued my interest in Apocalypto with your visit to Tikal. It might be a good self-isolation watch. Well I just watched Apocalypto and came back here to edit my comment. It was instructive to see how Mel Gibson imagined the Mayan culture, the body decorations and hair styles depicted the class system. However, the bloody capture and enslavement was hard to watch so I covered my eyes. I continued to do so throughout the bloody parts of the movie. Lots of good jungle shots and a fairly heavy handed depiction of the decline of an amazing culture. Worth it over all.
I should have warned you !! Ceasar was explaining how people were killed or worked half to death - it was a brutal time and I am delighted not to have experienced that time !! xx
Hey Chris and Marianne, we've been following quite a few of your videos recently. We're a young couple going to Guatemala soon. We're wondering how you booked onto this tour? It seems very expensive to pre-book tours online so we're wondering if you went with a local company you booked in Flores or something similar?
Hi Raven - when we arrived on Flores - we had a good walk around and checked out the tour companies and asked the hostel if they could recommend any particular tours / things to see and do - and we ended up using on of the tour operators - check that they get you there super early as it get very hot very early !! 😅😅Enjoy and have a fabulous time !!
Hi Ed - you can use credit cards in the supermarkets and stores / restaurants in Flores - and at Tikal, they have a port-a-cabin reception area that looks like a space station and took credit cards - but we always have a bit of cash handy just in case the line goes down !! LOL - Hope you have a fab time !! top tip ..... get air-con in your hotel / hostel !!! I nearly melted !! - kind regards Marianne xx 😍🌴🙌
Hi - it is actually mind blowing !! and Cesar was able to make it really exciting and interactive - we would recommend this place to visit !! best wishes Marianne xx
Hi . Liam - one things for sure - it's a lot hotter in Guatemala than Ireland ! It was soooo hot - nearly 40 degrees and climbing the steps at the end nearly killed us LOL ±±±± . Hope you enjoyed this instalment - Marianne & Chris
Hello! Do you have a list somewhere of the order of cities/countries you’ve visited in the Americas? I would love to at least dream of following in your footsteps! 😀
Hi - Thank you for your comment, Chris makes the videos almost live .... and if you put the playlist in date order, it will help you retrace our steps, but your journey will be amazing whatever order you do it xx if you have the essentials packed, a respect for people and all living things around you, and a massive sense of humour 😍😎🤗😘 kind regards Marianne and Chris xx😍
Hi Elise. The guide was included in our tour price. We booked the tour with a company in Flores - they we're very good. The details are at the beginning of the video - we booked as we arrived in Flores. Have fun it was a fabulous day out - when are you going ?
