Incredible tour, Edwin was amazing!

5.00I’m so glad we did this amazing tour! Edwin was an incredible guide and cared so much about the history and culture of the area. We were picked up at the I heart Peten sign at 8am (I recommend going to the breakfast place right next to it beforehand for the most incredible breakfast quesadillas and coffee). Edwin was incredibly friendly and kind and spoke to us in both Spanish and English. The van ride was about an hour through beautiful rural towns. We stopped for coffee and tickets (150Q) before entering the park. The park is huge, 50 square kilometers with over 60,000 structures, but Edwin knew the best spots to go and efficiently scheduled the tour to show us the most incredible views paired with explaining all the history and importance of the area (explained in both Spanish and English). We also saw beautiful wildlife like moneys and baby Quiotes. The jungle and ruins were beautiful and we hiked until about 3pm at which point we went to a delicious and quaint restaurant at the entrance of the park. We were then transported back to Flores where we said our goodbyes. I cannot recommend Edwin or this tour enough!!

3.00everything was great except for 2 things. 1. The forces stop in a restaurant- you are not obliged to ear, but we could be earlier back at flores and pick where WE want to eat and 2 They mix Spanish and English speakers in the same group so everything takes way longer... a waste od people's time

5.00We did the 4:30 am trip to Tikal from Flores. It was well organised, and Jose was a very informative guide. We entered the park after buying our tickets at 6:30 am. There was a restaurant and bathroom stop at the park gate. There are other bathrooms located by the ruins within the park complex. No need to feel desperate, if that is a concern. It was a good temperature for enjoying the sights and wildlife within the park.
Moderate experience

2.00Beautiful Mayan city but that was it. The guide gave hardly any information. From the moment you got to a temple, you got 3 minutes of explanation and then got 20 minutes of ‘free time’ to climb or view the temples. Would have preferred to visit this alone afterwards. I would know more about it myself as I was now counting on the information from the guide. However, it is a beautiful location with beautiful temples.
Bring more water than you...
