5.00The tour and overall experience was great. Edwin was our tour guide for Tikal and was very informative. The pace was great, a lot of exploration, guided and unguided. They were also able to accommodate our alternative pickup location in El Ramate. Lunch is not included, but this can be ordered at the part or brought with. Great value. Highly recommend.
Disappointed

3.00The guides English was very hard to understand and that made the tour not as enjoyable. The itinerary indicated there would be break for lunch at end, but we were only given 20 minutes which was not enough time to get lunch. Guides and driver did not give much direction or talk very much. Made it difficult to know what to expect

3.00Tikal was cool but wish the tour can be more in depth. The tour guy didn’t cover much about the culture and history, the tour just felt like we self explored and walked thru a bunch of buildings.
Very good experience

5.00We had an AMAZING time with our tour guide Erwin. He was absolutely incredible. He answered all our questions, told us stories, shared facts, was passionate about the Mayan traditions/culture, and even drew in the sand to explain details. Overall, he was the best tour guide we’ve ever had! The tour itself was perfectly organized as well. The shuttle pick up/drop off was convenient, the car ride was comfortable and safe, and the walking tour was a mix of culture/nature/information/amazement! We learned so much and really appreciate this company and of course the incredible ruins. Thank you Erwin for making this trip so special!
Good price for transport and knowledgable tour guide

5.00The walk was wonderful... Our guide Mario, was very polite, always answering our questions and adding important information... He showed us a temple that you can't always see... I loved... The agency was very requested with me. You can take the walk without fear!
