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.

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.

5.00An amazing tour of the Mayan ruins. Our guide was excellent and answered all of our questions. The only thing I would recommend is to not buy the museum tickets, because you won’t have enough time. Also know that this tour involves a lot of walking and climbing stairs. But an incredible experience for the entire family.
