We 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!

The 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!
Reliable transportation to Tikal!

We selected the 8am departure. Noe was our guide. He was amazing, super helpful, provided such interesting information about the temples and Mayan history. Be prepared to walk about about 4 miles. Buy your tickets ahead of time online so you don’t have to get off the bus to buy them at the park.
Great Visit, but Have Quetzales to Buy Ticket at the Park

This was a great experience and Tikal is incredible. But something to know: Credit cards are accepted in the park but not when buying an entrance ticket. There is no ATM available. If you have US dollars they must be in mint condition or will not be accepted. You can buy a ticket online while there, but this is time consuming with very slow wifi and you may end up holding up the group. Buy ticket in advance or have local currency to buy them there.
Gracias Eddy for the lovely Tikal experience

The Maya ruins of Tikal are absolutely stunning! I went early in the morning from Flores (4h30) to avoid the crowds and the heat and it was totally worth it. We were a group of 15 persons and had an amazing guide, Eddy, who explained us a lot. The group vibe together with the guide was awesome and made it extra fun.

Bus was fine and driver drove safely. Tour guide spoke ok English but not the best. However, he was bland and not personable whatsoever. Didn’t try to get to know anyone on the tour. Did the bare minimal.
Book! Such a fantastic tour
