It was a wonderful experience to go through the jungle in complete darkness. The pick up from the Hotel went as communicated before via WhatsApp without any problems. Our Guide Luis was exceptionally nice and knowledgeable about everything and gave his best that we could see everything including the Birds and Monkeys on the way :) would definitely recommend to book here :) As already mentioned here it is imported to book two tickets for the sunrise tour, the normal ticket and a special sunrise ticket on top (250 together)

Magical place despite the fact that heavy morning fog obscured our view of the sunrise, but there was so much else that the overall the trip was well worth it.

Good sunrise tour of Tikal. Transfer there was ok, long queue to get wristbands to get in which meant that it was a bit of a route march to get to the temple and up the stairs before sunrise. Unfortunately (as is very common) there was lots of cloud and mist so there was no spectacular sunrise. However it was lovely hearing rhe jungle waking and up and enjoyed the experience 😀. Our guide was very knowledgeable and the Mayan ruins really interesting. Overall a good tour.

I sent a message to the tour company 24 hours before to ensure they still had us booked as I didn't fancy getting up at 2:30am and no one picking us up, and they replied immediately confirming pickup details. The journey from Flores took a little over an hour and the minibus was completely full, and a little cramped, but this trip wasn't about the transfer. Make sure you purchase your Tikal entrance tickets AND a seperate sunrise ticket seperately, as there is no phone reception in the park. Upon arrival we had approximately a 40 minute walk, at a very brisk pace to reach Temple IV, and then one final push to climb to the top of it. Make sure you take a torch as the group does get split up a little due to the pace. Once at the top, the early morning start was 100% worth it. We were fortunate enough to see an awsome sunrise, and to hear the howler monkeys awaken was magnificent. After sunrise you continue the tour then at a more leasurely pace, with time to enjoy the scenery. Our guide was excellent providing not just information on the Mayan history, but also the wildlife we saw during the morning.

Very pretty park! The guide was very informative, friendly, and fluent in English. The pace was good as well. We were late to our early morning pickup from the hotel, but the driver was understanding and accommodating.

Great experience, our guide Carlos was very knowledgeable, we started at 3am and took a ride to Tikal to see the sunrise which is awesome experience as the jungle wakes up and the view is amazing. Make sure to buy a tickets to enter Tikal and for the sunrise entrance ticket at least day before. Definitely bring a headlight and some longer sleeves, mosquito repellent, water, snacks and hiking boots as you will be walking a lot, going up and down to see all this place has to offer.

We had a great tour with Luis! He was truly fabulous, ensuring that we saw wildlife and learned about the cast history. The pick up at our hostel was a bit unorganized but everything went smoothly once we were in the transport van.

Really enjoyed our tour! Guide Luis was fantastic and provided great information while managing the cloudy weather for us and returning to some temples we had missed. Was very professional while dealing with challenging members of the tour group. Great drive. Only complaint would be to make the website to Temple for your tickets easier to find and confirm that a park and sunrise hike pass is required. But when I contacted the company they were very quick to reply. Would recommend!

Luis was a fantastic guide … very informative, personable and a “Guatemalan Crocodile Dundee” as he had an amazing ability to find animals, birds, and was an expert on flora and fauna!
