  We did the private tour from the border. We parked outside the immigration office, walked through and were met by the driver who took us to the pick up the guide en route. Our guide Nathaniel was so enthusiastic and a really lovely guy. He got on well with the kids talking about football as well as teaching us loads about the Maya. Highly recommend this tour group especially if you’re short on time to spend longer in Guatemala.

  Our tour from San Ignacio to Tikal was an incredible experience! The transportation was smooth and well-organized—our driver (Luis) picked us up from our hotel, guided us through the border process, and handed us off seamlessly to our guide and driver in Guatemala. Our guide, Omar, was extremely knowledgeable, pointing out various birds and monkeys along the way and sharing fascinating history about Tikal. He pointed out some great picture opportunities as well. He was also very friendly and made the experience even more enjoyable. The food at the restaurant was excellent, adding to the overall great experience. Everything about this tour was well-planned and stress-free. Highly recommend it for anyone visiting the area!

• So glad we hired a guide for this trip!

  We had considered visiting Tikal on our own, but ultimately decided a guide would be smoother. We were picked up at our Airbnb in San Ignacio and taken to the Guatemalan Border and given instructions on getting through the border and meeting our person al guide on the other side. Miguel and his driver for our day at Tikal were very knowledgeable and we learned so much in 7 hours. It was a private tour just for 4 of us which we really enjoyed. Tikal is an amazing place and we feel it is worth the trip to see and also the countryside of Guatemala. This company also serves you lunch inside the park, which was excellent! And gives you more time at the park rather than traveling to lunch. Picked up again in the early evening at the border and dropped right at our flat again. Se worth it!

• Great to experience Mayan Ruins!

  Tikal was great! Very majestic and amazing. We drove to the Guatemala border from Belize and walked across to meet our guide, Mike and driver Luis. The drive from the border to Tikal was nice. The stop at the store for a break was good too. The tour was great! Mike explained things well and gave us time to explore. We took us on a jungle trail on the way back and it was fun. He was great at pointing out wildlife. We saw monkeys and many types of birds. The lunch was very tasty.

• Reckless tour driver with Go Tikal. Maybe don’t go with this tour operator.

  Our tour driver in Guatemala was reckless and nearly crashed into the car in front of us. The guide was knowledgeable, but unfortunately his accent made it hard to understand about half of what he said. He have a ton of information, facts & figures, that was hard to absorb. Disappointing.

• Great trip to Tikal for first timers!

  Hugo and Abner were wonderful. Punctual and very knowledgeable. It was truly a great experience and would recommend it to anyone. Felt very safe crossing the border with them.

  We decided to use Tikal Go for a private tour of Tikal based on reviews. We were staying in Bullet Tree Falls near San Ignacio and wanted a day trip to Tikal, Guatemala with transportation. Communication and responses when planning our time and answering our questions was prompt. We chose to leave at 7 AM from our hotel with our driver, Abner, it took about 30 minutes to drive to the Guatemalan border where we were guided through the immigration area at the border, and then our guide, Omar Ayala, met us on the Guatemalan side of immigration. It's a 2 hour drive, over sometimes bumpy roads, to Tikal. Our tickets had been purchased prior to arriving at Tikal by Tikal Go and this helped to avoid a line of cars waiting to purchase tickets upon arrival there. Omar was a very informed, friendly guide. He knew Tikal very well, took us on trails where there weren't large groups of people, and described all of the temples to us while there. We had discussions about Mayan culture and he was willing to answer our questions. We love private tours and this was perfect. We were back at our hotel by 5 pm. I'd highly recommend Tikal Go!

  Highly recommend this tour with Tikal Go! Our drivers and guide (Omar) were all professional and incredibly knowledgeable! They accommodated my celiac disease perfectly at the restaurant and the food was SO good. We saw spider and howler monkeys, coatimundi, tons of butterflies. And the temples were incredible. We opted for taking a car partway instead of hiking and were thankful for that option. Also, if you can go during the slow/rainy season, there were no crowds and it was just my partner and I in our tour group!

  Amazing tour. Professional, safe, efficient. The whole team was 5 stars. Pickup in Belize by Jonathan was smooth. 20 minute bus ride to the border and through customs to Omar. No problems and very easy. The vans are like 7 seaters, with comfortable lay-back chairs, and have good A/C. The first stop in Guatemala is to get breakfast, coffee/tea, and souvenirs. This also allows the guides to pre-purchase your park entry tickets so you can bypass the long lines when entering the park gates. Really delicious mushroom and potato empanadas from the lady out front. The whole time, Omar is giving you the deep history and cultural knowledge of Guatemala and also of Tikal. We saw tons of wildlife on the road into the park so keep an eye out. The park was amazing obviously, be mindful that there are some crazy stairs, but Omar will not push you and can take it slow. Bring cash for the park though. You will need it to buy snacks, drinks, water. The lunch inside the park is great too. Omar will take your order earlier in the day so everything is arranged before you sit down. All around it was a perfect tour and highly recommend.

  Recommended by a friend - we actually drove our car to the Belize-Guatemala border, parked on Belize side, went through to Guatemala and Tikal Go met us and took us to Tikal. The bus was new and big with good AC. Christian our guide was super knowledgeable. The drive was 1.5-2 hrs. We stopped at a touristy spot to get tickets and use the bathroom - the best part of the stop is seeing the replica of the Tikal site, which helps out things in perspective when you’re walking around Tikal itself (harder to get the scale because the jungle has overgrown a lot of it). We walked around for a few hours and got to climb a lot of the structures. We also saw howler monkeys and other animals, which was cool. It was unbelievably humid and hot, so we struggled with that. The lunch (included) on site at the end was very welcome to sit down and cool off, and it was also amazing. We all fell asleep in the car on the way back. Highly recommend.
