From booking until the end, this trip was absolutely wonderful! The company was very communicative so that we knew exactly what to expect. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the flora and fauna of Tikal as well as the history of the people. We saw coatli, crocodile, howler monkeys, spider monkeys, and a variety of birds. The included lunch was delicious and felt like a great reward after all that hiking! The only suggestion I have for improvement is to provide more details about the pick up from the airport, although when we asked questions the company was immediately responsive in giving us answers. Absolutely would recommend!

Absolutely everything. Pickups, flights were on time and everything went so smoothly. Our guide and driver was fantastic, extremely knowledgeable and absolutely incredible at spotting wildlife in the jungle and no words can give Tikal its dues. Absolutely worth every cent.

Celebrating my birthday at Tikal was an extraordinary experience. The climb to the top of the 70-meter Temple IV offered breathtaking views and a moment of profound connection with the ancient Maya. The guid, Luis was knowledgeable, bringing the history of this magnificent site to life.
Tikal’s vast ruins and rich history as a key Maya civilization site were awe-inspiring. A unique touch was learning my Mayan animal spirit - ‘Ajpu’, enhancing the personal significance of the visit.
Highly recommend this tour for a blend of adventure, history, and personal reflection. Thank you for a birthday adventure I’ll always cherish!
Pro tips: it was a long day but everything was executed perfectly. Bring cash for tips, breakfast (there is a small restaurant at the Mundo airport), souvenirs and buying drinks inside the park. Bring bug spray, or essential oils, hat, sunscreen, layers, sturdy shoes and extra battery to charge your electronics. We did this from Guatemala City so our pick up was like 4am.

This day trip was very enjoyable even though it was very long and tiring. The trip planning was meticulous and everything was well coordinated and the place is well worth the visit. The English speaking guide was very knowledgeable and paced out the 4 Hr. hike in the forest pretty well. The vegetarian options for lunch were well thought out and delicious. Overall we enjoyed this day trip and had no complaints.
For people who don't mind splitting their stay, its advisable to stay the night in Flores instead of doing the back and forth in the same day. For us, all the moving parts aligned with no delays or cancellations or no-shows and hence it worked out well. Also, the dry weather season helped to make this trip enjoyable.

Amazing trip. All transpiration and connections were spot on! Drivers and tour guide were all courteous, professional and helpful. Tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about Tikal National Park, as well as of Mayan history and culture. His attention to detail was exceptional and was very interested in sharing with those in this very small group tour (only 5 in our group). I had been to Tikal previously, but this was an exceptional experience. 5-Stars!

The guide I had requested was English speaking but I was added to a Spanish group
So I had to do tour on myself without guide
It was stressful with no one to reach out as there was no signal and the guide was not helpful
