An incredible experience!
My friend and I were picked up from our hotel in San Ignacio and driven 15 minutes to the Guatemalan boarder where we were assisted with exchanging to Guatemalan currency (I think we exchanged $20 USD and exchanged back our change later in the day), paying the boarder crossing fee and passport control. On the other side, we were met with another driver who drove us 1.5 hours to Tikal. About halfway through we stopped at a roadside store where you could purchase souvenirs, grab a coffee or a cold drink and use the restrooms.
Once we arrived at Tikal, we picked up our tour guide, who goes by Pinky. Pinky was an absolutely stellar tour guide. He shared so much history regarding the Mayan culture and background of all the sites we visited. He was able to answer the list of questions we had along the way and pointed out tons of wildlife in the jungle! You could feel how proud he was to share his culture with us, and it was very special. It was also incredible to be somewhere with so much rich history.
Do expect to do a ton of walking (we walked 13k steps in the park), so wear comfortable shoes and bring water with you.
The lunch you have is provided at restaurant near the parks entrance. The food and drinks were delicious!

Must do tour
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Hands Down the Best Day in Belize! Erick is an Amazing Guide!
If you're heading to San Ignacio, doing the Actun Tunichil Muknal (ATM) Cave tour with Erick is a total must!
From the very start, the whole day was pure fun. Erick made the trek through the jungle and the river swims feel like an incredible adventure. Swimming right into the dark mouth of the cave, wading through subterranean streams, and scrambling over giant boulders was an absolute blast—and Erick kept the energy high while making sure everyone felt totally safe.
Once inside, Erick brought the Maya history to life in a way that was super engaging and fun. He walked us through the sacred history, the ancient pottery artifacts, and the famous Crystal Maiden with awesome stories that made the past feel totally real and exciting, without ever feeling like a dry lecture.
The ATM Cave is easily one of the most incredible adventures in Central America, but having Erick as our guide took it to another level. Unforgettable energy, super cool history, zero stress, and a tons-of-fun experience from start to finish! Ask for Erick—you won't regret it!

The activities were...
The activities were amazing and the guide was friendly, helpful, and very knowledgeable. One thing I didn’t realize was that there was a long drive between the archaeological site and the cave tubing and then back to San Ignacio, so a fairly large portion of the day was spent in the car. However, I enjoyed the drive and seeing the towns and countryside. Overall, I think the trip was worth the money, and I recommend it!

Mayawalks & Francis were top notch! Highly recommend!
Can't say enough positive things about this tour experience! Francis was so knowledgeable about the archaeology and nature of the jungle. He made sure everyone was taken care of throughout the cave experience. The ATM tour was so memorable and so much fun while also being informative.
