This tour was amazing! Manuel was really passionate, knowledgeable, and funny. He was also great at spotting wildlife so we were able to see so much.

It’s a two hour drive then 45 minutes wasted while we wait to get tickets. Then we wait for all the other buses to show up. It was a bit of a shock with the length of wasted time. After that though, it was an incredible trip! See Tikal AFTER this site though. I did it in the wrong order. You will appreciate this site so much more if you do it first!
The guide was great.

Driver and tour guide where profesionals. Engaging with customers. Didnt rush fully bilingual. Would highly recommend

Takes about 3 hours to get there. Very bumpy road. You can climb the temples and the view is amazing!

Tour guide spoke good English. However, he wasn’t personable at all. Didn’t try to get to know anyone on the tour. No charisma. Bus was clean and driver drove safely. No complaints there. Generous 5 star review normally this would be 4.

This was a good tour, but would be great with fewer people. Too many on the bus made the long drive uncomfortable, too many on the boat was a safety hazard and too many on the narrow trails made it impossible for the guide - who was very good - to be heard by everyone.

The park is very nice and huge. There are several restored buildings which are amazing. And, it is also possible to observe toucans and hear howler monkeys.

I really loved this trip. I'm thinking it was perfect to do the day before or after going to Tikal. Yes, the ride band back is very bumpy and annoyingly long but the ruins are so beautiful and it really makes you feel like you are in an Indiana Jones movie. I don't think anyone else was there aside from our group. It was lovely and the sunset ride over the lake was absolutely gorgeous. One of my favorite moments in all of my travels in Guatemala. Make sure you bring a portable charger for your phone as walking back is much easier When you have the flashlight on your phone open it will be dark by the time you come back. The only issue I had with this tour was the fact that it said it was 7 hours but it's really more like 9. We left at noon and did not get back until 8:45 p.m.

Majority of the time is spent in the van packed to the brim picking up tourists, stopping for drinks/snacks/ATM, buying tickets to the park plus disrespectful and selfish youngsters wasting time on selfies and food/bathroom breaks. You get MAX 3 hours at the actual park out of your 8 hour day. The van ride there is nothing short of torture (deepest potholes I've ever seen, the 11 km ride just in the park itself takes 25 mins because the road has multiple deep holes). One girl in the group threw up twice on the way back because of the jerky ride. 3 stars for the ruins and sunset.

The sunset tour was great. Got to see monkeys and climb temples. Just great experience all around. The guide was patient and nice. Took his time explaining everything. Still got to the top of temple on time to see sunset!

Our guide was exceptional (forgot his name, took the tour on 8/22). Although it got cloudy right around sunset, overall we enjoyed this tour very much.

I did not know that this would include a boat ride through the lake to a ruin in the jungle then come back to the pyramids this. Was amazing. I really enjoyed myself and the guide was nice. The last pyramid and sun watching was relaxing. I recommend this!

Very interesting excursion with a very competent guide
I recommend this excursion with sunset

Good tour even though it was cloudy and we could not see the sunrise.
We weren’t advised that we had to bring lunch, but the accompanying guide got us some sandwiches talking to an establishment he knew.
I recommend taking it beforehand.
The journey is long because the roads are in bad shape, but worth it.

La actividad fue, sin duda, una de las mejores que realizamos en Guatemala. Nuestro guia Saul Elias Lopez, hizo resaltar la belleza del lugar con sus estupendas explicaciones y gran simpatía. El transporte fue muy cómodo.

Me gusto oír los gritos de los monos en la selva,, también ver las familias de los monos araña , las pirámides , el atardecer desde la pirámide, y el buen trabajo de los guías .
