Knowledgeable guide and everything on time

Lucy_S, Jul 2025

This was a great day. Our Belize driver arrived in time and helped us through Guatemala border. Then we met our Guatemalan driver and guide. Sergio was our guide and he was so impressive. He knew many interesting historical facts about Tikal. He even knew measurements of the temples and pyramids. He answered many questions. He loved animals as much as we do. Our lunch was excellent. The restaurant was nice and we could select from a large menu. Highly recommend this tour.

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Thank you so much, Lucy, for sharing your experience! We’re delighted to hear that your Tikal tour was a great day from start to finish. Our Belize driver will be happy to know that his punctuality and assistance at the border made your journey smooth and stress-free. We’re also thrilled that you enjoyed your time with Sergio. He is truly exceptional—his deep knowledge of Tikal’s history, architecture, and wildlife brings the site to life in such a memorable way. It’s wonderful to hear how much you appreciated his insights and shared love for animals. We’re glad the lunch and restaurant experience added to your day as well. Thank you for the high recommendation—it means so much to our team. We hope to welcome you back for more adventures in Belize and Guatemala!

Beautiful

This is an amazing place! Climbing the stairs to view the land from the top is a workout but so worth it! We had a wonderful guide that told us so much about the history and culture of the Maya's. We had a great time!

Our drivers were Dimas...

Our drivers were Dimas and Rudy— both were great!! Tour guide was Luis who must be the best tour guide for this attraction. We were lucky that it was just the two of us and him! He was so so knowledgeable about the ruins, the culture, the people, the architecture… He gave us so much history of the rise. In the fall of the Mayans, it was incredible! He also knew all of the short cuts so we could escape walking with crowds of people. He gave us plenty of time to explore some of the ruins on our own, and patiently waited for us to come back down.

Great experience visiting Tikal

Mark_S, Dec 2023

Great experience, no issues picking us up from our hostel, taking us across the Guatemala border, and taking us to Tikal. Guide was informative, talked a lot about the history of Tikal. Lunch was pretty good, had vegetarian options. Was back at the hostel by around 4ish

A great day!

Great experience from start to finish. Coco was a fantastic guide; friendly, funny, talkative and really knew his stuff. He knew all the best spots to see the things we wanted to see. And Miguel was a wonderful driver. Definitely recommended to anyone looking for this tour.
