Tikal held sixty thousand people, then the Petén forest closed over it. These 15 day trips get you inside: the four a.m. departures from Flores, the ones that include the park fee, the guides who know where the spider monkeys sit, and which tours give you enough time to climb Temple IV before the coaches arrive.

“This is one of the best tours I have ever done. Our guide, Luis Arturo, was the best guide I have ever had. He knew everything. He answered every question we had. I feel like our group got a personal experience with Tikal thanks to the knowledge Luis shared. Now for the transportation. Guatemala does not let Belize drivers to drive there. So you take a shuttle to the border, walk through, and catch the next shuttle on the Guatemala side. We get over and find our driver, Rudy, only to find out the road up ahead is closed. The operators coordinated together to make sure we got our tour.…”

“We had absolutely great time with Byron (hopefully I wrote it correctly). I can recommend this private tour to everybody, it is much more enjoyable than just running around with map and reading the notes on information tables.

“Book this tour! If you are thinking of going to Tikal just book this tour. Before leaving Canada I did A LOT of research. This tour is honestly the best and it is the best price you will find. From Canada Elmer helped me arrange everything. And I mean everything. We had transport from San Ignacio, across the border and then to Flores. Someone walked us through the entire experience crossing through customs and it was so easy. Jiavanni was our tour guide. He is so passionate and knowledgeable. We learned so much and saw so much wildlife! Pictures do not compare to being at Tikal in person. We even…”

“It was fantastic! Easy pick up and drop off to airport. Our guide Loyd was super knowledgeable about Tikal. He spoke with great passion. Spoke fluent English and Spanish. He was very accommodated in waiting for people with a slower pace. Gave plenty of time to explore and ask questions.

“We had a wonderful experience with Tikal Express on our tour to Tikal. Our guide Sergio was extremely attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about the group’s experience. He made the visit to Tikal even more special with his explanations and constant support. Although the tour ended up returning later than expected and we unfortunately missed our bus to Belize, the way the company handled the situation was truly outstanding. Byron, in particular, was incredibly helpful, calm, and solution-oriented. He went out of his way to assist us and managed to arrange a private transfer, which allowed us to continue our trip without major disruption. Travel doesn’t always go exactly as…”
