Guatemala · TIKAL SUNRISE & SUNSET TOURS
8 reviewed
The park opens early and closes late for the people who book these. Sunrise means a headtorch walk to Temple IV and mist you may or may not see through. Sunset means an empty Great Plaza turning orange. Below are the 8 to consider, with start times, park surcharges, and an honest note on how often the mist wins.

“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…”
