Excellent tour, beautiful Tikal! - Tikal is a wonder of the world that everyone should know. It is a hidden Mayan city in the jungle of Guatemala. The tour was excellent, the guides very friendly and explain very well everything about the place. To buy tickets to enter the park (ruins) you need cash so go prepared with quetzales, that is not included in the price of the tour. At the end of the tour we had some time to eat, lunch was included however I think there are several packages and I don't know if they all include food. The restaurant is in the middle of the jungle is a very beautiful experience. Go prepared with repellent, there are many flies and it is also advisable to go very hydrated because you sweat very much and it is very hot. We also had the opportunity to see howler monkeys and even a fox.

Fantastic tour - This was an incredible day! Our guide, Pinki, was so passionate about Tikal, the Mayas, and Guatemala that everything really came to life. He took great care of us all day, keeping us away from the crowds of tourists, showing us tons of interesting details about the ruins, and going at our pace. He and Wilmer were there waiting for us when we landed in Flores, and they got us back in time for our return flight. The restaurant they took us to for breakfast and lunch had delicious traditional food. 1000/10 and would happily do the exact same tour again.

Well organized with Airport pick up! - Visiting Tikal was always at the top of my list on my Mayan pyramid list and this tour did not disappoint. Luis, our guide was knowledgeable with exceptional eye sight! Omg. He is amazing! He knew his information and delivered it both English and Spanish without difficulty. I was picked up from the airport as soon as I arrived to start the tour at 8am. It was better than I expected despite my stress of not making it on time, etc. I thought this tour was well organized and Luis was a great guide. I would choose them again! Thank you Turismo Peten! 🙏

Excellent Tour of Tikal! - I thought this tour was perfect! Our bilingual guide, Julio, did a great job sharing the history of the site thoroughly while still allowing some free time to explore. The drive was very comfortable with a convenient stop and the lunch was surprisingly nice. I strongly recommend taking this tour!

Fantastic guide and organization - It was my best tour on this trip to the Mayan World. I do them with my husband individually. We have visited several places in Mexico before. No tour comparable to this. Very good organization, phenomenal guide (Julio). He paid attention not only to the archaeological sites but also to the nature of the site. Very competent. Also understanding of the age differences in the group. Congratulations!

Good guide, good agenda - Tikal in a day was achieved! We visited all the major structures, climbed all we wanted to, and learned about the history and the jungle around Tikal. "Locha" was a great guide, the driver was great, lunch was well-planned, our routing through Tikal was ideal, and the views from the tops were amazing!
