January Tikal Trip From San Ignacio Belize - This was a great trip. Very easy crossing at the border and Omar was an amazing guide. His knowledge level about the history, archeology were excellent but he also did a great job with the wildlife in Tikal. I would highly recommend this tour!

Excellent and unforgettable experience! - We had an absolutely excellent experience on the excursion to Tikal from San Ignacio. From the very beginning, everything was seamless—pickup from our hotel was prompt and effortless, which set the tone for the day.
We were a large group traveling together—two families, 11 people total, including six children (youngest ages 5 and 9) and our 83-year-old grandmother—and the tour could not have been better suited to our needs. Transportation was excellent: the bus was clean, modern, and very comfortable.
Our tour guide truly made the experience exceptional. He was friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, and very considerate of our group’s pace, making sure everyone—from the kids to our grandmother—was comfortable and able to fully enjoy the tour. We visited all the major and important sites in Tikal, climbed the structures, and did so at an easy, relaxed pace.
Before lunch, we had about 1.5 hours of free time to explore the main square on our own, which was a wonderful bonus. Lunch was at an excellent restaurant on the premises, and the grilled beef was truly outstanding.
The return trip was just as smooth, including an easy and well-organized border crossing. Overall, this tour exceeded our expectations in every way. We would highly recommend this excursion with the highest possible marks—it was a memorable and enjoyable experience for our entire group.

Private tour from border to Tikal - We did the private tour from the border. We parked outside the immigration office, walked through and were met by the driver who took us to the pick up the guide en route. Our guide Nathaniel was so enthusiastic and a really lovely guy. He got on well with the kids talking about football as well as teaching us loads about the Maya.
Highly recommend this tour group especially if you’re short on time to spend longer in Guatemala.

Well organized tour from San Ignacio to Tikal - Amazing Experience - Our tour from San Ignacio to Tikal was an incredible experience! The transportation was smooth and well-organized—our driver (Luis) picked us up from our hotel, guided us through the border process, and handed us off seamlessly to our guide and driver in Guatemala.
Our guide, Omar, was extremely knowledgeable, pointing out various birds and monkeys along the way and sharing fascinating history about Tikal. He pointed out some great picture opportunities as well. He was also very friendly and made the experience even more enjoyable. The food at the restaurant was excellent, adding to the overall great experience.
Everything about this tour was well-planned and stress-free. Highly recommend it for anyone visiting the area!

So glad we hired a guide for this trip! - We had considered visiting Tikal on our own, but ultimately decided a guide would be smoother. We were picked up at our Airbnb in San Ignacio and taken to the Guatemalan Border and given instructions on getting through the border and meeting our person al guide on the other side. Miguel and his driver for our day at Tikal were very knowledgeable and we learned so much in 7 hours. It was a private tour just for 4 of us which we really enjoyed. Tikal is an amazing place and we feel it is worth the trip to see and also the countryside of Guatemala. This company also serves you lunch inside the park, which was excellent! And gives you more time at the park rather than traveling to lunch. Picked up again in the early evening at the border and dropped right at our flat again. Se worth it!

Great to experience Mayan Ruins! - Tikal was great! Very majestic and amazing. We drove to the Guatemala border from Belize and walked across to meet our guide, Mike and driver Luis. The drive from the border to Tikal was nice. The stop at the store for a break was good too. The tour was great! Mike explained things well and gave us time to explore. We took us on a jungle trail on the way back and it was fun. He was great at pointing out wildlife. We saw monkeys and many types of birds. The lunch was very tasty.

Tikal Go- awersome private tour of Tikal from Belize City. - We decided to use Tikal Go for a private tour of Tikal based on reviews. We were staying in Bullet Tree Falls near San Ignacio and wanted a day trip to Tikal, Guatemala with transportation. Communication and responses when planning our time and answering our questions was prompt. We chose to leave at 7 AM from our hotel with our driver, Abner, it took about 30 minutes to drive to the Guatemalan border where we were guided through the immigration area at the border, and then our guide, Omar Ayala, met us on the Guatemalan side of immigration. It's a 2 hour drive, over sometimes bumpy roads, to Tikal. Our tickets had been purchased prior to arriving at Tikal by Tikal Go and this helped to avoid a line of cars waiting to purchase tickets upon arrival there. Omar was a very informed, friendly guide. He knew Tikal very well, took us on trails where there weren't large groups of people, and described all of the temples to us while there. We had discussions about Mayan culture and he was willing to answer our questions. We love private tours and this was perfect. We were back at our hotel by 5 pm. I'd highly recommend Tikal Go!

Fantastic tour! - Highly recommend this tour with Tikal Go! Our drivers and guide (Omar) were all professional and incredibly knowledgeable! They accommodated my celiac disease perfectly at the restaurant and the food was SO good. We saw spider and howler monkeys, coatimundi, tons of butterflies. And the temples were incredible. We opted for taking a car partway instead of hiking and were thankful for that option. Also, if you can go during the slow/rainy season, there were no crowds and it was just my partner and I in our tour group!

Reckless tour driver with Go Tikal. Maybe don’t go with this tour operator. - Our tour driver in Guatemala was reckless and nearly crashed into the car in front of us. The guide was knowledgeable, but unfortunately his accent made it hard to understand about half of what he said. He have a ton of information, facts & figures, that was hard to absorb. Disappointing.
