The BEST tour to Tikal

Abbey_H, Oct 2022

This was our favorite tour of our family vacation. It was very easy to get through customs and immigration. We had a private van, and our own private tour guide the entire day. Our guide was amazing. She had lots of knowledge & answered every question we had. This is the best way to experience Tikal.

This was a great experience! Very well organized, the guides on the Belizean side and Guatemala side were so knowledgeable, kind, and informative! Bring your own water and an open mind ready to receive some wonderful stories and cultural experiences.

Great trip!
