1.Tikal Day Trip by Air from Guatemala City with Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 183 reviews · 15 hours (approx.) · from $448Our pick

One day flight to UNESCO Tikal from Guatemala City with bilingual guide, lunch, entrance fees, and hotel transfers.

“There were only four of us in the tour. Our guide, Sergio, was excellent. He suggested getting a ride on the truck from the parking lot up to the ruins. This saved over a half our walk, each way. Take cash for driver tip. The ruins were magnificent and you wonder as you gaze at the landscape to the hills surrounded how many more are villages. We saw spider monkeys! Lunch was excellent. You spend quite a bit of time at the airports. Overall, I highly recommend. Remember sunscreen and bug spray.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 105 reviews · 17 hours (approx.) · from $455

Fly from Antigua to Tikal, explore the UNESCO ruins with an expert guide, and return the same day with lunch, entrance fees, and flights included.

“This was a long day but a really fun day! We left from Antigua at 3:40 in the morning to head to the airport. Getting through traffic and security was a breeze for the short flight. Our guide was an expert at not only Titlan but Mayan history as well. He's been giving tours of Tikal for over 34 years and his father was part of the original excavation team with the university of Pennsylvania. Though it was very hot and steamy, we had some reprieve in the middle of the day with a light rain. Walking the grounds of Tikal can be done by most anyone, I will say,…”

3.From San Ignacio: Tikal Maya Site Day-Trip with Local Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 94 reviews · 8 hours · from $145

From San Ignacio, cross into Guatemala for a small-group guided Tikal tour with lunch, wildlife, and border help in one day.

“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.…”
