From Flores, visit Tikal with a guided jungle walk and flexible departure times, including a sunrise option from 3:00am.

“Did the tour with Edwin today and it was a very lovely experience! I would highly recommend this tour to any English and Spanish speakers. You do need to buy a park entrance pass separately, but keep in mind all Tikal tours operate this way from what I saw. Its 150 ketzel and you can buy online or the bus pulls up to an building where you can pay on the way there, if that isn't your cup of tea. There is little to no cell service at Tikal but service was good on the bus ride. Tikal was breathtaking and just seeing the scale of the temples with the…”

4.Tikal Sunset Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 234 reviews · 8 hours · from $25

Flores to Tikal at sunset with an English-Spanish guide, air-conditioned van, and a Mundo Perdido 360 view.

“Our guide Alberto the bird man was honestly one of the best guides we’ve had on a 6 week trip through Mexico. He was extremely knowledgeable and perfectly bilingual between Spanish and English which was great for our group. We didn’t have the best weather on our sunset tour and Alberto adapted the tour to make sure we didn’t miss out on sights and pictures despite the gloomy weather and lack of sunset. We later found out he’d already done a sunrise tour the same day yet he still had the energy and patience to give us a great experience after what must have been a very long day. Tikal…”

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.”

“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,…”

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.…”
