Summary: 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.

Summary: 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!

Summary: 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!
