Number ONE!! We visited Tikal, Yaxha, Antigua, and Lake Atitlan. The guides speak excellent Italian and are extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. The drivers are friendly and the vehicles are new and comfortable.
Among the best organizations I've seen around the world, thanks to Carlos' impeccable supervision! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

This was a phenomenal trip! We were collected from our Airbnb in San Ignacio and taken for a 2 day/1 night tour so we did sunrise at Tikal.
We didn't expect it to be, but it was ended up being a private tour (just myself and a friend). Our guide (Omar) was not only a very friendly and kind person, he was also extremely knowledgeable and passionate about Mayan history.
The beauty and magnitude of Tikal itself is hard to explain or capture. A visit is a must if you are in the area!
While the trip felt like it was on the expensive side, it was well worth the money. We would both do it again if we were ever in the area!

We had an amazing experience with our guide, Nate. He shared great information while also letting us have some freedom to explore and take everything in! He was able to point out and identify lots of different birds and animals for us. I had really wanted to see Coati and he knew of an area they frequently went and was able to get us over there to see them. Highly recommend this tour guide!

Fantastic sunset tour with Toolio! Very knowledgeable about the history of the Mayans as well as the animals in the jungle.. really needed him for guiding us out of the park after dark too! Well done and highly recommended!

My husband and I agreed - Tulio was our favorite guide we had in a while. We had such an exceptional experience touring Tikal. Not only is the site amazing, but Tulio gave the perfect tour. He knew a ton, and he kept the tour engaging for both myself (history lover) and my husband (not so much). He was able to answer all our questions, and was so incredibly patient when we got a late start or wanted to spend more time enjoying the views at a particular spot. I also love how he would teach us about each place, then give us time to explore on our own, and then regroup, so we could take our time and decompress, but also learn a ton. It was exceptionally well done. I highly recommend a visit with Tikal Go!

My tour guide Nata lives nearby and is passionate about Tikal history and culture. He was very informative, but also laid back and friendly. I always have a ton of questions, which he encouraged and answered. He was very flexible with how we spent the time, and even agreed to stop at an interesting cemetery on the way back, where he explained the local customs. Then he had the driver, Carlos, stop briefly in his hometown, where we sampled food from roadside stalls and stopped into a town celebration in the local park. He and the driver were so kind and knowledgeable. It was a wonderful day and I would definitely recommend this private tour with Nata.

We took a helicopter ride to El Mirador Organized by Tikal go. It was an extraordinary experience to see the ruins of the Mayas in an as yet to be fully explored state. Very few tourists get the chance to visit this Special place. Our local guide Cesar Was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic. While the ruins of Tikal are certainly magnificent, Those of El Mirador allow you to understand what is involved in uncovering from the Jungle these forgotten palaces. Highly recommended.

I did a tour to Tikal with them on April 13th.
Tikal is amazing and I totally recommend it.
The only issue was the guide we had.
She was more focused in wildlife, wasting a lot of time looking for some hawk, any bird or trees present in tje park than tje ruins itself.
Tje worst part came when she jump over a forbidden area to show us an original monkment and she started to explain it by touching it to show us where the head of the warrior or the jaguar can be found.
Totally inadmissible to me.
Tikal amazing but Tikal go tours should care much more about the guides tjey hire to work with tourist.
She didn’t have enough experience and knoledge but also she didn’t respect the rules and damaged an ancient Mayan Estela.

Our tour was fantastic from start to finish. We booked a private sunset tour, and even though we didn’t see the sunset due to cloudy weather, our guide Nate was so fantastic it honestly didn’t make a dent in our experience. He was professional, kind, and understanding regarding personalised needs (my spinal injury). Nate was well-versed in all topics, whether archaeology or ornithology, and we couldn't recommend him enough. His ability to answer all of our questions made the conversations very fulfilling and worthwhile. Our driver was also friendly and right on time at our hotel -- even though it was a little out of the way compared to many other hotels.

Magical day trip to Tikal with our guide Donald! He was very knowledgeable and gave an insight into the Mayan people of Tikal. How they lived, built the temples and palaces with limestone bricks, followed the stars, the seasons, and worshipped their gods. Our small group enjoyed walking through the jungle paths to stay in the shade. We climbed all the staircases to the top of the temples for the fabulous views. Donald made the day with his humour and was happy to answer questions. And the lovely lunch was a bonus!

Roel our guide was so knowledgeable, open minded and accommodating to our needs. We had an amazing day in Tikal and be prepared to walk over 10,000 steps easily. The schedule was just a little unclear with the company and did not totally match what we had paid for. We had to purchase sunset tickets even though our $199 a person tour said it included sunset. So be sure to confirm. We are waiting on our $24 refund. Other than that it was amazing!

Great tour company. Very well organized and professional. We went on a Tikal tour from Guatemala City. They met us at the Flores airport. Our driver Jonatan and our guide Roel were both excellent and took great care of us. We had a later flight back to Guatemala City and they let us hang out in their air conditioned office and charge our phones and just relax. I would definitely recommend them for a fun, well organized tour

Incredible experience doing the sunrise tour with Nate! He picked us up right form the hotel, gave us some food, and even let us nap a little on our early ride into the park. He gave us lots of background information on the park, and the entire day he shared loads of information about Mayan culture- past and present. You can tell how passionate he is about what he does and all the conservation efforts in the park- we loved learning about the wildlife, trees and nature! Unfortunately we had a rainy day so the jungle wasn't as loud as other experience at sunrise, but it was still a beautiful experience and adventure to last a lifetime!

We had an exceptional private tour of Tikal, Guatemala, organized by Tikal Go. Booking our full-day excursion from Guatemala City was incredibly easy, and the organization was outstanding.
Upon arrival at the airport, we were warmly greeted by our guide, Alex, and our driver, Lionel, who drove us in a very comfortable and well-maintained minivan. The tour itself was excellent—Alex was knowledgeable, engaging, and ensured we had an unforgettable experience exploring the incredible ruins of Tikal.
On the way back, they gave us the opportunity to explore the charming island town of Flores, which was a wonderful addition to our trip. Afterward, Tikal Go arranged for our transfer to the airport, making the entire experience seamless and stress-free.
We highly recommend Tikal Go for anyone looking for a well-organized and memorable visit to Tikal!

Magnificent, memorable. From the first moment we contacted them there was very good communication. The transportation to Tikal (Manuel), the transfer Guatemala to Petén, very good service. The guide Alex EXCELLENT. A very patient Aníbal waited for us at La Aurora airport despite the delay due to bad weather. Communication and coordination at all times.
We highly recommend it.

My experience with TikalGo was ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC the entire process from ordering to attending the tour. My girlfriend and I had to schedule a tour literally last minute, but the TikalGo customer service representatives were so courteous and worked hard to make it work for us. They arranged a flight and all driver details for us, with the drivers selected being excellent (including being thoughtful enough to offer to stop somewhere to pick up food for us before going back to the hotel because it was 10 pm when our flight returned).
We chose the extended tour and the hotel chosen for our stay in Flores was amazing! The tour guide we had was also fantastic. He was fluent in both Spanish and English and you could tell he had a deep passion for his work. Having a private tour allowed us to really appreciate this fascinating historical site and ask questions freely.
All said, the value of this tour package was incredible and I look forward to going with them again!!

This was a once in a lifetime experience. You start your day early with a 545 am flight to Flores. From there you meet your guide and have local breakfast (you pay). Then you head to the ruins and hike about 30 minutes and start seeing the different temples. Wear proper clothing,shoes, have enough water, sunscreen, insect repellent. Definitely not an easy one, but worth it. You have free time to explore and climb the different temples. After we take another route to see other temples and also head back at the same time. Then we go for included lunch ( except drink you pay for) . Then we had time back to the city of Flores and explored the little island for 1.5 hour. We got ice cream, souvenirs and seen the Peten sign. After we were dropped to the airport for our flight back. As a suggestion, pack another pair of clothes and shoes because you never know how your night can go. For example our flight was delayed three hours because of pouring rain. Not in anyone's control, but I did wish I had a chance of clothes. It also a full day tour.

The car was waiting for us at the airport. Nice drive to Tikal with a few facts along the way. Once at the park, our guide went above and beyond to make sure we could see all the sites and wildlife we wanted to see. He was knowledgeable on everything there. He took time to help my aging mother-in-law through some tough areas. It was an A+ package and an A+++ guide.

It was so easy to organize my trip to Flores and Tikal with Tikal go. They manged the flights from Guatemala City and arranged transport, hotel, and guide for the national park visit. My guide Noel, was also knowledgeable. He shared details about the history and environment surrounding all pyramids. I had a great experience.

Tikal Go is an excellent tour company. I highly recommend them. We did the Tikal
Sunrise tour. They picked us up at our hotel in BZ helped us with the border crossing. We were in the park for several hours. Stayed the night in the jungle lodge and then my husband did the sunrise tour. They brought us back to our hotel. They made everything very easy.

Our Tikal Go experience was one of the highlights of our trip to Guatemala. Our guide, Ruel, was pleasant, knowledgeable, and able to answer all our questions about everything. He helped us understand deeply the things that we saw and didn’t see. Our driver, Antonio, was competent and reliable in every way. It was easy to spend the whole day with them exploring a magical, historical place.

The tour with Tikal Go Tours from Flores to Tikal was an all in all very positive experience.
Both the driver and guide were very sweet and good at what they did. We learned a lot of interesting things about Tikal and the Mayans, and the guide answered all our questions. One of us had a little too many questions and I would have liked it if there had been a bit more quiet, so that we could fully take in the sounds of the jungle, the trees, the animals, and a chance to take in the fact that we were in a stunning place that was built thousands of years ago. A place that is still it fully uncovered. It's like being in a proper Indiana Jones movie. Although Star Wars was filmed here. I did get a bit of actual silence when we went off the track. That was very nice.
After having been to Chichen Itzá the week before, I was not quite prepared for just how big Tikal was and the fact that it was a proper hike through the jungle. There's a lot of walking, very easy access if you keep to the made pathways. The walk up the temples is a bit strenuous. However, if you're prepared for it, it is absolutely amazing. So wear comfortable shoes. If you have asthma, bring an inhaler and just take it one step at a time. It is absolutely worth the effort.
The temples are so well preserved and absolutely stunning! The views from on top is breathtaking! I highly recommend you going up them. And I definitely recommend you going on a tour with a guide that can tell you about the place, instead of going on your own. And Tikal Go Tours is a very good option.
After the tour we had lunch in the jungle. They made an effort and made food that was catered to my dietary needs.
I highly recommend visiting Tikal on this tour.
