What travelers are saying
Our tour was terrific. We weren’t sure what to expect, but it exceeded our expectation. The transportation went smoothly, which involved some logistics with the border crossing. Our tour guide met us in Guatemala, his name was Pinky he was very knowledgeable, and we learned so much about Tikal, the Mayan people and Guatemala. I would recommend this tour.
The guides we had for Tikal were our favorite from our entire trip!
