Terrific Time in Tikal - We met at the Maya Walk building in San Ignacio at 6:45am then took a very nice shuttle to the border and were walked across to our guide Christian and driver Walter. They were fantastic! Because it was a very small group (just my friend and myself as it was a weekday in what they call the slow season) they asked if we had breakfast yet. We hadn’t so they said they would stop at the best along the way. They called ahead and had a table all set for us. The traditional Guatemalan breakfast was delicious (not covered by the tour but 100% worth it if they say they have time)! We got to Tikal and Christian did an awesome job answering countless questions and explaining the history! He also gave multiple times for us to explore the different areas on our own as well and did not rush us. We left and had lunch at a beautiful spot on the way back which was very tasty! We made it back to San Ignacio around 4:15pm without a glitch. Would totally recommend this company and these guides!

Great Day Trip to Tikal - Prior to arriving in San Ignacio I booked a day trip to Tikal with Maya Walks. Sent an inquiry via email on a Sunday and they were very fast to respond with some options. After further quick correspondence the trip was reserved and paid for. Inquiry to booking within an hour. I stopped in their office in San Ignacio on Burns Street upon arrival and the staff were just as friendly and helpful in person as they are via email. The Tikal tour was perfect and went off without a hitch. A total of eight on the tour. A van collected everyone at their lodging, took us to the border, and walked us through the crossing and exchanging some money. Reggie picked us up on the other side and was to be our tour guide for the day. Along with the driver, Walter. The Tikal park is large and does involve a lot of walking, but we were never rushed and given ample opportunity to explore on our own before moving on to another section. Never rushed. The tour then stops for lunch (included) on its way back to the border. In total it's a near ten hour day, but well worth it.

Excellent tour! - All the reviews are right - this trip is very well organized and our guide, Reggie, was fabulous. The tour of the site was excellent and he spotted two species of toucans, howler and spider monkeys and several other birds that really rounded out the trip for us. It was also crazy hot and humid and he did a really great job making sure we were hydrated and feeling ok. Highly recommend!

Review of one day tour to Tikal from San Ignatio - We agree with the last review. We enjoyed this full day trip to the Tikal Mayan Ruins and thoroughly appreciated the time there. We had an excellent guide to teach us about the amazing society that existed 1700 years ago. The temples are spectacular! One day is enough for this tour but if you could stay in the area and experience the jungle at night and solitude in the early morning, I think that would be very nice!

A great day visiting Tikal - Crossing the border onto Guatemala was easy. We found Guatemala was beautiful. It was a hot day at Tikal. We saw spider monkeys in the trees. Our guide was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. Lunch on the return ride home was very good. Overall this was a great experience!

Well worth the price of admission! - Antonio was an absolute fantastic guide. He provided so much background during the ride and when we're at the site, his enthusiasm rubs off on everyone. Tikal itself is impressive, but made so much more by the background information provided. Highly recommended!

Great experience - Our tour with Mayawalk was great! The group was small (6 people), the transport vans were very nice, the lunch was tasty, and most importantly our guide was knowledgeable and engaging.

Amazing guide - Jesus Antonio was an amazing guide!! Educated, scholarly, and passionate about his the history, the people, and education, he was super friendly and very high energy. He should seriously write a book. Blessed!

Fun Day at Tikal - Guide was great… very knowledgeable. It rained a lot of the day so bring an umbrella if it’s in the forecast. Lunch was delicious. Lots of driving but totally worth it. Crossing the border was easy.

Average at best. - Overall disappointed in tour. Guide was knowledgeable, but seemed disinterested at times and the lunch stop afterwards was pretty bad. Dealing with the company at time varied from great to bad.
