Excellent trip, albeit a long one from San Ignacio. We were taking to the border and to cross to meet tour guide on the other side, a little bit daunting not being accompanied but was easy enough. Long car journey to get to Tikal but well worth it. Guide spoke great English and was very knowledgeable. Border crossing on the way back was the same, but we had to wait around 30 minutes for pickup due to unexpected traffic - a little scary but all good in the end.

This was my second tour out of three with MayaWalk and it was amazing just like the rest! We were picked up from our hotel bright and early and then a small group of 5 headed to the border along with the driver. MayaWalk took care of the departure fees, which was great. The transition to the driver and guide in Guatemala was great. We saw all the major highlights of Tikal and I really appreciated the additional ride up to Plaza Mayor, which saved us both time and energy. We made two stops along the way - for coffee on the way up and an amazing lunch on the way back (make sure to eat before the trip because the lunch is kinda late. There was a woman selling some food at the shop with the coffee, and we had a couple empanadas there). My only wish was that we'd made a quick stop at Lake Petén Itzá for a photo (but I never asked the guide, so I can't complain). All in all, a great trip!

Tikal gehört zu den wichtigsten Maya Sehenwürdigkeiten, nur durch Mexico übertroffen. Wer in der Nähe ist muß hin ( zb San Ignatio ) Grenze ist easy, und sie bekommen 3 weitere Stempel. Das Essen war gut arrangiert und schmackhaft. Negativ: Der Reiseleiter rennt 3,5 Stunden durch die Anlage, es ist sehr anstrengend, Rücksicht auf Älter, die nich so gut die Stufen gehen können gibt es nicht. Jeder Kaktus wird den US Besuchern erklärt, unwichtig und kostet Zeit

This is a great way to make a quick trip from Belize to Tikal and back to Belize in one day. The tour operations is a well oiled machine and everything went smoothly. Due to heat and time limits at Tikal, while enroute do not accept the stop on the way for breakfast and minimize the (mandatory?) bathroom/driver rest stop. Our driver and tour guide had a coffee and some food at our bathroom stop. Only to arrive later and hot due to mid-day sun. Just note there is a hard time to leave Tikal, 3:00 pm due to how the tickets are set up. If you want to stay after 3:00 you must purchase another 'sunset' ticket. So, any delay starting Tikal tour will reduce your time to see all expansive complex. Also on the way back we did not have a restroom stop and the driver drove faster and less smoothly. Note all the tour guides and companies work together so we picked up two extra people to transport back to Belize. This incurred a 30+ minute delay leaving Tikal and a 15+ minute at the boarder, since they did not have a 'day pass' and were entering Belize from Guatemala for the first time. Also, bring extra water (3+ liters) or be prepared to purchase water. Tikal tour is awesome and do climb as many temples as possible the view is spectacular. We saw some spider monkeys and toucans. Included lunch was ok.
