Itinéraire
À votre arrivée à l'aéroport de Flores, vous serez conduit au parc national de Tikal (Parque Nacional Tikal), un site classé au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO. D'une superficie de plus de 550 km2 (341 miles carrés), ce parc national contient des milliers de structures de ruines séparées dispersées, chacune pleine d'histoire fascinante. Visitez les ruines mayas avec votre guide expert et explorez tout, de l'Acropole centrale, un labyrinthe de cours et de petits temples, au Complexe Q et R, où vous verrez des complexes de pyramides jumelles avec des autels placés devant les temples. Visitez le gigantesque temple I, le temple du Grand Jaguar. De l'autre côté, visitez le tout aussi beau Temple II, le Temple des Masques. Ensuite, savourez un délicieux déjeuner au parc national de Tikal avant d'avoir du temps libre. Ensuite, retournez à l'aéroport de Flores pour commencer votre transfert de retour à Guatemala City.
Votre guide vous montrera le Temple I, situé sur la Grande Place, il est également connu sous le nom de Temple du Gran Jaguar en raison d'un linteau qui représente un roi assis sur un trône de jaguar. Le temple I est une structure pyramidale à gradins en calcaire typique de Petén, datée d'environ 732 après JC.
Visitez le Temple II ou le Temple des Masques, "Los Mascarones". Le temple a été construit à la fin de la période classique dans un style rappelant le début de la période classique. Le Temple II est situé sur le côté ouest de la Grande Place, en face du Temple I.
Le temple de Tikal IV était l'un des bâtiments les plus hauts et les plus volumineux du monde maya. La pyramide a été construite vers 741 après JC. Le temple IV est situé à l'extrémité ouest du noyau du site. Profitez d'une vue mystique et époustouflante depuis le sommet de la structure de 65 mètres de haut.

Well worth the early start!! A truly memorable experience in the jungle. The wildlife and Mayan temples made this a highlight of my time in Guatemala
Excellent execution from the airport transports to and from the hotel to the experience itself. Things that are good to know: we had time to eat once we arrived at the airport in Flores. There were several walkable restaurants around the airport but there was also a little cafe we enjoyed breakfast at the airport. We had a small transfer bus. There were two tour guides for the language requirements. Funny and excellent senses of humor along with the bus driver. Tour guide, Edro, was fantastic. Excellent English. Wonderful at spotting birds and wildlife while walking through Tikal. So much to learn about from the guides. Overall a fun day. Worth every effort and penny to get there. Highly recommend.
Long day, but completely worth it! Everything was well-planned and executed from start to finish. Herbert, our guide for the day was knowledgeable and patient with our group and we saw everything we needed to see. It’s a lot of walking, but mostly flat and when there are steps, there aren’t a lot of them and they’re on a small incline. You’ll definitely enjoy this tour! I visited at the end of May, so it can rain in the afternoon, but we were done at two. I packed an umbrella, but didn’t have to use it. Do bring sunscreen and a hat! Lunch was after the tour at a local restaurant not too far away and I enjoyed everything they had prepared! One piece of advice for the airport is the domestic entrance is hidden a bit. After checking in, you’ll go through sliding glass doors to get through security and through screening. When you go through the glass doors, go down the escalator and keep walking straight until you walk into the wall (almost) and the domestic line will be to your left. The other lines are for international and those signs are posted everywhere.
Must-see places! One of the most beautiful destinations is Tikal — absolutely breathtaking and unforgettable.
Excellent tour. Ruins are in good condition. Excellent service by both the driver and tour guide. Ample free time to view ruins after guided tour.
This was a really precious once in lifetime experience in a truly magical place. Miguel was such a great guide he knows this terrain like the back of his hand he truly gave us the inside track. Tikal is an incredible place the temples the forest the wild animals surrounding us I'd do this all over again.
Tour was great. No issues at all. Well organized. Tikal is fabulous, must see. Definitely recommend when in Guatemala.
I wanted to see Tikal, but didn't want to spend the night in Flores, so I chose this trip as it included transportation to/from my hotel in Guatemala City to the airport and transportation to/from Flores airport to Tikal plus a group tour (with English speaking guide) at Tikal. The company was good with communication, messaging me in WhatsApp days beforehand to let me know of a different flight schedule than usual and asking it it was okay. They also did a good job of connecting me with the various drivers, though some of them connected with me before the company provided the contact info. There was a bit of a mixup on my pickup time though between the company and the driver. My hotel pickup time was changed from 04:00 to 03:30 but the driver didn't arrive until 04:00 (for a 05:00 flight). Thankfully it took less than 10 minutes to get to the airport so I had no problem making my flight. When I arrived in Flores I didn't see anyone to meet me, so I messaged the driver and he walked up a minute later. Our tour time wasn't for over an hour so he drove me to the Flores Island area to walk around or get breakfast. He picked me up again then picked up the other people for the group, then dropped us off with the van driver and tour guide. We drove up to Tikal and had an excellent tour. When we drove back to Flores, the van dropped me off at the airport even though my flight wasn't for 2.5 hours. This was different than what the company had stated would happen (which was that I would be taken to Flores to spend the time before my flight there). This was slightly annoying, as there is nothing at the airport. So I walked across the road and went to Wendy's. Apparently the company didn't tell the driver picking me up at the airport in Guatemala City that the normal flight schedule didn't apply that date as he messaged me to let me know he near the airport and to let him know where I was. At that point I was still in Flores with 2 hours before my flight. I let him know my scheduled arrival time in Guatemala City. When I finally got there he found me and drove me back to my hotel. You could probably do this same trip cheaper by booking your own flights to Flores, using Uber to get to from airports, and booking the Tikal tour (which all leave from Flores) separately. But having the company on the hook for making sure all that linked together to make sure you make it back takes some of the stress out of the whole ordeal.
Loved my trip to Tikal. Everything went smoothly from the start. Drivers were punctual and the guide was very knowledgeable.
Nothing to enjoy, just seeing 4 temples but totally destroy. $448 / tour is too expensive. Pick up and drop off are okay but it is very hard when you at the airport, nobody speaks English to help.
