Temple I rise some 50 meters above the plaza's eastern end. A stone stairway leads up the pyramid's nine tiers, corresponding to the nine levels of the Mayan underworld.
The central part of the ancient city alone contains 3,000 buildings and covers about 16 square kilometers. Tikal is also part of the one-million-hectare Maya Biosphere Reserve created in 1990 to protect the dense forests of the Petén.

Pick up was on time. Guide was knowledgeable, friendly and kept a good pace overall. The site itself is amazing. Would definitely recommend
The day tour I had was made very special due to the tour guide, Eddie [Montenez]. He was highly knowledgeable of Mayan history and culture, as he studied archaeology and pottery. The tour sites listed on the description were all visited and the most amazing view came atop the Temple IV. Heard the howler monkeys, saw a few spider monkeys and came face to face with a coatimundi, friendly creature. We also saw a croc eating a capture on 1st entry. Since it 8hrs, with a break for lunch, it can be tiring but it's worth it. Also, many items of Mayan culture and souvenirs for reasonable price.
Tikal was a year ago. It was my second time there. This time I took my adult son. The tour was quite interesting as I remember. It did not cover several structures I covered the first time, but we were on an OAT tour with our own guides. This tour covered a good bit....probably enough fir most people.
Our tour guide was excellent and explained everything very clearly. Kind of a large group so I stuck by him to make sure I didn't miss anything because Tikal is so fascinating.
We loved this tour! Erdo, our tour guide, was super friendly, funny, and knowledgeable. We learned so much on this tour we were sad to say goodbye at the end. It's worth the money. Lunch was great, and Erdo does his best to explain as many aspects about Tikal as possible. He's also super flexible so of you want to do something, you can ask!
Erdo was an AMAZINGLY knowledgable tour guide. His excitement about Mayan civilization was palpable and I was totally invested in the history of the area. The tour itself is totally worth every penny. You get so much for you money, including a great lunch at a cafe in the rainforest and an opportunity to connect with people from all over there to enjoy the tour as much as you are. Do it!
Loved the tour and our guide. Instead of following the road he took us on trails through the jungle. His english was excellent! They picked us up promptly and made the trip fun and interesting. Lunch was great. Don't hesitate on this one. Super value!
