Review of the $25 Flores to Tikal sunset tour, covering temples, wildlife, transport, ticket costs, guides, and practical tips.
“We had an excellent day trip with Sunset over Tikal! Our guide Lloyd was knowledgeable of both the history and the animals and trees at Tikal - he was very humourous as well. We highly recomment him and the great value for money tour as well.”
Explore Yaxha from Flores on a budget sunset tour with transport, bilingual guide, jungle wildlife, Maya ruins, and a Temple 216 sunset.
“Floyd was an excellent guide. He was both knowledgeable and friendly. Our van driver was safe and pleasant. The ruins ourselves were intriguing and we enjoyed being able to climb up many of them. Staying long enough to see the sunset was a plus. It’s a great value.”
Hear Antigua’s eerie legends on a small-group night walk past La Merced, Santa Catalina Arch, Central Park, and Union Tank.
“This tour was great! You get a great look into the history, culture and architecture of Antigua along with the stories that play a huge part in it. Luis, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable, easy to talk to and a lot of fun. I highly recommend him as a guide in Antigua if you have a short amount of time but want to dive into the culture, stories, history and architecture. He did the tour in Spanglish for everyone to understand and it was wonderful! The walking was not bad at all. I definitely recommend wearing comfortable shoes for those cobblestone streets. You do stop along the way from…”

“Went with my 5 year old daughter, and we had an absolute blast! Communication was great from start to finish, Lori and the cowboys were very nice, helpful and knowledgeable. The only issue is that my daughter fell in love with the horse “Princess”, and she can’t take her home.”
Review of Tikal’s private sunset tour from Flores, with a personal guide, wildlife, Lost World pyramid views, transport, and practical tips.
“We had a great time at Tikal, our guide Roni was most attentive, polite and informative, he treated us so well! The site is amazing and a must do when in Flores or Peten. Lunch (included) was ok. All in all a memorable day. Oh and I highly recommend the sunset tour, the site is almost empty!”
Explore Tikal with a guide, spot monkeys and coatis, and watch sunset from an ancient Maya temple with transport from Flores.
“We had a wonderful experience with Tikal Express on our tour to Tikal. Our guide Sergio was extremely attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about the group’s experience. He made the visit to Tikal even more special with his explanations and constant support. Although the tour ended up returning later than expected and we unfortunately missed our bus to Belize, the way the company handled the situation was truly outstanding. Byron, in particular, was incredibly helpful, calm, and solution-oriented. He went out of his way to assist us and managed to arrange a private transfer, which allowed us to continue our trip without major disruption. Travel doesn’t always go exactly as…”
Ride an ATV above Lake Atitlán, visit Santa Catarina Palopó, and watch sunset at Café Flor on this four-hour Panajachel tour.
“At the beginning of the tour our guide was not very engaged and his explanations were brief. We didn't feel accommodated within our group. After the first stop our guide changed his attitude and we started to feel better and enjoy the activity.”

Watch sunset from Yaxha Temple 216 on a guided evening tour from Flores, with transport, entrance, wildlife, and fewer crowds than Tikal.
“Když jsem kupoval tuhle aktivitu , tak jsem se drobet bál, protože tu není moc recenzí. Ale vše proběhlo v pořádku. Jestli letíte do Flores kvůli Tikalu, tak rozhodne do programu doporučuji zařadit i tuhle aktivitu. Yaxha se mi neskutečně líbila, hlavně díky tomu, že nebyla přeplněna turisty , byla tak prázdná. Mohli jste si více užít zvuk zvířat , přítomný okamžik … doopravdy doporučuji.”
Climb Acatenango from Antigua, sleep in a six-person dome, watch Fuego erupt, and see sunrise from Guatemala’s third-highest volcano.
“An sich würde ich unbedingt empfehlen die Wanderung zu machen. Es ist eine wunderschöne Kulisse und einmaliges Spektakel. Wenn möglich würde ich es allerdings mit einem anderen Anbieter machen. Dieser ist definitiv überteuert für was geboten wird.”
Pick a volcano, a shoreline or a market day.
