★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 38 reviews · 7 - 11 hours · from $129Our pick

Start before dawn with Gem Trips, walking through Tikal’s jungle to Temple IV for sunrise sounds, wildlife and breakfast. Guides such as Marlon and Jose explain Maya architecture, plants and animals before leading you through the North Acropolis, Great Plaza, Central Acropolis, Temples II and I. Lunch and hotel transport are included.

“Our trip with Marlon was very special. He is very knowledgeable about the ruins, and also the flora and fauna of the area. Marlon has thoughtfully planned each element of the tour, which makes the day run very smoothly. All of the meals are also great- we had a pre-sunrise coffee and snack, breakfast, and a delicious lunch. Would highly recommend this tour 😊”

“Nosotros realizamos con mi pareja la excursión a Tikal con el equipo de GemTrips y fue excelente. El guía y el piloto fueron atentos y con mucho conocimiento sobre el lugar histórico. La pasamos genial y sin duda volveríamos a contactarlos!!”
