Great day spent in Tikal with Reyes, my driver / guide for the day ! Spoke perfectly English, and had a extensive knowledge of the site, the Mayan dynasties, the history of the Mayan civilization : immersive day in the life of the Mayans, we went through all the places in the park, even some hidden places, loved it. The minivan had AC, very confortable. The trip started at 8am to finish back to Flores around 4pm, water bottles and park entrance provided, and also a lunch in the park (good soup & grilled chicken / rice plate). Healthy food, no risks 😉 We made a small stop in a shop on the way, interesting to see a replica of a Mayan tomb with a Mayan codex (no obligation to buy anything). Great day globally !!Renea1986

Highly recommend Maya Adventure Travel. We were unexpectedly rained out of Nakum but Reyes quickly arranged things including very sturdy transportation so that we could visit Naranjo instead. Very knowledgeable, very well organized. They will customize an adventure/trek for you as well.
