It was a really good day out to Tikal. I thoroughly enjoyed the time spent on the site (approximately 5 hours) learning from the guide on the Mayan civilization of Tikal, an impressive one it was. Our guide was excellent - he kept us all entertained and gave us enough free time on our own to explore the park (the whole park is huge so a guide is probably your best bet if you want to see the main things within a short space of time). I would highly recommend the tour without a doubt.
