Superó las expectativas
Realmente valió cada peso. No esperaba que incluyera tarjeta de asistencia médica local, un plus. Sale más que hacerlo suelto, pero te ahorra toda la organización. Sacamos muchísimas fotos, el recorrido pasa por los lugares justos. Si están por Guatemala, no se lo pierdan.

Exactly what we were looking for. No long waits at any point. The setting disconnects you completely. I would recommend this to anyone visiting Guatemala.

Absolutely worth every penny. They gave us plenty of notice about a schedule change. The show started right on time. For what is included, the price is more than fair. If we come back to Guatemala, we will do it again.

Sin palabras
Nada que reprochar, todo salió como estaba planteado. El entrada al Parque Arqueológico Tikal vale por sí solo. La parada en Heart of the Mayan World fue lo que más nos gustó. Lo recomendaría a cualquiera que visite Guatemala.

Recomendo, sabendo o que esperar. Não tínhamos ideia da história de Corazón del Mundo de Maya. O atendimento antes da reserva esclareceu todas as dúvidas. O áudio cortava em alguns trechos. Recomendo no geral.

Nos divertimos, recomendo com uma ou outra ressalva. O entrada para o Parque Arqueológico Tikal veio incluído e é muito bem vindo. Ótimo custo benefício. O preço das bebidas no local é exagerado. Recomendo no geral.
