One of the biggest cities of the Mayan era, it gives you a notion of the immensity of the Mayan civilization. I recommend using the service of a guide, that can explain all the history and secrets behind the walls of the city.
If you're just visiting the park, 1 night is enough, as the tour takes half a day. Inside you can buy water, sodas, chocolates and cookies, so bring your own snacks if that doesn't apeal to you.

Experiencing Tikal in person is a world apart from simply watching it on YouTube. The awe-inspiring scale of the ancient ruins, the rich sounds of the jungle, and the immersive sense of history are things that can't be fully captured on a screen. Standing among the towering temples, surrounded by the vibrant life of the rainforest, brings a profound sense of connection to the past that no video can replicate.

I stayed on the grounds so there was not much around the area. Tikal was so rich with history and culture of the Mayans. Going to the museums in the park first is helpful to prepare you for what you will see at the ruins and why. The ruins were beautiful despite a lot of them not being excavated yet . Climbing to the top of the dome the ruins was breathtaking to be able to see what they saw. My tour guide was excellent and knew so many things outside of what the signs explained which made the trip more enjoyable.

Tikal is amazing. The structures and views are incredible. The history is unique and interesting.
The area is confusing, but just walking the paths is delightful. Listen for the wildlife. Learn to recognize the structures that are not yet excavated. Align the maps they give/sell you, to navigate more easily.
Guided tours have two costs: tour fee and guide fee. This was a surprise when we settled up at the end. Be sure to ask for total costs.

BEWARE OF THE TOURIST GUIDES (Tikal or the rest of Guatemala)!!! they propose some very expensive visit on Tikal ($70...50....more or less) there is no published rates....so they do what they want...and they want money.
ticket to Tikal is 150 Quetzal if you are a foreigner and 100Q if you are from Guatemala, that you must pay in cash to a bank ( BANRURAL).... and you get no receipt for that!!!

Tikal Was amazing. The ruins were very cool. Many people like to rent a tour guide and they do give you some cool history and educational facts but I loved going in free solo. I was able to explore the ruins on my own time and go to all the different ones I wanted. It might be a good idea to buy a map of the place because there is not a lot of direction signs.

Beautiful place to stay and relax in Tikal National Park Entrance gate to Tikal only 5 minute walk across car park from here. Pool was fabulous lots of sun loungers and umbrellas with shallow end and deep end. Gorgeous bungalow with pool view and mosquitoe nets over the beds.Free water refill area. Place and accommodation is True to photos on Booking.com
If you are planning to do the sunrise Tikal tour, this hotel is fine to stay in. You depart at 4:00am, and enjoy the park with very few other tourists as the main gate doesn't open until 6:00am. The staff were very friendly, and the food in the restaurant was much better than expected (having read mixed reviews!)
It's a fantastic location, at the foot of the Tikal national park. Being deep in the jungle, there are plenty of birds singing and we even saw a little wild pig around. We loved being able to dive in the pool after a day of walking among the ruins of Maya temples.
Very helpful friendly staff arranged park tickets and an excellent guide plus airport transfer which included stopping in Flores
Great food and drink at restaurant
Great location in the park had Tikal to myself at 8am which was amazing
Good value for money
Proximity to Tikal national park is awesome. nice open air restaurant. games pool table. food as restaurant was pretty good. not outstanding but good and fairly priced considering the remoteness
