Several operators sell multi-day Guatemala trips that US travellers can book online, and none of them includes the flight from the US: Intrepid Travel’s 7-day Heart of Guatemala lists Was USD $1,195, Now USD $1,076 on its US site, and Old Town Outfitters’ 8-day multi-sport trip lists $1399 per person with airport pickup included (both read 10 November 2026).

In short: Decide what the package must cover before comparing prices. Intrepid’s Guatemala-only trip is a 7-day highlands loop from Antigua with no Tikal; its two Tikal trips start and end in Belize. G Adventures and Green Planet Expeditions are the two in this list that fly you to Flores for Tikal, and G Adventures shows no departure dates this season. Every price below is the operator’s own display on the date read; Intrepid’s figures are attached to a specific lowest-price departure.

Intrepid Travel: three trips, only one stays in Guatemala

Heart of Guatemala (trip code QBSG, group size 1 to 16, minimum age 15) is a loop from Antigua: San Andrés Itzapa and Quetzaltenango on day 2, Almolonga by chicken bus on day 3, Chichicastenango market and Panajachel on day 4 (about 3.5 hours of travel), a lancha to Santiago Atitlán on day 5, and back to Antigua for a leader-led orientation walk. The page prices two optional activities: the Fuentes Georginas hot springs near Xela for USD45 and a Maya cooking class in Jaibalito for USD60. It does not go to Tikal or Petén. Intrepid’s warning for this trip: fly into Guatemala City Airport (GUA), not Antigua & Barbuda (ANU).

Land of Belize & Tikal (code QVSE, group 1 to 12, minimum age 15) is a Belize trip with one Guatemalan day. Day 4 crosses from San Ignacio to Tikal National Park with the entrance fee, guide and transport included and returns to San Ignacio; Intrepid says it is an early start and late finish, and notes a mandatory border crossing fee of 40 BZD (or 20 USD), payable at the border. Optional activities in San Ignacio are priced separately, for example Xunantunich (entrance fee and transport) at USD45 and the Actun Tunichil Muknal caves at USD135.

Tikal Guatemala And Belize Short Break (code QBKH, Comfort style, group 1 to 12, minimum age 15) runs Belize City to Flores on day 1, Tikal and Yaxhá in between, and back to Belize City. It names Golden Bay Hotel or similar in Belize City and La Casona del Lago or similar in Flores. Intrepid recommends arriving in Belize City the day or evening before because of a 9.30 am welcome meeting.

Intrepid’s US Guatemala listing also shows an Acatenango Volcano Hike & Antigua Short Break (4 days, Was USD $940, Now USD $705) and multi-country trips such as Discover Guatemala, Honduras & El Salvador (9 days, Was USD $1,750, Now USD $1,489). On all three trip pages read, Intrepid says flights to and from the trip need to be booked separately, that it can help arrange them, and that a single supplement is available if you prefer not to share a room.

Old Town Outfitters: the active option with the airport run included

Old Town Outfitters (phone +502 7922 9593), whose day 2 starts from its shop in Antigua, sells an 8-day, 7-night multi-sport trip it rates Beginner to Intermediate. The days: airport pickup and a 1.5hr transfer to Antigua; a mostly paved beginner bike ride through the Almolonga Valley villages; a Pacaya day hike; a ride to Lake Atitlán; kayaking and hiking at the lake; an overnight on Acatenango; the descent back to Antigua; and the transfer to the airport timed to your flight. It includes a bilingual, first-aid certified guide, private transport for all transfers and tours, and bikes, kayaks and camping gear. Its named hotels are Hotel Casa Antigua (or similar) and, at the lake, Casa del Mundo when available. It says routes can change with local conditions and the guide’s judgement of the group. For the volcano overnight on its own, see the Acatenango hike guide.

G Adventures and Green Planet: the two that fly you to Tikal

G Adventures’ Guatemala Journey (code CGGNG, physical grading 2 - Light, sold under its National Geographic Journeys style) runs Guatemala City to Flores in 8 days: Antigua, Lake Atitlán with a stop at San Juan la Laguna, a flight to Flores, a cooking lesson by Lake Petén Itzá, and a guided day at Tikal. It includes hotels for 7 nights, 7 breakfasts and 2 lunches, an arrival transfer on day 1, and the internal flight; it tells travellers to allow USD270-355 for meals not included. On 10 November 2026 the page showed no departure dates for the rest of the season and no price.

Green Planet Expeditions’ Private Highlights of Guatemala Family Adventure is a private 9-day, 8-night trip covering Antigua, Lake Atitlán, Petén, Yaxhá and Tikal, with a Pacaya climb. Its PDF lists, from US $3,995 per person including local flights, in pricing headed 2025 for an adult sharing a double room, and says hotels may vary with availability. Included: guided tours, English-speaking naturalist guides, airport-hotel transfers, land transport, local flights and boats. Not included: international airfare, tips, airport departure taxes and drinks. Because the trip ends with a 1-hour flight from Flores to Guatemala City, it asks that your international flight home leave no earlier than 11:00 a.m.

What every package leaves to you

The flight from the US is never in the price. After that, the packages split on three points worth checking in writing before you pay: whether the airport transfer is included (Old Town Outfitters, G Adventures, Green Planet) or extra (Intrepid); whether Tikal is a flight from Guatemala City (G Adventures, Green Planet) or a crossing from Belize (Intrepid); and whether the quoted figure is for the date you want, since Intrepid’s prices are tied to a named lowest-price departure.

To plan the same ground yourself, see how many days you need in Guatemala, the ten-night honeymoon route, Guatemala or Belize and the Mexico, Guatemala and Belize itinerary.
