We too have been to Tikal as a regent ship excursion. For us, it was worth every penny, but it is not for the faint of heart. We flew in a small plane, a Cessna I think. Just us, another couple, a crew member from the excursion staff, and the pilot. Landed on a dirt runway, then we were transported to the site by Jeep. You do need to be reasonably fit.
