Tikal is a Wonderful place to see. The flights are scheduled from GC to Flores so it can be done in a day...I think it will cost about $250PP for flight and guide. Flight is about 30 minutes, then it is a 1 hour or 1.5 hour drive to the ruins. We stayed overnight in Remate which is halfway between Flores and Tikal, but there were a lot of people doing a day trip to Tikal. I would not worry about taking the anit-malaria pills...you can discuss it with your doc, but I would just bring a lot of heavy duty mosquito repelant and apply liberally.
There's a lot of walking and climbing. I would not bring a baby.Go to the gym and do lots of stairclimber before you go. The most enjoyable part of Tikal is atop of the temples, which is a lot of stair climbinb.
