Review of Guatemala’s private shuttle between Antigua, Guatemala City, and the airport, with pricing, timing, comfort, safety, and booking tips.

“I booked the trip the day before and paid $200. I provided the exact address at San Pedro, lake Atitlan. I arrived at the airport at 12:45 and got out at 1:30pm.

“From the moment Davis picked us up, we felt safe and very excited. His English is perfect and he was very knowledgeable about all aspects of the country and the tour. The hike was challenging for us, but not difficult. We are experienced hikers who refused the horses, but I did rent a hiking stick, which I found to be incredibly useful. The tour was worth every penny and I highly recommend it.”

“The tour guide was nice. The driver was way too aggressive when driving, sometimes I was scared!. The "boat" that we take to get across Lake Atitlan was very unsafe to me. It is small and very old. There were times when I thought we were going to capsize or flip over. I went with my daughter. We were both scared and traumatized. I would never do this again! The captain of the boat safely got us to our destination, thank God!”
