Review of Antigua to Guatemala City Airport shared shuttle: price, pickup, traffic advice, comfort, safety, timing, and who should book.

“I thought I would be in a minibus style shuttle to the airport for the $20 charge. Ended up being a small sedan with 2 other people. The driver was nice, but my seatbelt didn’t work and the car was missing headlights. He picked me up on time and we arrived safely and I think that’s the most important part.”

Review of the Pacaya Volcano day tour from Antigua or Guatemala City, with hiking, horses, lava views, Calderas Lagoon, tips, costs, and practical advice.

“The driver picked us up promptly the morning of the hike and we drove to the starting point of the Pacaya Volcano! The hike was genuinely not that hard - our guide Louis wasn’t comfortable speaking English so we tried our best to understand what he tried to explain to us through the journey. We roasted marshmallows at the top - there was no pizza making at the volcano although it’s mentioned in the day trip description? As the other comments suggest, the guide does have a couple of dogs that walk all the way through the hike with you - so bring some biscuits to feed them! On our…”

Review of the Lake Atitlan day tour from Guatemala City or Antigua, with boat rides, Mayan workshops, guides, costs, timing, and practical tips.

“I gave this 3 stars because of the views. The itinerary states, "we will participate in 3 cultural workshops: One of the natural dyeing of textiles, one of the medicinal herbs used by the indigenous people, and a chocolate workshop." We only did the first one. Also I requested an English speaking guide in my booking. 5% of the tour was in English. I did reach out to the company via What's app, however nothing changed. I also stated how we didn't follow the itinerary according to the description. The guide truly did what he wanted to do. I basically paid $300 for a bus ride. We were supposed to…”

Review of Guatemala City’s $30 walking and public bus tour, covering Zone 1 landmarks, Central Market, local guides, timing, value, and practical tips.

“Excellent walking tour. It ended up being just me and my partner so we had a private tour! Armando was very informative and friendly, and knew a lot about Guatemala City from his experiences working there and being a previous firefighter! He imparted a lot of information, including about the government structure, Mayan history, and architecture. We saw lots of things within zone 1, and went to places we wouldn't have known about. Highly recommended!”
