I had a great experience with my transfer from Antigua to Guatemala City Airport. The driver was right on time, and we made it to the airport in an hour on Sunday morning. Comfortable shuttle and friendly driver.

The shuttle was cost effective. It did take an hour to pick up passenders in Antigua which put us over the scheduled time to arrive at the airport.

The communication is very good. I have used this company on our asian trips too and have learned to trust them. The bus to Rio dulce was very good. The only thing is they state that there is wifi but it did not work
