    We had the pleasure of having the same driver for 3 trips and he was incredible. He was very kind, communicative and very helpful. The car was very clean and we felt safe the entire time. We learned a lot from him and would definitely recommend this service.

    Robbed due to driver negligence

    Leah_E, May 2026
    DO NOT TAKE THIS SHUTTLE!! We were robbed due to the driver negligence. We were a group of 8 and stopped at a grocery store for supplies before our next stop in Atitlán. The driver took us somewhere between Antigua and Atitlan to a supermarket. We all went in, assuming that the driver would stay with the car and all of our luggage (as they should???). The driver entered the store and left the car unlocked with windows down with all of our bags and luggage. We were robbed of $2k quetzals, a passport, 2 laptops, 2 Bose headphones. We had to call the police and file a report. We had to extend our trip to get an emergency passport from the US embassy. DO NOT USE THIS SHUTTLE SERVICE!

    Response from Host, May 2026

    We are truly sorry to hear about your experience and understand how upsetting this situation was. We would like to clarify that this incident was not intentional in any way. Our driver briefly stepped away due to an urgent personal need, after ensuring that some passengers remained in the vehicle. Unfortunately, all passengers later exited the van, and during that brief moment, third parties took belongings that had been left near the entrance. Our driver was also affected, as his personal belongings were stolen during the same incident. In over 13 years of operating tours, this is the first time we have encountered a situation like this. That said, we take it very seriously and have already implemented additional safety protocols to help prevent anything similar in the future.

    Mario was awesome. Didn't speak English but easy going and tried his best to point out points of interest. Pick up was On time, drove safely on this winding often narrow road. No concerns at all. Lots of flexibility with change in time of pick up. Ie moved from same day scheduled 12 noon to 10am. Excellent communication w Byron (company owner?) on WhatsApp. Def will use again.

    Great Experience

    On Time, Spacious but Dangerous Driving

    Kerri_G, Sep 2025
    We had Osman for both of our transportation to and from Atitlan. The van is spacious and has great AC. Though Osman was always on time, his driving left much to be desired. The road to Lake Atitlan is very winding and Osman drove very fast, passing cars and bikes on blind corners and roads. He did stop us at a great restaurant on the way. I would recommend the service (as they were very responsive on WhatsApp with any changes) but I would likely ask for another driver in the future.

    Response from Host, Sep 2025

    Dear Kerri, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent transportation experience with us. We are pleased to hear that you appreciated the spacious van and the effectiveness of the air conditioning, as well as our responsive communication through WhatsApp. However, we sincerely apologize for any discomfort you experienced due to the driving style. Your safety and satisfaction are our top priorities, and we take your concerns seriously. We´d like to inform you that Osman is no longer with our team as of September 1st. We have taken steps to ensure that our drivers adhere to our safety standards and provide a comfortable experience for all our customers. Your input is invaluable as we continuously strive to improve our service. We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to serving you again in the future. If you choose to travel with us again, we will be happy to accommodate your preferences. Thank you once again for your feedback. Best regards,

    Great ride and driver

    GT negocios is great! We used them for our round trip transport from Guatemala City airport to Antigua as well as Antigua to lake atitlan. Marlon our driver in particular was very friendly and helpful. They were prompt for all 4 pickups. The main contact person for the company on WhatsApp was easy to reach and very responsive whenever we had questions or they had an update. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Guatemala.

    Awesome private shuttle to and from Lake Atitlan!

    Varina_R, Jan 2023
    Our driver, Osmon, was friendly, professional, fun, and very accommodating. The shuttle was clean, comfortable, and Osmon hooked up our playlist so we jammed the whole way there and back. LAKE ATITLAN IS MAGICAL and everyone should experience!

    Amazing

    Janett_P, Aug 2022
    Our drivers name was Alex he picked us at Casa Santo Domingo. He was amazing. He provided a lot of information on our way to the lake. We even stopped at a cute coffee shop for a quick restroom break where you could see the lake from above. Very professional driver we felt very safe

    Excellent drivers for our lake excursion!

    Lindsay_B, Jul 2022

    Marlon is AWESOME

    Paul_K, Feb 2022
    Another awesome ride with Marlon! He arrived up early and helped us pack up- even made an extra stop and assisted us (making phone calls on our behalf, etc) when we had an issue with an ATM machine. My wife gets carsick on twisty roads and he was so compassionate, helping her to feel better. Smooth, safe, professional, and friendly ride. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

    Response from Host, Feb 2022

    Thank you so much for taking the time to share this feedback with us and leave a review. Marlon is definitely one of the best on our team. Thanks for recommending us and we wish you're having a great time in Guatemala!

    Highly Recommend this Shuttle

    Katelyn_C, Feb 2022
    Highly recommend booking this Shuttle to Lake Atitlan from Antigua. I booked twice with them and Rodolpho was my driver both times and he was incredibly kind and a very skilled driver. Rodolpho was always early for pick-up and waited patiently as I gathered my items. He would tell me about the different towns that we passed by and what they're known for and would also point out different types of vegetable farms that were along the way. We even stopped by a viewpoint that overlooked the lake which was beautiful. The ride is windy and bumpy so I'm glad I booked this shuttle as the car was comfortable and clean.

    Response from Host, Feb 2022

    Thank you so much for leaving a review and for sharing this information. We're glad to know you felt comfortable and safe with Rodolfo. He´s one of our best collaborators and we´re happy to have him on our team. Regards!

    Fun journey to Atitlan!

    Kelli_R, Dec 2021
    Our driver Marlon was amazing. He was on time and made the journey from Antigua to Atitlán enjoyable, telling us more about the history of both places and encouraging us to let him know if we wanted to stop along the way (and we did stop in Pastores, where Marlon helped us negotiate to buy a few things!). I’d highly recommend this service for a safe and comfortable journey.

    Response from Host, Dec 2021

    Thank you so much for taking the time to share the experience of using our services. Your feedback is so important. We´re so happy to know that Marlon did an excellent job and you´ve had a great time going to the lake with him. Thanks for recommending us and we hope the rest of your trip is going perfectly!

    Excellent Travel Service

    Anthony_M, Aug 2021
    We took 3 rides - from the Airport to San Lucas, from San Lucas to Panajachel, and from Panajachel to Antigua. All 3 rides were excellent! The drivers were on time, polite, and helped with bags. We enjoyed stops to eat, buy goods, and take pictures. On the way back to Antigua we enjoyed excellent ceviche. Book this company for all of your travel needs in Guatemala.

    Response from Host, Sep 2021

    We're so glad to hear that you had a great time. Thank you for choosing us to discover Guatemala. Greetings!
