This experience was very easy. Saul was my driver and he was amazing - he was waiting at the airport when I landed. The instructions were clear and I received several WhatsApp messages guiding my process until I finally met Saul. I felt very safe and taken care of -he offered to stop for coffee food and to use the restroom. I was impressed by the level of professionalism service and the great condition of the van

Our driver Marlon picked us up from the airport and expertly navigated the traffic on the way to Pana. The van was comfortable, Marlon spoke great English, and he stopped at a restaurant along the way so we could have a delicious lunch. Would definitely book again!

I felt unsafe. I regret having to leave this review but felt our driver was traveling way too fast and I was worried the entire trip. It was one of the scariest experiences I have ever had and I experienced car sickness getting constantly jerked around. He also was texting and on the phone. My son was picked up by a different driver the following day and only had a positive experience booking this same trip.

Our flight was cancelled and we were switched to a later flight and when we informed the company of this change their customer service did not provide any assistance whatsoever. They could not adjust the ride and they could not provide us with a new driver, and then they only offered us a 50% refund. We had to scramble to find a new service the day of our flight. This was extremely unprofessional and I do not recommend for tourists who are looking for peace of mind on a travel day
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Dear Julia,
Thank you for your feedback. I'd like to clarify our cancellation policy: cancellations must be made at least 24 hours before the travel date to help us efficiently manage schedules and potentially resell to other customers.
I also want to reiterate that we do not operate at night for safety reasons. Last-minute changes can impact our services for other customers, and we appreciate your understanding in this matter.
If you have any questions or need further assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Best regards,

We had a comfortable and efficient trip. Our driver, Andres, drove safely but got us to our destination as quickly as possible. Even though our flight was delayed, the company was responsive and understanding. Would definitely recommend!

Great ride to Panajachel! Driver arrived on time and were open to changes the day before that helped accommodate our departure.
Sarah_W, Aug 2025
Ride was great. The driver was waiting exactly where he said he'd be. He had a sign with our names also. We had a long drive and he offered a good stop for lunch.

Reliable and trustworthy. Easy pickup at the airport. The driver stopped at a nice place to eat halfway through, and he was very helpful and drove safely. Spoke good English.

Our transfer from the airport to Lake Atitlán was smooth and stress-free. The driver even stopped so we could grab lunch along the way, which we really appreciated. Highly recommend this service for anyone making the journey.

Our driver Osman was great. Knew the area we were going to very well & was able to provide us useful insight. Would absolutely book with him again!
Ethel_G, Apr 2025
Osman waited for us by the I love Guate sign, he was so friendly and polite, and spoke fluent English. He drove us safely to Lake Atitlan despite the high traffic going out of Guatemala city. Highly recommend this service.

Fabulous service and prompt. It was a bad day for traffic in Guatemala City but our driver navigated through mess well. He got us to Panajachel ahead of schedule.

Prompt efficient and very easy. Our driver arrived at our hotel on time. Easy communication with viator to confirm. Great service. Highly recommend.
Steven_G, Dec 2024
Friendly driver, very knowledgeable about our trip, route and safety. Simple set up with a meeting spot and a drop off. I highly recommend a private shuttle, book with confidence.

Marlon was great. Very friendly and knowledgeable. He took us to a great restaurant for breakfast and encouraged us to practice our Spanish with him. I would definitely recommend this company.

Marlon took us to a restaurant and we had a very memorable time. It was my birthday. My friends enjoyed the ride and we stopped when was necessary. Would do it again!
Chloe_S, Jun 2024
Osman was lovely to talk with and practice my Spanish, he took me to an authentic Guatemalan restaurant and taught me about the culture. It felt like a tour! Such a nice experience, thank you :)
Mike_T, Jun 2024
Fantastic experience with our driver, Marlon. Vehicle was clean and air-conditioned. Stopped at clean bathrooms and a great place for lunch on the way to Lake Atitlan. Was very knowledgeable and provided great insights on Guatemalan tourism. Definitely use these guys again if ever in Guatemala. Highly recommended.
Jenna_J, May 2024
Our driver was tracking our flight and at the airport waiting for us upon arrival. We were picked up in a nice, clean van with air conditioning by a driver who spoke very good English. Our driver provided much information about Guatemala and answered any questions that we had. Despite heavy traffic that was out of his control, he safety got us to Lake Atitlan, offered to stop wherever and whenever we wanted, and took us to a unique local spot for lunch.
Benjamin_R, Apr 2024
Very dependable. Driver was on-time and waiting for us at the airport. Extremely friendly and shared a lot of knowledge about Guatemala. A/C was nice in the van. I would recommend to anybody considering using this service.

Marlon was delightful! Very friendly and kind. We were hungry so he stopped at a local restaurant outside the city and we all had breakfast together. He also stopped at a viewpoint so we could take photos. Highly recommended!
Chris_Y, Feb 2024
Amazing and friendly driver. He made sure you were well take care of and enjoyed a few stops along the way to see vista points.
Highly recommend!!!
Elisabeth_O, Feb 2024
Had a fantastic ride and experience with Marlon. He found us at the airport, gave us a great short history of Guatemala. We stopped and a lovely breakfast spot and he dropped us right at our Airbnb.
Jennarose_R, Jan 2024
Great communication and flexibility! The car was clean and comfortable, and the driver was safe and friendly. Would absolutely book again!
MariaJael_N, Dec 2023
Marlon drove us from the Guatemala City airport to our hotel in Lake Atitlan.
We’re giving Marlon five stars for the safe driving, the history lessons, the restaurant recommendations and keeping us entertained the whole trip! He’s the best!
Charlotte_H, Nov 2023
Great service! Driver offered to stop along the way for anything we needed- including to take photos at beautiful lookouts. Fantastic!
Odalia_T, Oct 2023
Unfortunately, we ended up coming to Guatemala when the protests & road blocks are underway , but Viator was great in modifying our reservation to accommodate the limitations of our planned trip. They were very helpful in letting us know about the current situation and keeping us abreast of all matters. Our driver at the airport, Marco, was very friendly and quick to help. Our representative at Viator, Byron was also very good at keeping us notified of any changes in the country. I highly recommend the service.
