Description
If you´re looking for the best way to travel from Antigua to Lake Atitlan or, vice-versa, this is an excellent choice. These two beautiful locations are 2 1/2 hours apart. To make your trip comfortable and pleasant, all our minivans are equipped with A/C and reclinable seats. They are recent models with insurance for passengers and our drivers are friendly and well experienced. With our private one-way shuttle service, you can book our minivans exclusively for your family or group of friends. To make your time on the road less exhausted, the driver can do 1 or 2 stops along the road. There are good restaurants with small handicraft exhibits, and it might be a good idea to stop for some minutes, stretch legs, buy good cup-of-coffee, use facilities or shop for local products. This is a great option if you want to book a safe, comfortable and reliable transport.

Robbed due to driver negligence
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!
Operator response
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.

Marvin is a great...
Marvin is a great person, however the route from Atitlan to Antigua has many curves and we had to tell him to drive slower and more cautiously because he was going so fast. To the point where the tires squealed on a bend and he evidently looked scared. Besides, this time we got a little bus instead of a car, it wasn't comfortable.

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.

On Time, Spacious but Dangerous Driving
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.
Operator response
