My wife and I recently traveled to Antigua. We relied heavily on two drivers. Both are extremely trustworthy, affordable, dependable, friendly and knowledgeable about the local area. Although both Rafa and Jaime speak limited English, they would both be great choices for you, even if your Spanish is limited. I will only provide their email addresses here:
- Roundtrip Guatemala City Airport to Antigua & Day Trips -- Rafa was a great driver and truly good soul. He picked us up at the airport and took us to Antigua. We were so pleased by his dependability and kindness we used him to visit a local volcano, as well as for a 2.5 hour drive from Antigua to Lake Atitlan; he came all the way back the following day and picked us up. He was always on-time, friendly and accommodating. He drove us back to Guatemala City Airport. Rafa can be reached at [email protected].
- Local Tuk Tuk rides in Antigua -- Jaime was terrific. He was dependable, extremely accommodating, humorous and very, very knowledgeable about Antigua. Jaime can be reached at [email protected]
Our experience in Antigua was amazing. It is a beautiful place. Of course, there are a lot of beautiful places to visit in the world and old ruins to explore, but what set Antigua apart was the people. Virtually everyone we met was delightful, kind and were genuinely good souls. We only mentioned two here.
