2 hours and 30 minutes.

There are some options on the Travel section. If you arrive on Thursday 30th, we are planning to go to Antigua Guatemala, the hotels in Antigua usually offer a shuttle service to pick up from the airport and take you directly to the hotel, sometimes is included with your room sometimes an extra charge between $15-$25. "Hotel Casa Santo Domingo", "Hotel Soleil La Antigua" usually offer this service from the airport to the hotel in Antigua. If you want to be taken directly to Panajachel, there are options to choose from on the Travel section and the hotel Jardines del Lago also offers a shuttle service for an extra fee like $25. Per person. There is Uber in Guatemala City, you could also use this service. If you are using a shuttle, make sure to book it a few days in advance, have the WhatsApp of the driver or phone number of the company for communication. Be clear about how many sits you need and the arrival time, ask for them to pick you up with a sign with your name on it.

You can find information in our travel section

You can call the shuttle services 7762-6115

You will be asked to pick up your baggage (if you have some) the go to customs. DO NOT GO OUT TO THE STREET without knowing your taxi, shuttle or uber ride is waiting for you there. Do not wait on the street. Just next door of the airport at the right if you want a drink while waiting for your ride to arrive. People will offer to carry your bags, is best you carry your own stuff, they expect you to tip them for it, unless you have a lot of baggage is not worth it, just carry your own bags.

I am willing to help, but like you I would be on my way to Guatemala or unavailable sometimes. We will create a WhatsApp group with the people that RSVP , to keep communication open for all. I recommend adding your shuttle, taxi, number to your WhatsApp, everybody has that app and is easier to communicate via text, the area code is +502. Not all the people speak English in Guatemala, but they would try to offer you answers in English, usually they use Google Translate to communicate I recommend doing the same.

As for now September $1 = Q 7.74 Please use google to ask change on that time, but is usually Q 7.50 - Q 8.00. DO NOT EXCHANGE MONEY IN THE AIRPORT, if you need to just to have Guatemalan currency (quetzales), just do $30.00. Use the ATM for that, it's usually a better rate, also some Tourist stores do exchanging. There are about 5 ATM's in the Santander Street, and few more around the town.

We are not a tipping country, tip is usually included as 10% on your receipt. If you want to tip $2 - $5 is enough, and people are usually very grateful for it, you could get prioritized if ordering drinks at a bar.

We are staying in the hotel from January 31st-February 2nd. Then we will be moving to an Airbnb.

If you decide to stay here, please book by sending an e-mail and saying you are part of our wedding party or connect via WhatsApp, we have gotten special rates and an area specially for our people. Single: Q780.00 = $ 100 Double: Q980.00 = $ 125 (Depends of the change) If you gave us your e-mail the hotel will contact you with all the information you need as what type of room, the rate selected, dates and payment method.
