5.00Easy to find the driver upon arrival. The trip took almost 4 hours with a little traffic but the driver was safe and professional, car was clean. Would recommend as a great alternative to taking the tour bus shuttles. The company was responsive over whatsapp and in touch with me until we exited the airport.

4.00My sister gets car sick easily so we needed a private car to get from Guatemala City to Lake Atitlán. Enio was an excellent driver and he sweetly shared his snacks with us. His car could have used new shock absorbers but that was ok and he put the air conditioning on for the whole time, which was so great. But when we got to the docks, our driver took us to the only captain at that dock and we were told we had to pay Q100 for the two of us just to get to the public dock, which was only about 5 minutes away. When we told the tour company that we weren’t happy to be dropped off at a private dock, they said we CHOSE the private boat by accident. I asked the right questions and made the only choice I could with the info I was given. Still, the most important part was a good driver in a comfortable car, and Enio did provide us with those things.
Great experience!

5.00This was the best experience! Worth every penny! Made the long journey a lot smoother and way less headache for us. Our driver, Ruben, was so kind and stopped for us to get lunch and to use the bathroom. Pickup process was seamless and easy. I would highly recommend!

5.00Gustavo with Due South Travels provide our transfer from GUA to Panajachel. He was very friendly, thoughtful, and made sure my husband and I had food and water during the trip. I cannot recommend Gustavo and Due South Travels more!!

5.00Great communication with the driver/company and a smooth ride from Lake Atitlan to GC. Our driver was flexible when we needed to store our luggage at a different location. Would absolutely book with them again!

5.00Our driver Jose was waiting for us on time, he was very kind and stopped for food and drinks. He drove safely and took out the stress from waiting for a shuttle bus, which would add an extra long commute. Couldn’t recommend more!!!
