Getting around
There is a choice of ways to travel in Guatemala safely and efficiently:
Private guided touring
An English speaking guide, who will usually also be your driver, accompanies you between destinations and on excursions in each place. You can sit back and relax while you travel, gain some real local insight, and make the most of your time.
Private transfers
An experienced local driver (not necessarily English-speaking) collects you from your hotel and transfers you to your next destination. There are no travel worries, it is a private service, and you have your independence in each location. Pick-up times can be adjusted to suit you.
Flights
Where distances are long it can make sense to take an internal flight, for example to Flores in Petén. Guatemala City is the national hub.
