FAQs

Question

Which airport should we fly into?

Answer

Guests should fly into La Aurora International Airport in Guatemala City, usually listed as GUA. Antigua is about 45 minutes to 1.5 hours from the airport depending on traffic.

Question

Can you help us arrange airport transportation?

Answer

Yes. If you would like help, please send us your flight arrival time, airline, number of passengers, and where you are staying in Antigua. We will do our best to connect you with a trusted transportation option. You can also Uber from the airport to Antigua as another option.

Question

Should we rent a car?

Answer

Most guests will not need to rent a car. Antigua is very walkable, and taxis, tuk-tuks, and private drivers are available for longer trips. Parking can be limited, and driving in Guatemala may feel chaotic if you are not used to it.

Question

Is Uber available?

Answer

Uber is generally available in Guatemala City and sometimes in Antigua, but availability can vary. For airport arrivals and late-night transportation, we recommend arranging a trusted driver in advance.

Question

Where should we stay?

Answer

We recommend staying in or near central Antigua so you can easily walk to restaurants, cafés, shops, and wedding events. We have included recommendations on our travel page.

Question

Should we book early?

Answer

Yes. Antigua is a popular destination, and accommodations can fill up quickly, especially around weekends and holidays. Please book as early as possible.

Question

Are hotels or Airbnbs better?

Answer

Both are great options. Hotels may be easier for guests who want concierge help, transportation support, and daily service. Airbnbs are great for families or groups traveling together.

Question

Can I drink the tap water?

You can exchange money or withdraw quetzales from ATMs after arrival. We recommend using ATMs inside banks.
