Question

When should I buy plane tickets?

Answer

Buy them as soon as you can, as prices do go up closer to the date. If you are flying in, make sure you fly into La Aurora International Airport Guatemala City.

Question

How do I get to Antigua from Guatemala City?

Answer

We recommend you use the Antigua Tours shuttle service to travel from the airport in Guatemala City to Antigua and on your trip back. The trip takes approximately 1 - 1.5 hours on weekends and 2-3 hours on working days (traffic in Guatemala City is next level). The cost per person is $20 (one way trip) or $35 (round trip). Daily departures at any time. *Please reserve your shuttle prior your trip* For more information and reservations visit: https://antiguatours.net/weddings/mutimer-rivas-wedding/

Question

What Should I Expect if arriving Friday AM and leaving Monday AM?

Answer

As noted above the traffic in Guatemala City is horrible...especially on Friday afternoon. We highly suggest trying to come in on Thursday. Not only will this allow you to relax and enjoy the city but it will ensure you don't have to mess with the traffic. However, if you are arriving Friday you should do your best to arrive no later than 1:30 pm. Anytime after 1:30pm and you're looking at a possible 3-4 hour drive. Also, if you are leaving early on Monday morning, you will likely want to leave around 4am - 5am. If you are traveling with Antigua Tours (which we strongly recommend) they will ensure that you leave at the necessary time to catch your flight.

Question

Will the ceremony and reception be in the same place?

Answer

Yes! Both events will be at Casa Santo Domingo Hotel. There is no need to move around.

Question

What is the best way to exchange foreign currency into Guatemalan Quetzal and where can I do this?

Answer

· We recommend to exchange your dollars in Banks in Antigua Guatemala or in the Currency-exchange office at the airport. · ATMs are available in most of the hotels or all over Antigua Guatemala. · Credit cards are accepted in hotels and restaurants. · The Currency may vary by the time of your visit but approximately is: Quetzal (Q) Q7.85 = US$1 Some places accept US Dollars (in cash), but you might get a better deal by paying with Quetzales.

Question

What will the weather be like in December?

Answer

Some refer to Guatemala as the land of eternal Spring. December is usually a month with bright blue skies (no rain!) and temperatures varying from 12 to 23 C (53 to 73 F). Evenings do get a little chilly, though, so make sure you bring a comfy sweater or a jacket.

Question

Answer
