Chicken buses (retired US school buses) are the main local transport but can be crowded - keep valuables secure

Most intercity buses depart from Guatemala City's main terminal or Antigua's central bus station

Tuk-tuks are common in Antigua and tourist areas - agree on the fare before starting your journey

Long-distance shuttle services between tourist destinations like Antigua, Lake Atitlán, and Tikal typically require advance booking

Unofficial Taxi Drivers: Unlicensed drivers may approach you inside or just outside the terminal offering rides at seemingly good rates, but may overcharge, take longer routes, or in rare cases pose safety risks. Avoid by only using official airport taxi services from authorized counters inside the terminal, or pre-book transportation through verified services.

Currency Exchange Scams: Airport currency exchange services may offer poor rates or use confusing calculations to shortchange travelers. Avoid by exchanging only small amounts at the airport for immediate needs, using ATMs from recognized banks instead, or arranging currency exchange at reputable locations in the city where rates are typically better.

Fake 'Tourist Information' Helpers: Individuals posing as helpful airport staff or tourist information agents may direct you to overpriced transport services, hotels, or tours where they receive commission. Avoid by only seeking assistance from official airport information desks clearly marked with airport branding, and politely declining unsolicited help from individuals approaching you in arrival areas.
