I've been to Guatemala many times before but have always depended on local friends and family to drive me around the country. I will be taking my girlfriend for the first time and want us to travel on our own keeping the friends and family at bay. I want her to feel as safe and comfortable as possible as this will be her first trip outside of the states.
I've considered renting a car but I really think I'd prefer not to waste time getting lost and also think it might be safer if I don't drive (if you've been there you know driving is crazy). Does anyone have advice on traveling from the city to Antigua to Panajachel, to the Puerto San Jose, etc? I'm open to shuttles, prefer to stay away from the local bus system but would be open to better known bus lines. Also, does anyone know any good places to buy airline tickets from Guatemala city to Tikal?
Thanks!
