If traveling from the airport, you can expect the journey to take around 40-50 minutes depending on the traffic. As you can see at just under 40 Kilometers it is not too far.
To get a visual insight into how this journey looks please see the map below. Firstly let’s get to the most important information for you to be able to arrive in Antigua safely.
I had a bit of a mishap on my first trip to Guatemala but I’ll save that for later. It’s worth noting that I have traveled to Guatemala on more than one occasion and have had various experiences arriving and exiting the countries borders.

If you are specifically interested in a private driver, Alfredo Garcia is bilingual, personable, prompt, and safe, and has nice vehicles: forms of transit from the airport should accept USD. Here are 2 transportation providers I’ve been pleased with in Guatemala for share shuttles, private transfers, and flight arrangements: After a long trip it's kind of nice to exit the airport and see my name on a sign but I usually only do that if I'm arriving after dark or with a group in tow. When I'm arriving at night I have my hotel - arrange a shuttle for me, $30-35 for up to 3 many hotels will make arrangements for you and Spanish schools will, too. You can hire a taxi on the spot cost might be $25-35, depending on your negotiating skills (shared, not per person). Be sure to have your hotel address handy they'll say they know where it is to get your business but that hasn't always the case for me. You may have to wait a few minutes for the van to fill and a few minutes on the other end if others are dropped at their hotels/destinations in Antigua before you are. You can just walk out of the airport and choose someone who has "Antigua" on a sign the cost will be $10 per person. Here's my take, reposted from a previous thread:
