Lanquin Services

We booked a bus at 6am arrived at 8am, I think they actually mixed two busses, one with a later arrival time and ours (an earlier one) without letting us know.

The ride was comfortable with AC. We made it close to the time that was scheduled. The stops were super frequent though and never did we stop in a place that was convenient. Usually isolated and prices/options limited to the subjection of the vender which was frustrating especially after a longggg haul. As mentioned we had SEVERAL stops. Like stops that had nothing to do with our destination. I think the driver had his own little side quests going on. And the driver was not in the slightest of smooth. Lots of hard breaks. Hard turns. Riding on someone’s tail and forcing to stop. Thought we were going to be in an accident 80% of the time. We made it safely but was…. A long journey.

Arrived over 3 hours after the time stated in the ticket (I know times can vary but that is much longer than we thought), the roads were awful and we felt sick the whole way, driver was not very friendly and didn’t stop when people needed the toilet, the 2 stops we did have were expensive and didn’t have good food and the toilets were dirty, and the bus didn’t even take us to San Pedro - when we got to panajachel, they tried to make us pay more for a private boat and when we said we wanted to take the public one they said it would be 1.5 hours more travelling (but we did it anyway and it was only about an hour), it would have been good to know beforehand that we would have to change transport so maybe put this in the ticket information. Overall it was poor and we wouldn’t do it again
