The first journey from Panajachel to Antigua was efficient and on time. We had a 1.5hr break in Antigua which we expected and was a good opportunity to buy some breakfast. The second leg from Antigua to Santa Ana was not as we expected. The bus arrived on time but we left 20 minutes late. We then proceeded to have about a 30 minutes wait in a service station an hour into our journey. The journey was extremely long and ended up being 12 hours, not the 9 hours we expected.

We were picked up around 5:10 - previous Gekko buses we had received WhatsApp notifications - we didn’t for this one so slightly concerned. We did for the second bus!. Driver very fast for first leg much less so for second leg. Which was much more enjoyable. Both buses not full and comfortable. Luggage inside bus with us. An hour wait at bus pick up point in Antigua. No idea which of buses were ours, so had to ask each driver, but they had a list of our names. Both drivers friendly. One toilet / shop stop each journey. V clean places. Border crossing was easiest / smoothest we have ever done (we’ve done over 25 by land). Nothing to worry about.
