I had an amazing experience with Gekko! The travel was very calm, the drivers very friendly, and I felt very safe during this traject that crossed a border with them.

Very easy drive. Both drivers were lovely and very helpful getting us through the border. We wouldn’t have done the FMM form digitally if we weren’t sent a link by this company. We as well thought it was digital havin arrived by air. It was a smooth journey and we would definitely book with them again.

Great. Driver helped at customs leaving Mexico with FMM form which we had not done online. From what we read it was digital as we flew in but not the case (apparently another passenger told us that gekko email link to them which we didn’t get) so make sure you have done the form and printed it prior. Boarder transfer was easy we were introduced to new driver.

Mexico section was good and punctual. After passport control in Mexico we drove a bit, parked, and walked a block to Guatemala passport control. All good so far. Guatemala driver was very late. We waited about an hour. Also he was a very jerky driver and made lots of phone calls along the way. Nicer van though. The first drop off seemed to be a detour well before Panajachel which exacerbated lateness.

Our Mexico driver was excellent. Unfortunately our Guate driver took no less than a dozen personal phone calls (loved when he shifted with his left hand) and texted while driving as well. His loud music was also tiresome.
