We was dropped off on a random road 3 hours into our journey and when we asked about our shuttle to santa ana he said ‘No’ then took a photo of us and drove off and was not collected for over an hour. However, the whatsapp chat was very quick on replying

I did multiple rides with Gecko. They always arrived within the window the promised. They took bathroom breaks regularly and let us stretch our legs. Some of the vans are tighter than others, but for the price, it was very worth it. I will definitely use Gecko if I come back. Word of advice, the path to and from lake Atitlan is very winding. If you tend to get motion sickness, make sure to take some motion sickness medication. It also helps if you sit in the middle or front seat. The worst seats for motion sickness are the back corners

Mismatch between confirmation booking date and online portal date so wasn’t sure I definitely had a spot day before. Could only speak to an AI chatbot which just regurgitated information I already had which wasn’t helpful. Did not communicate that connecting pick up in Antigua had changed until driver had arrived so had to dash across city to get there delaying everyone. (I was only one doing this connection and everyone else was made aware). Took an extra detour to drop people off in juayua which added an extra 1.5hrs to the journey. Did make it to santa ana in time to get bus on to San Salvador so can’t complain too much.

It was pretty straightforward process and trip. Only small complaint was we made a small detour to Juayua to drop someone off which added almost 1.5 hours to total trip time.
