How do you get to Antigua?
I noticed many people recommending to go to Antigua, but how do you get there? Bus, taxi, mule?

Antigua
We took a taxi - we stayed at the Clarion and they gave us one of their regular drivers. He stayed with us for the day and took us all around - we had a wonderful time - I highly recommend it!!!!!

We visited Antigua with a tour guide who drove us in his car. We booked this visit through Trent at Velocity Tours.

I took a taxi and had the same driver come back for us at a predetermined time. I was using the same driver the whole time I was there so he knew that he could count on me to be there and vice versa. He also set a set amount for the drive and it came out to the best price from all that I had contacted to get us there and back.

most of the hotels seem to offer tours, especially for antigua, too. it's so close to GC-
when we went down, we had booked through trent at velocity- and had a driver that we used for all of our touring-

I HIGHLY recommend "Quinta De Las Flores" as the place to stay. It is a little away from the center square - but so charming and the gardens are fabulous - here is their website if you want to take a peak: www.quintadelasflores.com ENJOY!!!!
