Getaway Travels
Arrived to pick us up early (which was great since our flight made good time) and the vehicle was very comfortable. Great service.
Mid size bus, super comfortable with reclining seats. It arrived 45 minutes late but I think that’s standard for this part of the world!
The boarder crossing from Belize to Guatemala was straightforward. You pay your exit tax (US $20 per person but you need good notes - they rejected several bills that were dirty and/or had small rips). You then go to a second window to get your passport stamped. You then walk about 50 metres ahead to the Guatemalan building and get your passport stamped again. There was a toilet on the Guatemalan side - it was US $1 to use plus lots of stalls selling food and other goods.
You leave your bags on the bus. It goes through a check point and waits for you on the other side of the border.
Easy process
+ nice service

Very reliable. We were only 3 people for that ride and we had a decent comfortable car and reached our destination on time.
