If you don't want to be part of a big tour group in a big tour bus with the usual rush time due to the large tour group, guam has some private tour companies that cater to a small tour group of 1 to 6 people and the transportation provided will be either an SUV or a minivan with the driver is also the tour guide. Off Course this kind of tour is more expensive than the big group tour but you will have more time to savor the destinations that you plan to visit and the pace is not fast since you are in a small tour group. Plus you can bond with your tourmates the tour is only up to 6 persons in the vehicle.

Discover Guam is a local tour company that specializes in private small tour groups and this is the company that I booked for a 1 whole day around guam tour and my package cost $ 125 including lunch at Jeff's Pirate Cove and I gave the tour Guide a $ 15 tip since he is very friendly and informative on the local sites.

according to their website:

If you stay at the expensive hotels like the Mariott or Westin or Pacific Islands Club or Outriger Hotels and booked suite rooms, the airport shuttles are free but if you are in a regular or de luxe rooms in the hotels mentioned above or at the other Tumon hotels like fiesta, Holiday, Hotel Nikko, Days Inn and more, the going rate is $ 10 for a single way and $ 20 for a round trip. You can book the shuttle service in advance via the hotels website.

If you come from a group tour, usually a big shuttle bus provides the round trip airport shuttle service and is included to your package tour costs.

Public Buses are available at the airport but they do not stop at all the hotels.

taxis are the most expensive since it will cost $ 15 to 20 for a single trip to and from the airport from your hotel.
