It felt fairly safe, if you follow common sense.
We didn't take the bus there as it was pretty much not advised by fellow travellers or locals. We took private shuttles or public shuttles for long transportation wish was pretty nice! Just, when they come get you at the rendezvous point wait for them to say for who it is and don't blatantly say "oh is it for me/us" followed by your name cause well it's easy afterwards to say "oh yes it's for you op".
We stayed in a youth hostel and again it felt safe! 
We walked through the city by foot and it was nice! We also booked a guide to have the history of the buildings and it was worth it! People over there are so nice!
No problem with the food too! Didn't get sick or anything! Do bring medication for the travelers flu in case, it can be useful!

Overall very nice!

Really nice hiking trip that you can do in Guatemala! You start in the city of Antigua which is also a really nice town. It‘s cool for solo travellers cause you will probably hike with a nice group and meet nice people hiking
