ADO Mexico City Papantla recent customer reviews

It was my first trip so I was a little confused. The Wi-Fi and electrical outlets were not functioning. That did not really bother me. I felt safe on the bus and with the driver. We left on schedule and arrived a little before schedule. For me it was a pretty good trip.
