ADO Aeropuerto Mexico City Xalapa recent customer reviews
The ADO terminal is located across a bridge from MEX terminal 1. The staff was helpful and the service was efficient. The bus made a food/ rest stop about two hours into the trip. Many east bound busses happened to stop at the same time, so the little store got very crowded.

Everything was perfect. The station was great, everyone was very friendly, the bus was super comfortable, but the best was the driver. He was very nice and went out of his way to make the ride very pleasant.
