OCC Palenque San Cristóbal de las Casas recent customer reviews

The first part was perfect, however when we arrived in Tuxtla Guiteres we had to change busses. First we waited an hour with a group of people without any notice on when w bus would arrive and when it did they said there were not enough spaces for everyone and 2 people had to wait 1,5 hours. After a discussion we had to sit in an overfilled bus as we insisted on going with everyone.

Loud music & TV on a night bus wasn’t appreciated when everyone was trying to sleep. Mexican Border officials stopped the bus & came on board 3 times to inspect ID’s making people feel uncomfortable.

While booking the bus there were no stopovers, pasportcontrols nor a 30min buscleaning mentioned. The comfort in the bus was good but it's definitly not the fastest way to get to your destination and you're very sleepdeprived by all the interuptions.
