Futura Mexico City Puerto Vallarta recent customer reviews

The driver was smoking during the trip, making it very uncomfortable with no way to get fresh air. He also drove a bit aggressively, no doubt because he was running late, but it made the ride very difficult with so many swerves, bumps and abrupt stops/starts.
