Futura Puerto Vallarta Zihuatanejo recent customer reviews

The bus and bathrooms were clean, good drivers. One complaint is the air conditioner is set too low, everyone was cold, huddling under blankets, coats and whatever they had with them!

Driver was going insanely fast. We couldn’t sleep, also it smelled like cigarettes because he was smoking all night long during the ride. There was puke in the sink on the toilet. Never again!

One would think that if our bus arrived five hours late it could have been calculated into the posted schedule.. Two hours late leaving PV and seven hours late arriving Zihua.
