ADO Cancún Tulum recent customer reviews
The bus was comfortable, air-conditioned, with foot rests, curtains, and plenty of storage. Also very clean. The drivers and staff were kind of rude/curt, but they were still helpful.
The information was very misleading & their team was terrible when we tried to get clarification. Both parties we tried to communicate with were very rude/unhelpful. Ultimately, we ended up missing our shuttle & have to buy tickets for a later bus, due to misinformation.
My flight was delayed and when I tried to get on the last 11:00 PM bus to Tulum, I was informed there would be no more buses going there. If they aren’t going at that time, they need to take it off the web site! I lost $58.

AU Cancún Tulum recent customer reviews
I loved everything
Didn’t explain that ticket was not from airport so missed bus
This bus is not at the airport and it did not tell me that. I only found out that after I asked where the bus was at the airport and found out that it was in town. What a waste of money. Not the way to start a vacation
