Customers had a generally positive experience on the 6-7 hour bus ride from Guadalajara to Mazatlan, Mexico. They appreciated the friendly driver and workers, as well as comfortable seats and safe driving. However, some mentioned concerns about cleanliness inside and outside of the bus. Additionally, there were multiple stops for "police inspections" where English-speaking passengers felt confused. Some also found it challenging to identify their specific bus among others at certain points during the journey.

Stopped THREE different times for “police inspections” No one spoke English to those of us on the trip, so we didn’t understand what was going on?

This is a 6-7 hour bus ride from Guadalajara to Mazatlan Mexico. The driver and workers were very nice. At first there was concern because of the Mexican mafia but that didn’t amount to anything- thank God. It got me safely from one point to another- I never got off the bus. A bit interesting sights and people but would recommend this bus ride

unscheduled stops to pick up individuals. one group was dirty and badly in need of a shower. A bit annoyed when they slip the driver a few pesos and we pay full fair. Would prefer individual control for TV. Volume was to loud for sleeping.
