ADO Playa del Carmen Tulum recent customer reviews
Enjoyed almost every aspect except for the fact the air conditioning on the bus was off for the entire return trip.
I use ado all the time but this time a man was caught on the bus stealing peoples wallets and then attacked the bus driver while trying to escape
Nice bus, very smooth ride. However, information at the Plata Del Carmen not clear, the bus number was not supplied to us on our electronic ticket. Confusion as to which bus was ours. This can be easily improved.
