Great ride. Only problem was the bus was a bit late and hard to spot at the airport. There's not visible markings on it so beware. Be there early and expect to wait.

Our driver, Jose, was very nice and helpful about details in the new city that I was exploring. He was a great driver and got us to our destination as fast as possible. There was a ton of traffic and construction, but he made it a memorable ride regardless! The estimated times were defintely incorrect, and communication could have been a tad better, but i understand the chaotic nature of traffic and construciton.
