Wonderful Bus Driver
Our Driver was excellent!! She was courteous, patient and very professional. One of our staff members left her purse on the bus and the driver took her personal time to bring it to our campsite. I am so upset that I can't remember the drivers name to properly acknowledge her. She was wonderful!

Great Experience
We had an overall great experience. Our driver, Stevie, was on time, got us to the venue easily and without any issues. Got us right back to the drop off as well. The pickup and drop-off was seamless with no issues whatsoever. Would highly recommend for someone looking to transport a large party to a venue.

Sweet 16 birthday with no great bus driver
The kids really liked the experience however the bus driver had zero personality and was not very good in providing music on the bus.

I would like to give 5 stars to the customer service team that did everything in their power to find us the bus, and in our case, it wasn't an easy task.
However, communication via email is lacking, we had to communicate everything via a phone call.
The bus on the day of the trip was late by 15 min without anyone from the bus company letting us know.
Overall it was a good experience and we'd be happy to use this option again in the future.
