Our bus driver was great with our students. He was prompt, pointed out fun things to the students, and answered all of their questions.
The price was great especially compared to a coach bus. The driver showed up on time, booking was easy. We'll book again!

Great Experience
We had a great experience with First Student for our wedding day. We rented an air conditioned yellow school bus and our bus driver Vanessa went above and beyond to help make our wedding day run smoothly. She kept our schedule moving with multiple stops and easily adjusted when it rained and we had to adjust our photo location. Would definitely recommend!
