Birthday Rental
My son's 4th birthday was coming up, and he loves school buses. Since we couldn't throw a normal party because of covid, we decided to rent a school bus to take us on a trip to the zoo to celebrate. It was a huge hit! The bus came on time, and was very clean (and had AC, which was a huge plus on a hot day!). Our driver was awesome - very friendly and was so nice to my kids. We felt very safe while driving on the highway during our trip. When we were ready to leave the bus was exactly where it was suppose to be. Everything went as scheduled and it was a great experience!

Our driver was great
Our driver was great. Even though our itinerary we had did not match his copy, he still got us to where we needed to go. This was very important as we were going to different photo locations for our wedding.
