** IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A PARTY BUS, LOOK NO FURTHER! THIS IS THE COMPANY TO BOOK WITH! I can't say enough good things about them. I will be a loyal customer anytime I need a party bus in Boston and surrounding areas and will recommend The Bustonian to all my friends and family. Tell them Steve referred you! **
This review is long overdue. A couple of us were in charge of planning a bachelorette weekend in Boston for our best friend. After spending numerous hours calling and researching companies and looking for activities to do over the weekend we came across The Bustonian. The bachelorette weekend was planned for the first weekend of December and we needed transportation for Saturday night as we wanted to bar hop around Boston without worrying about hailing cabs. Hailing a cab in Boston on a Saturday night can be difficult, especially when bars/clubs close at 2AM (everyone is trying to get a cab at that time) and you have a large group. This is where The Bustonian came in. I made a phone call about two weeks before the bachelorette weekend and left a voicemail. I promptly received a call back from Matt who is one of the owners of the company. I explained what we were trying to accomplish for Saturday night and what our budget was. We originally planned to rent The New Bustonian and were given a very reasonable and competitive price that fit our budget. We had a larger group at first but due to some cancellations we had a much smaller group than we originally thought. I called Matt and voiced my concerns (I didn't think we could switch buses as the date was only a few days away) but to my surprise Matt was extremely accommodating to our smaller group (10 total) and hooked us up with a smaller bus and lower price.
Saturday afternoon rolled around and I received a phone call from Tom, our driver for the night. He was professional, friendly, and courteous. He had called to introduce himself and confirm all the details for the night. Since none of us were familiar with Boston I had mentioned to Tom what type of bars/clubs we were looking to go to. The Bustonian has many connections with all types of bars and clubs in Boston where you can enjoy VIP treatment without paying for it (no cover charges or long lines for example). Tom confirmed the time and place where we wanted to be picked up and dropped off for the night. The bus arrived on time and the bachelorette was EXTREMELY surprised and excited. To our surprise we were upgraded to the original bus we wanted, The New Bustonian. The bus is AMAZING! It was clean, spacious, had an amazing sound system, and cool lighting. One of the great features of the bus was the built-in coolers. Once we were picked up we made a quick pit stop at the hotel and picked up our alcohol and snacks. Tom even offered to go and grab ice at the 7Eleven for us while we grabbed our alcohol. I bet many other bus/limo companies would not go this extra mile for you. Tom had a few bars/clubs in mind he thought we might enjoy and we sure did! We didn't have to wait in long lines (mind you it was cold and raining) or have to pay any cover charges. You really felt like you were VIP. We even had an extra surprise for the bachelorette, a stripper. The Bustonian was extremely accommodating to picking up the stripper and finding a suitable place to park as we all enjoyed the stripper. The bus even had blinds so you can have the extra privacy!
All the bars/clubs Tom took us to were right on point and what we were looking for. We never had to wait for the bus as we would just call/text Tom and he would let us know when he was outside. We were able to maximize all of our time and were dropped off at the hotel on time. If you're planning any type of event (bachelor, bachelorette, birthday) and want reliable transportation, stop looking and call them! They have a range of different buses you can choose from. I was able to just relax and enjoy the night like everyone else and not worry about anything. Everyone had a blast and enjoyed the spacious bus for dancing and drinking between bars/clubs (which also saved us money as we didn't need to spend as much money on drinks). Matt even sent me an e-mail the day after to confirm that everything went as planned. BOOK THEM! You won't regret it. read more
