It was nothing short of surprising for the bunch of us who needed to get away from the daily humdrums of life when we rented a charter bus to Tuscaloosa early this year right after a full blast New Year celebration. Tuscaloosa offers the right mix of history and culture together with modernity that was enchanting for the bunch of us. Most of all, we needed to rent a charter bus to…just get away! And Tuscaloosa, for us, was definitely the right choice.
The Southern charm was irresistible and if you’re a fan of antiques, you just have to take the charter bus to Gorgas House which dates back to 1820. Although we couldn’t afford many of the antiques on display there, boy, we had an eyeful just taking in all those amazingly beautiful and expensive antique pieces. To make the charter bus trip even more memorable, we took the rented charter bus to Battle-Friedman House on the very same day. So you can bet we had a day filled with history and culture of Tuscaloosa.
For some of us, at the top of our lists of things to do in Tuscaloosa was to take the charter bus to a place where we can sample the night life there. The charter bus driver recommended Jazziz C’s, a great choice. Jazziz C’s offers us the chance to taste what Tuscaloosa folks like – quality martinis and New Orleans jazz music! Not all us were in favor of martinis but the bar had a long list of beer, wine and hard liquor to choose from. In one word, we would like to describe this Tuscaloosa watering hole as superb! Before we ended this charter bus trip in Tuscaloosa, we took the charter bus to Evangeline’s which serves mouth-watering dishes made out of fresh ingredients that you can taste. Not only do they taste good, this Tuscaloosa restaurant makes their food look pretty darn good too. For some R&R, I strongly recommended a charter bus trip to Tuscaloosa for a quick weekend getaway!

My sister and I have been dreaming about renting a charter bus in San Francisco with our friends and cruising along the many San Francisco attractions for as long as we remember. There’s just something about going around San Francisco in the comfort of a charter bus that we cannot quite explain, therefore, when her 25th birthday we went out and finally did it.
The first charter bus stop was at the San Francisco Fisherman’s Wharf. This is where we took plenty of pictures with wax works of International personalities.
Another remarkable attraction in San Francisco was, perhaps, the Exploratorium. It wasn’t Chinatown where everything was foreign and unique, but it was definitely an eye-opener.Oh, if you’re ever on a charter bus holiday in San Francisco, don’t forget to check out this chic little nook in San Francisco called Vignette Restaurant! Honestly, nothing, in my personal opinion, beats the atmosphere, price and food that this little San Francisco restaurant had to offer. Trust me, take the charter bus there. In the meantime, have fun and don’t forget to take loads of pictures!

Fayetteville is an amazing place to visit if you are thinking of hiring an Arkansas charter bus for a weekend holiday away from all the humdrum that daily life offers. Fayetteville is located on Ozark Mountains where the city enjoys four very distinct seasons.
In our first stop, we took the charter bus to Prairie Grove Battlefield State Park where more than 18,000 Union and Confederate solders fought in 1862.
The favorite part of any of my adventures is always the ‘dining’ part of the trip. Our charter bus driver, Andy suggested Cable Car Pizza. Just talking about it makes my mouth water and my mind is filled with images of their Pizza Bianca! Cable Car Pizza serves San Francisco style gourmet that was great!
Among us, there was a football fanatic and the moment we confirmed the rental of the charter bus, Daniel (the fanatic) announced, “We’re going to Jerry Jones”. Jerry Jones – Jim Lindsey Hall of Champions is a museum that commemorates the history of Arkansas’ football team, The Razorbacks.
And we stayed in the most amazing place known in Arkansas called Deepwood House….which is precisely what it is. Deepwood House is made of natural products and it sort of blends in with the surroundings…which is maple forest. After all that riding around in a charter bus and visit of places, it felt good to come back to nature.

I’ve always been curious about the capital city of the Last Frontier, Juneau, so, I jumped at the chance when our scout troop decided to rent a charter bus to Juneau for a day trip. Of course, the first thing that I wanted to take the charter bus to was to the absolutely breathtaking scenic attractions like Gastineau Channel and Mount Roberts. Juneau is totally different from the traditional metropolitan areas of United States
Our first stop was Mount Roberts Tramway for a quick hiking trip. The hike was good but the better part of the trip was when we went on the 6 minute ride up on a tram on the 1,670 mountain slope! The Juneau scenery is awesome.
Our group didn’t have time to take the charter bus for Juneau Sport fishing and Sightseeing. I would love to troll for salmon and halibut but it is on the agenda for our next charter bus trip to Juneau. Our final stop was at Chan’s Thai Kitchen, what a way to end the day trip. It was a great time and we have already begun to plan our next trip back to Juneau.

St. Louis is the kind of place where everyone will have the chance to have some fun. It doesn’t matter whether you’re an adult or a child, a charter bus holiday trip to St. Louis will definitely be exciting! Our church group took our young children to the Magic House, St. Louis’ Children’s Museum. Thankfully, we rented a charter bus there, so, I had the time the time to sit in the charter bus with the kids enjoying the passing scenery. No worries about traffic, parking and directions. And you just sit there and enjoy yourself!
Nothing much was mentioned about the Forest Park on the Internet before we embarked on our charter bus holiday trip, I heard a lot of good things about this St. Louis attraction and decided to take the charter bus to this amazing park where we did a lot of strolling and chatting. I heard that the State government puts a lot of money into this St. Louis Park to build awesome bridges and ponds to make it more attractive. There’s a zoo, a barbeque area, a jogging track and ice-skating rink also.
We also took the charter bus up to Gateway Arch. It is well worth the wait to get to the top. My advice is to take the kids to the St. Louis Zoo and the Missouri Botanical Garden too. And during your stay, remember to take the rented charter bus to Big Sky Café for great food. All in all, there are many places that we did not visit during our charter bus visit to St. Louis Missouri this time round and I think we’re going to make another trip there soon.

Who would’ve thought we would hit gold by taking a charter bus to Fairbanks, Alaska. As you peek out of the charter bus window, you might be inclined to think that this is your typical urban city lined with fast food joints and watering holes.As modernized as Fairbanks is, there’s a very deep history of gold mining in Fairbanks, so, renting a charter bus there is a definite must do. Once you’re there, ask the charter bus driver to take you to the University of Alaska Museum where you’ll get an eyeful of the blinding collection of gold and discover the history of gold-mining in Fairbanks.
Oh, another amazing thing we did in Fairbanks was take the charter bus for the long-running tour called the Riverbank Discovery Tours. The experience was awesome as we sat in a real stern wheel riverboat for a 3 hour plus river ride that was both stimulating. We still had a little bit of time after the Riverbank Discovery Tours, so, we took the rented charter bus to Gold Dredge No. 8, the authentic gold-mining site an-hour-and-a-half tour where we learned everything we wanted to learn about gold mining.
As the day came to a close, we were finally tired enough to call it a day and took the Fairbanks, Alaska charter bus back to Chena Hot Springs where we were staying. Oh, the hotel was beautiful and absolutely clean as a whistle.
All in all, the trip to Fairbanks was an enlightening one sprinkled with a lot of excitement and awe. A Fairbanks Bus rental from The BusBank certainly made my trip easier and enjoyable!

Not expecting much from a charter bus trip to Dothan, Alabama I have to say that the experience that I had exceeded all expectation. Dothan isn’t really at the top of the list of well known tourist attractions, so, the secret is knowing where to visit with your group. For instance, I had a great time in Conecuh National Forest. I am not a fan of mosquitoes and wild animals but it was a change of pace being surrounded by nature. There is a wide range of activities for tourists from camping to picnicking, from hiking to fishing, from riding ATVs to just enjoying the calm and serene environment.
Having caught on with outdoor activities, me and my group of friends next took the charter bus to Waterworld which is renowned for its large wave pool and water slides. There is really a large crowd there during the weekends but we were there on a Thursday, so we literally had Waterworld all to ourselves. Let it be known it is not only for kids even the oldest of the group had a ball.
While there, we stayed at the Fairfield Inn by Marriott which is located at the centre of almost everything that’s important in Dothan, Alabama. Their rooms were large and more importantly, clean as a whistle with immaculately decorations and designs. So, if you ask me would I ever rent a charter bus in Alabama again in the near future, my answer would be ‘You Betcha!”
