From gardens to museums, art galleries to zoos, theme parks to concerts, there are endless number of things to do in Phoenix. If you rent a charter bus to Phoenix, chances are, you won’t be done with this amazingly scenic city in a day. We found Phoenix to be an amazing getaway because it offers a nice blend of modernization with nature and history. It’s truly difficult to find a city with such a nice balance – don’t believe us, get your group and rent a Phoenix charter bus and see it for yourself! In the meantime, we’ve come up with our personal top hot spots for Phoenix.
1. Mystery Castle
Don’t you wish you had the kind of father that Mary Lou Gulley had? A father who built a gorgeous castle for a daughter who wished for one! Phoenix’s Mystery Castle was built when Mr. Gulley came to Phoenix to find a cure for his tuberculosis, and along the way built this amazing castle. You’ll be awed the moment you step out of the charter bus – we guarantee this, even if you’ve been there before.
2. The Wrigley Mansion
Since we’re on the roll, here’s another castle built out of love which you should take the charter bus to. Willian Wrigley Jr., the genius behind Wrigley’s chewing gum decided to built this 16,850 sq.ft winter ‘cottage’ as a 50th Anniversary gift to his wife. This mansion holds 24 rooms (the SMALLEST mansion among all those belonging to Mr. Wrigley) and 17 baths. Now, this mansion is a private club to members who pay their minuscule annual fee of $10 – proceeds are donated to charitable organizations. Make your reservations before taking the rented charter bus there – 24 hour notice is required.
3. The Oasis at Pointe South Mountain Resort
In the summer heat, the sun can be downright cruel in Phoenix, hence, you should take the charter bus to this place because it is a luxury resort that you can let loose, stay cool, get pampered, play golf, fine dine and just hang out. It’s a gem of a place because it is clean, well-kept and the staff are extremely professional and properly trained. Pointe South Mountain Resort won the Best Guest Relations Award from the American hotel and Lodging Association – so, it makes perfect sense for you to take your charter bus there to experience the affability of their staff and quality of their services.
4. Rhythm Room
To get your toes tapping, take the charter bus to Rhythm Room for some good ole jazz and blues music. Apart from the fact that when the place gets crowded, you can hardly see your hand in front of your face, this is THE PLACE for good relaxing music and fine drinks. When you take the charter bus there, just let loose and get into the music – forget about everything else and you’ll enjoy the Rhythm Room a whole lot more!
5. Arizona Biltmore Resort and Spa
This is Arizona’s biggest and grandest hotel that offers everything under the Phoenix sun…from golf courses, to tennis courts, swimming pools and heated pools, water slides, cabanas…etc, you name it, they have it. It’s an awesome place to stay – but for those who are on a budget, you can still take the charter bus there and enjoy their services for a fee.
The BusBank’s Phoenix charter bus rental service will ensure your group can enjoy these great places with ease and comfort. So, give us a call and start with an Arizona charter bus…and you’re ready for your trip to Phoenix for a quick holiday.

Tucson, Arizona is a great city to tour in a charter bus. The city is surrounded by spectacular desert setting while it is both a modern city with a small town atmosphere. This makes Tucson the perfect place to rent a charter bus to and see the sights with your group. The Sonora Desert has the year-long sunshine that is enviable in other states of the country and the mixed culture that lends the city of Tucson a sort of mysteriousness.
If you ever hire a charter bus to Tucson, you should never miss the one place that makes Tucson unique from the rest of America – Tombstone. Tombstone is the famous town of the Wild Wild West – every year throngs of tourists and locals hop off their charter bus to take a peek at the famous Tombstone town to enjoy the old extinct Western buildings, swinging-door saloons, reenacted shootouts and the fun stagecoach rides!
After having a blast at Tombstone, next up was lunch and we hopped back on the charter bus for some fantastic pizza at a place called Zona 78. Apart from enjoying the mouth-watering food here, we had the chance to watch the kitchen crew prepare the food – so, it was like a show and a meal all in one event! And the great thing was that the kids loved the pizza and enjoyed the atmosphere too.
Sonoran Spa was our next Tucson charter bus stop where each of us got pampered and prepped by a bunch of talented staff, I took on reflexology and hot stone massage! The other members of my group tried out the Shiatsu which was very much enjoyed. By the time we climbed back into the charter bus, we were more than ready for some rest.
It was then that the Tucson charter bus rental took us back to Tanque Verde Guest Ranch, it’s an old ranch with authentic Western decorations which is something that I wanted. Who’d want to stay in a five-star hotel when you’re right smack in the middle of Tuscon, anyway? So, all in all, I had a truly Western charter bus holiday in Tucson and reckon you should too!

It was a tough task trying to narrow down the top 5 places I would choose to go to if I hired a charter bus because there are too many places I would love to visit again in Phoenix. Ranking my favorite 5 charter bus rental Phoenix attractions was tough, but here they are for you to enjoy.
1. Desert Botanical Garden
To me, the Desert Botanical Garden is the best place in Phoenix to take a charter bus to. It has one of the world’s largest collections of desert plants – just something you don’t usually see in other botanical gardens in other parts of the country. They have a wide variety of endangered species of plants there; so, when you’re in Phoenix, get the charter bus to take you Papago Park Desert Botanical Garden. You won’t regret it.
2. Heard Museum
Learning about Native Americans has always been of interest to me. There’s just something fascinating about how they lived and how they molded their culture. So, when my family and I finally got the chance to rent a charter bus to Phoenix, Heard Museum was definitely on my list. In this museum, you’ll see an amazing showcase of art and culture back during Native American days, learn about the tribes and their culture.
3. Camelback Mountain
My hike up this renowned Phoenix Peak was nothing short of awesome! It took a little more than an hour for the group to hike up the lofty mountain that looks somewhat like a camel (hence the name, get it?). Rock climbers are going to love this mountain too because at some points during the hike, we had to resort to mountain-climbing techniques to get to the top because of the steep angle of the trail. The picture we took at the top is one of my favorite keepsakes from the trip.
4. Carolina’s Mexican Food
Here you can let reality go and just forget about pretending to be a rich and elegant tourist from another state or country; just relax, hang out, chill out, eat to your hearts content and be weary about the real world later! A beguiling little restaurant tucked away in a corner of Phoenix that we wouldn’t have otherwise found if not for our local Arizona charter bus driver’s recommendation. If you’re interested, here’s where you can find them. 1202 E Mohave St, Phoenix, AZ.
5. Phoenix Zoo
If you’re bringing kids along for the charter bus trip to Phoenix, it would only make sense to make a trip to the Phoenix Zoo. Although there isn’t anything particularly extraordinary about the Phoenix zoo, the kids loved it and parents felt comfortable with the cleanliness of the place and the well-organized structure of the zoo.

It is believed that one can never run out of places to go whenever in Scottsdale. This is because when you hire a charter bus to Scottsdale, Arizona you’ll soon understand why even the locals acknowledge that this is a city where you can get yourself pampered and receive therapeutic treatments all day long! The weather is perfect, the people are pleasant and you can simply lay back and relax and enjoy your stay in this desert oasis. If you’re looking for quick (and affordable) weekend getaway or a honeymoon location, look no further than Scottsdale Arizona. Resorts, cultural attractions, spas, golf courses, art galleries…you name it, they have it.
There’s no way on this planet I would miss the chance to pamper myself since I already hired a charter bus to Scottsdale, so, the first drop off point was the Willow Stream Spa (Fairmont Scottsdale Princess) where I’ve heard loads of good things about (thanks to other spa freaks I know). The spa was spanking new and looked like something that you would see in an E! special for celebrities. My friends and I took the opportunity to horde the steam room, and the plunge pool.
I enjoyed it so much I hoped our Scottsdale charter bus could wait. Oh, and if you’re there, don’t forget to make your way to their roof-top deck pool which is a pool classified as ‘heavenly’.
And what else is on this lady’s wish list when she’s and her friends are on a charter bus in Scottsdale? You’ve guessed it Shopping! Of course we go downtown Scottsdale where there were all types of unique niche shops selling everything you cant find anywhere else. I was hoping to see my idol, Nicole Kidman, sauntering lazily through one of those high-end fashion stores…but luck wasn’t on my side.
We then lugged our shopping bags back into the charter bus after two-and-half hours or pure shopping ecstasy. The charter bus driver told me that I should go to Taliesin West. Boy did we have a fine time during the guided tour around frank Lloyd Wright’s winter retreat and studio. I filled with redecoration ideas for my dingy apartment back home.
But oh, this charter bus rental trip to Scottsdale is certainly one to be remembered for a long time to come.
