Rented a charter bus to Grand Rapids and had fabulous time!

This was I figured after renting a charter bus to Grand Rapids Michigan last fall – you have to dig beneath the surface of things in order to totally enjoy and understand Grand Rapids for what it is. The only book I found useful was the one offered by Lonely Planet – the kind of stuff that only the locals knew (like our charter bus driver, in my case!) 

Sure, I did a lot of the touristy stuff during that trip, like challenging myself to rock-climbing at the Higher Ground Rock Climbing Center. I never climbed anything other than stairs before, it nearly did me in! Another touristy Grand Rapids attraction that I genuinely liked was the Laser Quest. The multilevel maze, the special lighting combined with the fog and sound effects…they were all astonishing. 

The great thing with this trip is that we took a lot of trips in Grand Rapids that are not publicized as much – like Grand Rapids Chorus of Sweet Adeline where there was an amazing four-part vocal harmony performance. With help of The BusBank we definitely enjoyed the charter bus trip to Grand Rapids. Also note, for smaller groups, The BusBank also offers minibus rentals in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
