I recently went on the Bustonian for a friends 21st birthday and had an amazing time. It was perfect to be around thirty of my closest friends dancing and drinking and not have anything to worry about. The music was awesome and the driver was extremely friendly and fun. I actually lost my camera on the bus but it was found a few days later and Chris met me at a T stop so I could get it back. The people who work for the company are very accommodating.

32 of my friends and I booked the 80's bus for a night on the town. We had an absolute blast.. they showed up 15 early, took us to 3 different bars and we got in with no cover - awesome! The bus was immaculate, pimped out 80's front/back/inside/out and we def rocked the stripper pole. About halfway into the night and mid drunken stupor, I lost my clutch that had my phone, camera, license and cards in it. Couldn't tell if I lost it in the bar or on the bus. The driver helped me search the bus but to no avail. Luckily I cancelled everything and replaced it but I was devasted when I lost it. Over 2.5 months later, one of the co-workers found my purse after doing some random maintenance and cleaning. He contacted me via facebook to let me know he had it and returned it to me completely untouched. All I can say is I am totally impressed with the professionalism of the Bustonian and will definitely be booking it for fun times in the future! Thanks guys! You ROCK!!

I recently was invited to a Bachelorette party for a friend, the Bridesmaids had planned an amazing night which included a night on the town chauffered by the Bustonian. We had cocktails and food before hand and expected the bus at a certain time. The bus showed up 2 HOURS LATE! One of the girls had to call to see where the bus was, no one was even on their way. Apparently the owner never confirmed a driver for the night and they had to scramble to get someone out there. We ended up getting into the city 3 hrs after we intended and the night BLEW! I agree with a previous review, great idea but poor execution. This was just an utter waste of time and money, we all agreed we would have been better off with a limo or driving in ourselves and staying over night in Boston. Oh and lastly the so called "hookups to the coolest bars" BS!! Some places still charge cover charges as well! Be leery before booking this bus. Unfortunately they just don't provide the service they advertise.

Pros: none that I can think of

Cons: didn't show up on time, poor customer service

We recently rented the 80's bustonian for my friends bachelorette party. We had the bus for 6 hours and visited a few top notch hot spots throughout the night. The best part of the night was the sweet dance floor with a stripper pole. I have been laughing for a half hour straight, after looking at the pictures that Gary (the driver) posted on the bustonians myspace. They bring great music and have the hook up at most places around town. Cant wait to hop back on the bus!

We look out the window and the party bus is 30 minutes early, the whole party bus is Pink The driver was young, and wicked hot! He took all 17 of us girls out to 3 different bars that we picked, we had the best time ever, my friend had recommended the bustonian, because she went out on a bacholerette party on the same bus, she could not of been more right! We gave the bus driver 5 cd's that we made, and that was probably the highlight of our night! (Besides having a PINK Party Bus dropping us off, and picking us up where ever we wanted, He even took us to get PIZZA at the end of the NIGHT ! total BLAST !!! Highly Recomend this Company, the only way to go out with a banngg, couple weeks before a wedding !

Pros: VIP Treatment, Cool Party Bus's

Cons: None, besides the buses can only fit a max of 32 each !

Unfortunately, the Bustonian is nothing but FALSE ADVERTISING!! They advertise getting you into the bars they have listed on their site, so my friends and I thought that it was no brainer!! Unfortunately, the Bustonian was NOT able to get us into 2 out of the 3 bars that we wanted to go to. It was a waste of my time and money. I planned this for my best friend's bachelorette and would have been better off organizing it on my own.

Bustonian was great! We had 30 people on a trip to Foxboro for a Pats game. Could not have been easier to arrange and they were very accomodating to anything we needed. We price shopped in the Boston area and Bustonian was far and away the best value. Highly recommended!

We rented the Bustonian for a bachelorette party last weekend and it was a horrible experience. One of the draws to us renting the Bustonian was that they would get us into 3 bars/clubs of our choice. Besides them being a half hour late picking us up, we could only get into one of the bars that we chose because they didn't have the "hook up" with these bars that they claimed. We ended up aimlessly driving around the city trying the figure out where we would be able to get in! After spending as much money as we did to rent this bus to have a great night out on the town, we were severely disappointed!

Pros: At least I was with my friends and we thankfully have the ability to have fun anywhere

Cons: EVERYTHING ELSE!

My friends and I rented the Bustonian or a Bachelorette recently and were completely unsatisfied with the service. The bus picked us up 1/2 hour late, gave conflicting information on admission to bars and clubs (as in they said we were all set for places and found out at the door that we weren't...and worse yet had to pay more to get in!!!!). The customer service, or lack their of, would't even work with us to resolve the issues or refund us some of our money. Bottom line. Ladies you are better off calling into clubs yourself and renting a sweet limo for the night!

Pros: A fun idea...

Cons: a poor execution....
