What Our Customers Say
Excellent Driver, Great Experience
We had a really excellent bus driver for a one-day trip around Melbourne. He was friendly, helpful, polite and accommodating. We couldn’t have asked for more. It’s easy to write an email of complaint when something goes wrong, but here’s an example when it went extremely well!
Jed Smith
Fantastic Planning, Memorable Day
Thank you Kev for a fantastic day in the Yarra Valley. Bus Charter worked with me to get the best deal and they also helped plan my route to make sure I got the best experience within my booked time. Thank you to all involved.
Tam K
Seamless Tour, Excellent Support
The team at Bus Charter were incredibly helpful and flexible as I planned my family bus tour, especially as I didn’t have all final details confirmed at the time of my initial booking. My booking involved a performer and MC requiring a microphone and A/V system, and lots of different stops. This all worked seamlessly and our bus driver Tony was fantastic. Everything went to plan and we felt very looked after.
