Reviews for Bustonian
We reserved the Bustonian to take us into Boston for a Ladies Night out from metrowest. Our driver, Bobby, was very professional, showed up on time and since we didn't want to get to the club too early, drove around per our instructions and got us to Faneuil Market right when we wanted to arrive. Although the Bustonian costs a little more than driving in and parking yourself, definitely worth it as we could enjoy ourselves and not worry about drinking and driving. Plus, the driver was very amenable to anything we asked. We'd definitely recommend Bobby and the Bustonian for a great night!

My friends and I are really into the new movie 'Marie Antonette' with Kristin Dunst. We all agreed to dress in these fabulous costumes and go on the bustonian. The problems was that boston costume did not have a good assortment and they were really expensive to rent. So we all went down to Providence to 'Bruna Costumes' on Pocasset Ave. The costumes were awesome. Both mens and womans . We got the wigs and the whole bit for half the price of Boston costume. We drank champagne and had little tid bits of pastries for the ocassion . We had a blast. You feel so different dressed in the 1700 garb. Try it . We are doing this again next halloween.

I had the best time on the Bustonian, I dont know what your talking about "anonymous" you must be a "Party Pooper" ha-ha
We booked the Bustonian Party Bus for my brothers 24th B-day, and everyone we invited has been thanking me up and down ever since!
Whats cooler than a
"Night-Club on Wheel's" picking you up at your house and taking you out for a wicked cool night in the City of Boston.
Everyone says The Bars were totally cool, But the Party Bus was where we had the most Fun!
It was totally a night to remember, and the pictures we took were INSANE, We sent the pictures into the Bustonian, and I Hope they post them on the website....
The only bad thing I can say is the bus we had didnt have the stripper pole, because we booked the party bus on short notice they only had 1 bus left, the buses with the poles were already booked up. But the next time we do this, its definitely going to be the Mr. Bustonian because it has that stripper pole you see in the pictures.
we're definitely going to do it again. Can't wait

I've taken the Bustonian for bachelorette parties before and it was: a. insanely expensive, and b. wickedly wickedly lame--not worth the cost at all (you somehow spend the bulk of the night driving around and not actually in any bars).
I've been wishing I could review it b/c our experience was fun b/c we made it so but otherwise a total and complete ripoff. You're better off renting a limo service or getting driver if you want to do that that badly.

My girlfriend threw me THE BEST 25th birthday party ever, oh did I mention it was a Surprise Birthday Party, he even invited all my highschool and college friends and some of my family! The bus driver got us into different bars and clubs for free, we even got to go ahead of the line!
The bus even had a Stripper Pole and a Dance Floor. It was the best birthday present I ever had!
I put the Bustonian Party Bus in the top 5 best times of my life!!!
It's like a Nightclub on Wheels!!!
2 thumbs up !!!!
Pros: The coolest way to party with your Friends!
Cons: Didnt want the Party to END !!

We rented Miss Bustonian for our daughter's surprise 18th birthday party. The bus is bright pink - her favorite color. I searched for a pink party bus, never expecting to find one, and pleasantly surprised to find this one. The girls had a ball, dancing throughout the ride. Don, the driver was great. He arrived early and followed our plans for a safe night for the girls. He even called when leaving Boston to check in and make sure he had the right number of girls. A great time was had by all, and the price was reasonable!
Pros: It's Pink!

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 !

They showed up 15 minutes early!! The bus was wicked CLEAN, it even had a STRIPPER POLE, me and 25 of my friends had the BEST NIGHT IN BOSTON since i turned 21, The bus is amazing I can see why people book this thing 4 months in advance! The driver was young and wicked cool ! We stocked up the bus with beer and ice, what a good combination, the Bus Driver even took us to get Pizza when the night was over !! Double Thumbs up !!!! What a cool company , 100% would recomend this comapny to anyone who wants to show thier friends a real good time out in Boston or whereever!!!!
Pros: The bus was amazig Fits 32 People ! The driver got us into our 2 favorite BARS !
Cons: Nothing, i had an AMAZING NIGHT

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!

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....

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!
Posted 09/21/07
We were very upset when we were ready and waiting in the cold for the Bustonian and they didn't show up. We scheduled a 3-hour tour for 30 co-workers and they called late that they weren't coming! We've all been spreading the word that the Bustonians are bad business.
Pros: They didn't show up
Cons: They didn't show up

I rented the Miss Bustonian for my sister's bachelorette party last spring. We partied to pole dancing lessons at Gypsy Rose (which I can't recommend enough), to several bars and and even invited a stripper on board.
The interior was clean and fun, the sound system was excellent and there was even a little dance floor for the girls to practice their new moves. The exterior had just been freshly painted and so we were big and pink. The drinks are BYO, and there is a bar and a cooler to accommodate them. Our driver was awesome and I wish I could remember his name. He was on-time, very sweet and even worked well as a bouncer.
With the exception of the stripper (who was pretty sketchy), the party was a total blast. The only problem was that no one wanted to get off at the bars. Why would we pay for drinks, music and dancing when we had them all on board?
Pros: service
Cons: 5 hour minimum
