For the most part the experience was good. However, we asked the bus to wait for us for 10 mins as we were putting things in our car and the busses left without us.
We were the parents of the bride and paid for shuttle services and we missed the ride back to hotel.
Ladies Wine Tour - Perfect Day!
We had a fantastic day. The bus driver was very kind and flexible. The only feedback I'd give is that I think it would be helpful for the drivers to have a GPS system. Charlene was using map quest print outs so we had to help her quite a bit with directions. It was not a big deal at all, but I think for safety purposes moving forward the drivers should have gps!

Outstanding service! The sentimental value the school bus vibe has for our wedding, plus the most perfect driver made our whole night! The ride back after was such a blast. We couldn’t have asked for a better service, thank you so much!
We used First Charter for a wedding
We used First Charter for a wedding. I was not in the bus but our guests said it was very comfortable and convenient. They said the driver Denise was very helpful and Jew the route well.
Great Service
Our First Charter Bus driver went above and beyond to make our event a success! They even ran an extra trip or two to ensure everyone got home safely. Highly recommend!

Can’t complain about a single thing
Can’t complain about a single thing. Everything went smoothly and exactly as planned - would highly recommend.
Customer service was great. The driver wasn’t.
We used First Student as a shuttle service for our guests to take to and from the hotel to wedding venue. The customer service leading up to the event was phenomenal. I had a great experience setting everything up and felt like we were in good hands. However, I was told that from the very beginning, our driver had a poor attitude - gave dirty looks and was snippy. I understand that wedding guests can be rowdy, and I can’t blame her for being annoyed on the way home. But for the first trip there? It’s a real bummer that our guests felt the driver was in a bad mood from the start. Additionally, I wish we would have gotten an invoice or some kind of notice as to why we got two additional charges. I completely understand they were necessary, as we had a guest make a mess. But we were never made aware of this - simply had our card charged again and again. Overall, I was happy with our customer service, but I’d probably encourage others to look at all of their options before booking.
Wonderful for Wedding Transportation
We booked a school bus for transportation for both our guests and bridal party for our wedding and were very pleased with the service. All pickup times were prompt and our driver was very kind and easy to work with. Would definitely recommend for any future brides and grooms looking for affordable all-day transportation!
