Great First Time Experience

This was the first time I booked a charter bus, and Philip was amazing. We needed three different pickup locations with three different pickup times and for all of the charters to arrive at the same time. We were able to book with a month’s notice, and payment was easy. There were just a couple of issues. One of the charters had a TV that didn’t work at all, and another worked intermittently. Another charter arrived late due to traffic, but it was Fleet Week in San Francisco. The bus drivers were very flexible when it came to rest stops and helpful when it came to loading and unloading the bus. I’d use Busbank again in the future!

Things to know when planning your trip to SF

San Francisco’s unique charm and diverse attractions make it a captivating destination, but careful planning is essential for group trips. The city’s hilly terrain and microclimates can pose challenges, so pack accordingly. Popular sites like Alcatraz and cable car rides often require advance bookings, especially during peak seasons. Look out for early reservation discounts. With a wide array of experiences available, from iconic landmarks to hidden gems, consider everyone’s interests when crafting your itinerary. While public transportation is available, navigating the city with a large group can be tricky. Opt for reliable group transportation and create a realistic schedule. Focus on key attractions, allowing time for rest and unexpected discoveries. This approach ensures a more relaxed and enjoyable San Francisco adventure.
