Unbelievable Work

I had the pleasure of working with BusBank – Philip May, specifically – on a charter (+ custom vehicle-wrap) project quite recently. For a first-time-renter like myself, Phil’s project management and crystal-clear communications/advice – throughout every step of the process – made my experience truly enjoyable; even considering that all was accomplished under extremely tight deadlines. The end-result: an extremely happy client — and a grateful partner. I look forward to future opportunities!

Things to know when planning your trip to PHL

Philadelphia, a city rich in history and culture, offers an unforgettable experience for travelers. However, careful planning is essential for a smooth group trip. Popular attractions like Independence Hall can become crowded during peak seasons. Booking tickets and accommodations early can get you the best options and discounts. When crafting an itinerary, consider your group’s diverse interests, balancing historical sites with modern attractions. While the city is walkable, navigating with a large group can be challenging.
