Fun family experience with Rent My Party Bus! We decided to forgo gifts this year and put that money towards a Christmas light experience and let’s just say, the kids are begging to do it again next year! They picked up at our home, mapped out a route for us and we were able to bring drinks and snacks into the bus! Highly recommend!

We rented a party bus to celebrate a work holiday party and Josh was our driver, he was such a great host for Light Tour. He knew the area we chose and brought us to the best houses. He offered to take pictures and even brought us to a bathroom stop! Recommend him 10/10

This is our second year renting with Rent My Party Bus and we plan to make it an annual Christmas tradition. We have family and friends from ages 16 - 71 singing, dancing, laughing and looking at lights for four amazing, somehow seems too short, hours. …
