We had the best experience with Bus Connection. I had to cancel the bus tour for non-profit organization one day before the trip, which happened to be on a Sunday, and still got the best service. Bus Connection kindly rebooked another trip for August and service exceeded all expectations. The company kept excellent communication - I got a text message a day before the trip, another one when driver Jimmy arrived at location 20 minutes early, and a personal call from Jimmy to confirm the departure time. The bus was very comfortable as well. I highly recommend the company!

The team at Bus Connection was amazing. They worked with me to adjust the fleet requirements based on our needs as our conference dates approached. We used three sizes of buses, the motor coach, executive coach-bus and the Mercedes sprinter. Each was well maintained and clean for our boarding. The drivers were safe, friendly and accommodating. The communication I received from Bus Connection, to help facilitate travel, was very helpful. Clear communication was received from driver dispatch through rider drop off. I would recommend Bus Connection with no hesitation and will definitely reach out if we are in need of your services in the future.

Bus Connection knock it out of the park! I could not have been happier. They showed up early and worked with us on our trip. We had a bus load to go from the suburbs to Graceland Cemetary in Chicago and back to Schaumburg. David, our driver, was great and very patient with getting all of us old people to the chappal and then to the site. Chris, at the company, worked with us all way along and made this one more part of our day go just as planned. I could not be happier with Bus Connection.
