ChiTown Party Bus

I’ve been using Chi Town party bus for my birthday every year, and Chris has always been absolutely amazing in accommodating my crazy group of friends. To ring in the new year, my friends and I used Chi Town Party bus again to rent the Black magic bus to to pick us up after dinner and drive around the city. The bus was perfect for my group of 15 friends and our driver, April was absolutely wonderful. She really made the evening perfect. Not only was she on time and a pleasure to be around, but she also helped with suggesting locations to stop and take pictures, as well as bars for pit stops. If you are thinking of renting a bus or limo, I would highly suggest Chi– Town party bus and request April as a driver.

Did the Christmas lights tour it was great ! We got out at Lincoln park zoo for 15 minutes or so. driver April, was a pleasure, nice, friendly, accommodating. Saw the Macy’s Windows, melenium park, water tower … It was a fun 1 hour tour. I’d recommend it to anyone who just wants to peak at the lights without driving or cabbing to each destination.

When I researched party buses for a special 35^th birthday celebration I rented from ChiTown Party Bus. Chris… the owner was very accommodating. We were a large group. The bus package included champagne, ice, water, soft drinks. It was very clean and comfortable. The bus was equipped with an awesome sound system, stripper pole, strobe lights and a fogger… it was a night club on wheels. Chris was very easy to work with. I highly recommend ChiTown Party Bus. Thank you for making it a memorable night!!!

Complete scam. We are now pursuing a lawsuit against this company! I would give zero stars if it were an option. They send out wrong bus as an «upgrade» (it was much smaller, and guests were cramped); their driver SMOKES while driving with the windows UP; and won’t stop when you ask him to, even when passengers need to use the bathroom. On top of that, at the end of the night we started cleaning up the bus (we had brought trash bags and paper towels with) and the driver told us to leave everything and that it is fine in the condition it was in. Few days later we get charged an extra $ 300! On top of the original fee we had paid for a larger sizes bus that we DID NOT get… We called and emailed multiple times (all are documented), with no response. After a negative Unilocal review, we get charged an EXTRA $ 200. Additionally, the immature owner/​manager is now harassing us via text message AND social media. And still refuses to refund the money they keep stealing from us. Justice will be served soon. ;)

Rented the big daddy for my birthday. I rented for 37 – 40 people and it holds 36 and for a charter trip (stopping at bars to use bathroom).not a problem but they knew this information and didnt say anything about it. Hours before i get a text from chris saying i get an upgraded bus bc big daddy had gotten trashed. Cool… except it didnt have poles, beerbong, ski shots like the big daddy and when the bus had arrived it could only fit 29 people which i was okay with but the driver (mark) did not want to drive bc its illegal to have 36 people on a 29 person bus. Okay, so we figured it out we go to down the street to a bar, some of us get off and go in some stay on the bus. The company sent out another bus (which is awesome but i didnt really wanna split up the party). The new bus driver said he did not need to be there and we can all smush on the bus (he had only counted the people not inside the bar). Whatever we made it work. Mark would not stop where we really wanted, at one point my friend asked if we could pull over for a bar so she could use the bathroom he pulled over got out and smoked WITHOUT OPENING BUS DOORS, when he returned he told her to hold it… very rude. The radio in the bus also was not working. At the last stop we had started straightening up and mark told us to leave that the condition of the bus was okay. We had asked him straight forward «we wont be charged» he said no. We had even brought our own paper towels our own garbage bags kept things in order. The only garbage on their bus was a small little bathroom sized garbage. Good thing we brought our own bags. At this point we were upset but still was a decent night no drama besides with the company. Until i received and unprofessional, immature, rude email from chris (the owner). Basically mad another bus came out for only 29 people (the rest were in the bar). Claiming we are being charged 300 $ for leaving the bus trashed, saying «just because you didnt recieve the big daddy for that reason doesnt mean you can trash another bus» am i crazy? Or is he claiming that we had done it on purpose? Besides the fact the driver said it was fine, and no one had puked. Also saying glasses were missing… when we had bottles of beer no one used any glass ware (which the big daddy would not have even had). He also said how big daddy couldnt fit 37 people anyways and he was under the impression it was just a barcrawl when i selected the charter option. I read another review on Unilocal where someone had threw up on a bus and only was charged 100 $…really? We brought our own bags and paper towels and get charged 300 $. Also the pic they had sent as «our bus» was used in an email contract a few days prior. ITS TOTALLY A SCAM. And we tried working it out before coming on here, after 3 emails and 4 calls being ignored. Its obvious he was mad sending out another bus for «no reason». When he finally responded he never answered any of our questions but more personally attacked us and defended him. Completely unprofessional. esp when we were trying to handle it maturely. Side note i have screenshots with dates proving all of this and would gladly share with anyone who would like to contact me. NOW BECAUSE I POSTED THIS THEY CHARGED ME AN EXTRA 200 $…petty.

The worse tour ever did the holiday light bus tour
They drive you around can’t really see out the windows seats are all turned inward windows are dirty and the driver doesn’t even talk about any of the highlights along the route lucky I got the tickets ½ price If you are considering this DON’T DO IT!

Loved Chitown Party Bus! We had the VIP bus that took us from Crystal Lake to Howl @ the Moon and back using the round trip rate. Jim the bus driver was awesome. He came early to pick us up and waited until everyone was ready. Then he was there to pick us up even when we were ready to leave a ½ hour earlier than planned. The bus was stocked with ice and has two bar areas. The sound and lights were awesome and Jim did not care when we cranked the music the whole way to the city and back! The staff was great when we booked the bus and even when I had a person want to leave early they helped me decide the best way to get them home. I will be using them again! 5 star service!

We loved «Big Daddy» and Kedric, our driver! How he managed to negotiate the streets of Chicago with 26 girls having a bachelorette party right behind him. I will never know. But he was early to pick us up, punctual to each of our stops, and even helped us clean up the bus after the party! Highly recommended.

So for my 23^rd birthday I decided to go all out and get the Big Daddy party bus and it was the best decision ever. Everyone had a blast and I also want to give a shot out to the best bus driver KEDRIC. I will be getting the bus again and even got 2 of my friends to order it for their birthday and I told them to ask for KEDRIC!!!

Booked the «BIG DADDY» For our annual summer event! it was AWESOME! we got tons of looks as we took our party around the city of chicago! Our Driver April was AWESOME when i book again she must be the driver!

I want to start off by saying that the driver Scott was very nice and helpful. No complaints there. I just want to give someone else a heads up about what I experienced and how disappointed we were.
#1. We rented the limo bus for a wedding and most limos know to make sure the floor is clean along with the door jams because of the long dresses. The floor was so dirty that one pass across it created black marks on my wedding dress. The bridesmaids dresses went to the floor and we’re dirty very fast. One bridesmaid got dirt on her dress just from sitting on the seat. Also they promised a rollout red carpet which was not provided.
#2. The outside of the limo bus looked very beat up and not clean for use for a wedding.
#3. The air conditioning seemed to not work as well as it should. It was only about 85 degrees outside so it wasn’t because of the heat. It just felt like the air was on but blowing semi-​cool air. This was a big problem because we were unable to enjoy the limo as much because we were already sweating before pictures and that nobody wanted to drink anything or move much less. Our hair and make up suffered the consequences and became very frizzy and curls fell out before we could get to the ceremony which was the most important part of the day. You want to look presentable, not like you just ran a mile in a wedding dress. Dripping sweat. One of the bridesmaids got really sick because of the heat as well.
Overall was a dissapointment for the price we paid and unfortunately it was a big part of the day that just wasn’t enjoyable. If I would do it all over again, I would have paid a little more for a hummer limo (something about the same size that looks nicer on the outside) which they didn’t seem to offer anything in a similar style. At another place so the floor would be clean and have air conditioning that works like it should.

I would recommend this to anybody planning a good night fun and request Carol she was the best driver and made everything really easy for us so we could enjoy our night

I would highly recommend Chitown Party Bus, especially with Carol as your driver. She was early to pick us up and was very friendly. Her bus was clean and stocked with ice and cups, which we thought we had to provide, but was nice because we did need the extras. She got us to our destination in a timely manner, despite Chicago traffic. Carol was able to pick us up in front of Wrigley Field, so our friend with crutches didn’t have to walk far. She also made sure to have many contact numbers and we never lost anyone in our group of 18 and knew where to meet her when the game was over. Excellent experience!

Had our annual Red Lobster Cubs outing last night, and ChiTown Party bus made it extra great. Our driver Carol was AMAZING, friendly, helpful, and a smooth driver. Next year not only will we be renting from ChiTown again, but we’ll definitely request Carol again!

ChiTown Party bus is great! We use Big Daddy to make shuttle runs over the weekend from West Loop to Soldier Field for the Dead 50 concerts. April was our driver and is just wonderful. Great communication all weekend and prompt service, even with crazy 4^th of July Holiday traffic. Thanks ChiTown, we’ll look forward to our next event!

I booked ChiTown party bus for my sisters bachelorette party. The bus was amazing and the driver was great. They were super on time and very easy to reach throughout the night. I did a lot of researching before booking and ChiTown party bus was the most resonable as well. Great company to work with!

ChiTown Party Bus is a top notched service company that provided great service from reservations to our chauffeur. Chauffeur Carol was on time, funny, knowledgable, polite. The bus was stocked with two buckets of ice, cups, party lights, and dance pole as described. We were so pleased we will be using them for future events. Chinatown and Carol rocks!

We had a party of close to 30 people and booked the Big Daddy bus. The bus and the service altogether was freakin awesome! Our group had such a blast on the bus, dancing to our tunes on the loud speakers, cruising all over Chicago, and just having a good time!
The process of securing the bus was super simple with quick email and phone replies. The bus arrived early and was very accommodating to take us where we wanted to go. Our driver was very friendly and understood that we were all there to just party. I think he had a lot of fun with us as well!
I’ll definitely be booking with these guys again for future parties, weddings, or work outings! Sold!

We had an amazing trip with Chitown Party Bus! Chris was very helpful and cooperative in booking the bus. Our driver, Wilson was punctual and incredibly patient, especially on the way back when everyone was far from sober!
We were told the bus capacity was 29, but 23 – 25 would have been a little more comfortable. It was a little crowded, but overall a really great experience.

Not being a fan of trolleys, I wanted something a little different (and awesome) for this year’s birthday bar crawl, and ChiTown Party Bus had the perfect vehicle.
We rented their «VooDoo Daddy Bus» which is a blacked-​out converted school bus that can only be described as «badass.» One can only assume it was the bus that drove Chuck Norris to/​from elementary school (or maybe Chuck drove himself to elementary school on this bus); it’s that awesome.
This land yacht is all-​party inside and out. The interior was spacious and had an incredible sound system (w/​iPhone input), THREE dance poles, a TV, and massive insulated cooler that handled an extremely large quantity of beer and ice (they even provided the ice).
Overall, the service was first class. Our driver arrived early, was incredibly friendly, handled every one of our drunken route suggestions like a pro (and even suggested some fun alternatives that we didn’t know about), always texted his location to me while we were in the bars, and not once showed an ounce of impatience, despite how obnoxious our group was or when we blasted the stereo.
Honestly, could not have asked for a better birthday. These guys rock.
