This is a long overdue review of Peter’s Teacher Bus. I’ve used this bus for my last two birthday parties, and had a great experience each time. I filled the bus with 39 of my friends (making 40 of us total) and stopped at different view spots such as Twin Peaks, Point Bonita, and Ocean Beach. The driver, Alex, was very accommodating to my group and I changing our final drop-​off location.
I’m looking forward to celebrating yet another birthday with the Teacher Bus this year!

My friends booked this for after their wedding, and it was fantastic. Loved the driver, and really loved the bus. It’s biodiesel! What other way can you dance yourself across the Golden Gate Bridge, while still feeling pretty solid about your carbon footprint? If I lived in SF, I would want to ride in this bus every day.

Getting an MD requires an appropriately big party to celebrate. And a big party was had on the TEACHER BUS!!! I cannot recommend Peter (and our driver, Alex) highly enough. From arranging the bus to helping me plan the route to helping me adjust the route once fog rolled in to some of my original destinations, everything went incredibly smoothly!
Although this is a pricey splurge for a party, it is TOTALLY WORTH IT!!! Thank you so much Peter and Alex for helping me celebrate becoming a doctor!

This is a long overdue review (and my first!) but Peter at Teacher with the Bus did such an excellent job for us that I had to carve out some for it. I booked the bus for my fiancé’s 30th birthday back in December and he loved it so much that he’s thinking about booking the bus for his bachelor party! Peter was such an easy vendor to work with. He responded promptly to all my emails and was incredibly chill with my rowdy crowd. He offered great suggestions for our outing and even drove around randomly for us after we had reached our final stop early. Our guests really enjoyed spending the time together and not having to spend too much money at the bars. Don’t even hesitate to book this bus. Do it now!

Wow. I couldn’t be more pleased with these guys. I called just 3 days prior to my event and Peter was incredibly easy to work with. In just a few minutes we’d arranged for the bus to pick up my group of 25 (though he said it could accomodate up to 40) for a day of wine tasting. Our driver Alex arrived 15 minutes early with his pet chihuahua Charlie. Yes, you read that right, our bus came with a friendly driver and an adorable, calm puppy who made the day that much more ridiculously awesome.
Honestly, I can’t rave enough about the experience. Highly recommend for casual daytime trips. The bus was fun and casual — a nice break from the over-​formal party buses I’d rented in the past.
Give them a try! You won’t be disappointed.

We are a nonprofit in Berkeley that advocates for zero waste, and the Teacher Bus was perfect for taking some out-​of-​town visitors to see a composting facility in Vacaville. The bus is set up so that folks face each other and can talk and even move around if needed. The staff were extremely helpful and reliable, beginning at the planning stage and going all the way through our final drop off. Everything was really great. I recommend this company without reservation!

Used this for a wine trip that we organized for about 20 – 25 out-​of-​town guests. This was such an awesome time, and our guests said the same. Our driver was Alex, and he was friendly and professional. We did get pretty rowdy, all in good fun, during the ride back, and Alex was patient and calm. Lots of dancing involved! This was a very memorable trip. thanks Teacher With the Bus!

Without a doubt the best birthday party I’ve ever had. Actually, this was probably the best party I’ve ever had, period.
One of my best friends and I share the same birthday so we wanted to do something special. He at first wanted to hire a regular party bus but I fell in love with the Unilocal reviews for Teacher With a Bus and convinced him to go for it.
We filled the bus with 40 friends and had an amazing time. The next day, our facebook event page was filled with things like «Best party ever» and «Oh my god, what happened last night?». Looking back at the pictures felt like the last scene from «The Hangover».
Our driver, Alex, was extremely patient and fun. We made stops at Treasure Island, a bar in the Castro, Twin Peaks and finally the Golden Gate bridge. The bus is so charming and has an unbelievable sound system.
We’ve already decided to make this an annual event for our birthday!

I wish there were more reviews and stars to emphasize how explicitly amazing this party bus service is. I cannot express how much fun my group of 40 had using Teacher with the Bus, but it was as awesome as awesome could be.
Our driver was probably one of the most understanding people you will ever meet. We were loud, obnoxious, and down right wild, but our driver, Alex, was as cool as can be. He was definitely one of those people you would consider a great honor to meet in your life time as he was in the inner essence, «good people.»
The bus is basically what is says it is. Instead of the standard seating of a school bus, you have long benches along the sides, which makes tons of room for raging out and dancing. We had our friend DJ and lets just say it was a night that we won’t forget.
Basically, if you’re planning a party and want a guaranteed great time with no issues, Teacher with the Bus is the way to go.

Do you know how hard it is to find a party bus without a stripper pole and neon lighting? Flippin’ difficult. We needed a party bus, but other bus companies seem to strictly cater to bros, hookers, and women who wear leopard prints.
A few friends and I reserved this bus for a bachelorette party on July 5. This Teacher bus was exactly what we needed! Clean, spacious, and aesthetically fun! It was a good nerdy time. We brought an ipod and a cooler of wine and champagne. Being in this bus was way more enjoyable than partying at the planned destinations.
This bus seem to have a life and personality of its own! Such a home-​grown, down to earth, laid back vibe. I know it is just a vehicle, but the Teacher bus is MAGIC.
Also, our driver Alex (HI ALEX!) was unbelievably great. I was an idiot and left my ID at the hotel (for the hundredth time, people, I have not had to show ID in freakin’ years – CA needs to loosen up a bit – geez), so amazing Alex drove me all the way back to the hotel so I could pick up proper identification. After I got my ID, he reunited me with the party and the night continued as if I did not screw up.
LOVE THIS COMPANY!

I HIGHLY recommend this bus!
It was my friends 30th birthday and after much research on party buses I booked this bus. WE LOVED it!
If you are looking for the typical Limo-​Type bus that dumps people on and off at every bar … then this is not the bus for you.
On the other hand if you are looking for a super-​unique bus where you can have your own music, good sound, hang out on the bus and a cool bus driver at incredibly reasonable rates … You, ll love it.
He took us across the Golden gate, up to Marin headlands and dropped us at a club (where he got concessions for the whole group).
The only disappointment from this whole experience is that there are not more 5 * reviews on Unilocal!

Get on the bus! Seriously, get on this bus ’cause it’s way more fun and clean than MUNI.
A group of us hired Teacher With the Bus for a trip up to wine country and we had a blast. Although this bus can accommodate up to 40 people, we kept it cozy with a much smaller group.
Our driver showed up right on time and waited patiently for a few stragglers to arrive. He had a GPS ready to roll so all we had to do is program in the address of the winery and off we went!
The best part about this bus? There’s a rockin’ sound system inside, where you can plug in an iPod with a playlist. The speakers are HUGE and can blast as loud as you’d like. It was hilarious to have onlookers stare at us while we drove through downtown Napa. Yes, we were «those people.»
Even though we requested to be back in SF by 8 pm, our tour lasted a bit longer than expected and our driver never said a word. Of course I made sure to give him a generous tip for his time, but he was super cool about the situation. It was nice not to have to worry about spitting out the wine since I wasn’t driving for a change. Party time!
Will definitely keep Teacher with the Bus in my contacts list for future road parties to wine country. Or just ride around in the city, drinking booze and hanging out the window. Either one sounds fun to me.

I went on The Magic Bus Tour yesterday, thanks Unilocal for the free ride!
The bus was cool looking inside, the concept is great, people were nice and met new friends. But I have to be honest I got kinda bored with some of the history part. yawn! oops, cover my mouth, did that a few times. I was expecting the history of SF in the 60s since it is a SF tour bus. There was some but mostly just 60s history in general, stuff I learned in high school. Maybe some of that LSD they were talking about in the film would make it a lot more interesting, they had some cool lighting effects going on (Umm say no to drugs!). Well it was an experience, I can say it’s not like any tour bus I’ve ever gone on, that’s a good thing.

It’s hard to find a single bad thing to say about the Teacher Bus… and for good reason: it’s an amazing experience!
Though I’ve had a few pow wows with the man behind the bus about doing future Unilocal events, I’d yet to actually ride the bus until I hopped aboard Mr. Stuart Schuffman’s Broke Ass Bar Crawl on wheels last night throughout this fine city of ours. It’s arguable that you can just pay $ 2 for a fare aboard one of our beautiful MUNI lines (since it seems like there’s always someone poppin’ High Life every time I ride) and call it a party bus, but a lift aboard this bad boy is a surefire way to do it right.
Unlike other party buses you’ve probably experienced, this silver bullet is stripped of pretension and it’s purpose is pretty clear: to get you from A to B in a safe, yet crazy enjoyable fashion! You can bring booze aboard the ride and the layout of the seats makes it really easy to interact with other people in your party.
I’d recommend the Teacher Bus for anyone that’s looking to celebrate a night on the town, a trip to wine country, or any other excursion that you deem worthy of renting a 7 ton monster of a people mover.

I used these guys for my boyfriend’s 26th birthday party in March. Friends were talking about it for weeks and I still hear from all of our friends that they want to do it again! We had about 30 people on the bus with 8 cases of beer and 3 handles of liquor. I ordered some shutter shades and plastic shot glasses from Oriental Trading to add to our shenanigans, and then bought to 2 Flabongos. because, well. why not?
Started off our route leaving from Yukol (Thai Cuisine) on Lombard and Scott, headed up to the top of Twin Peaks (we got lucky with a clear night and saw the lights of the city), then hit a dive bar in Noe Valley, and ended our night at Maggy McGarry’s.
Top 5 nights in the city! Will be using these guys again in the near future!

8 is my lucky number and this party bus gets my oh-​so-​important 800th review!
Last night, I was debating having a low-​key night. Then, I met up with a good friend of mine since she was in my neighborhood… Before I knew it, I’d agreed to join her and her friends on their party bus. It was only $ 20 per person and was hard to say «no»!
This bus is a HUGE PARTY just waiting to happen. As soon as we got on the bus around 9:45, the crazy party began. We were blasting the music and dancing (and falling) all over the bus before we even started moving. We brought 3 huge coolers with adult beverages and enjoyed them along the way…
We first went over the Golden Gate Bridge to take party pictures by the bridge and then back to clubs in San Francisco. The bus rides in between stops were SO fun! We only wished there were a bathroom on the bus so we could continue drinking and ride along longer…
I just found out from another review that this bus uses bio-​diesel which makes it even better! Watch out for the driver’s fast breaking because a lot of people and drinks flew forward a few times!

I rented this bus for my birthday this year, and it was totally fucking awesome.
Peter was very helpful and answered all of our questions, and our driver was really nice. He suggested some trip destinations, I didn’t really plan that far ahead, and took great care of us.
My friends all chipped in money for bus rental and booze, it amounted to about $ 20 a person in total, which is cheap for a night out with almost 40 people.
Hooking up music is super easy, they have plugs that jack right into your laptop or ipod. LOUD speakers for blasting music, and dancing. It does get a little hard for taller friends, I invited a couple people over 6′, but overall, it was a totally great experience. I highly recommend it.

This bus pulled into the lot, and my immediate thought were OMG. this is SUCH a burning man bus! and it was fantastic. Gray old school school bus, with multi colored tires =) I put together a napa winetasting trip for me and 30 of my closest friends. and Peter (the owner) was MORE than accomodating & helpful in the whole process of booking, & then working with me on getting all this drunken debauchery on the road.
I HIGHLY recommend renting from Teacher with The Bus.’cause you are guaranteed an awesome time, there is a DANCE FLOOR on the back of the bus. and trust me, it is definitely a memorable time trying to dance, drink, and take pictures while that bus is moving. luckily none of us fell on our asses & hurt ourselves.
There is ipod/​mp3 player hookup, so you are in full control of the music, and that sound system is ridiculously loud =))
You are free to bring onboard your own alcohol, food, whatever… and our driver even made pitstops at liquor stores for us along the way when we ran out. which was often =P
We did get a little lost, but that was my bad since i forgot to send Peter the wineries beforehand, but we got to our wineries, we got drunk, we had a fantastic day. and for $ 1200 bux for 30 people for 8 hours… it’s a STEAL.
I’m already brainstorming the next napa trip… and i’ll definitely be booking with Peter again!
