What the day feels like

What the charter feels like

A 4+ hour charter on the ElDorado moves at the pace your group sets: drivers arrive early to inspect and board, guests settle in and cue playlists or videos on the Smart TVs, and the bus shuttles between unlimited stops—dinners, venues, festivals or private events—while LED lighting and heavy bass keep the atmosphere lively between destinations.

Party groups & celebrationsIdeal for birthdays, nights out, brewery tours and wedding shuttles where onboard sound, lighting and streaming keep a group entertained; alcohol is permitted for passengers 21 and over and groups are limited to 20 passengers maximum.
