YAY!! Sierra, Darin and everyone at Jump on the School Bus are awesome. We are really happy we chose them for our wedding. They were SUPER easy to work with. We made changes literally up to the day of and they handled everything beautifully. The bus was very cute with custom lettering and colorful lights to get the party started. Our driver Brian was friendly and chatted it up with us and our guests. Super accommodating and professional but down to earth. Very much worth the cost to support such a well run, local company.

Darin and his company were amazing with our transportation throughout our entire wedding weekend! The drivers were very nice and accommodating, everything would not have gone as smoothly without JOTSB. We had our wedding ceremony on the South Bluffs in Elings Park, which has an extremely large hill up/down dirt parking area and the busses made it up and down with absolutely no issues!Being able to put our wedding hashtag (or anything we wanted) on the busses throughout the entire weekend really gave it a personal feel. The stereo system and lights gave it a party type vibe!Would highly recommend to anyone in the Santa Barbara area! More...

We used Jump on the Bus for our daughters wedding and they were terrific! We loved our bus's driver, Cindy, and we hear the guests were all happy with their bus and driver as well.  They were on time, did several runs and even left us one bus to take us to a nightclub and wait for us until 1AM! Owners were wonderful too.  Answered all my messages promptly and all planned transportation to and from wedding venue was perfect timing.Would highly recommend them! More...

Darrin & Sierra helped create the perfect day for my Wine Camp group. From the beginning Darrin was super knowledgeable and accommodating. Sierra always made sure the lines of communication were open and updated. Cindy, our driver, was absolutely a doll!!!  She made our entire day fun and kept us on time for each tasting, which is tough to do with a group of 38!!!  My Wine Campers are still raving  about this experience and I'm ready to book them for all of my camp groups!!! Thanks to the entire JOTSB team! More...

When my friends said they rented a bus to take us wine tasting for a friend's 50t birthday, I had no idea what to expect. But when Tony rolled up in a retrofitted school bus with a personalized message down the side, we knew it was going to be awesome . The seats are set up to maximize conversation and Tony was a careful and fun driver. When me son fell asleep during the last stop, Tony was kind enough to hang out with me on the bus and then take us back when my son woke up. Highly recommend! More...

Following a recommendation from two of our friends who used Jump On The School Bus for their weddings, we ultimately decided to do the same as we had an excellent experience with them being guests to both weddings. One of the weddings I was actually the maid of honor in and was included in the group text that goes out with the drivers, can I just say WOW! Their communication techniques and style is incredible, it is a no brainer why they are the best of the best! When it comes to transportation (a BIG deal for a wedding), strong communication is an absolute must. These guys hit it out of the park! They provided frequent updates during every step of the process and quite frankly made it super easy for us to worry about other vendors and tasks tied to our wedding. The drivers are all very friendly and safe, the busses were clean, and everyone made it to their destinations (to and from the wedding) on time. I would absolutely recommend this company to anyone who wants a great experience and to have their wedding day be stress free! We had the pleasure of working with Darin, Sierra, and Lindsay, and every one of them was professional and understanding of our needs. Thank you!!! More...

Jump on the School Bus was a semi last-minute addition to our team of wedding vendors, and lucky for us they were available for our date! From the get-go Darin and his team were extremely accommodating and helpful, and very enthusiastic about meeting our needs and making sure everything went smoothly. They were great to communicate with and our coordinator had no trouble at all working with them. The bus was one of the highlights of our wedding day (and night!) and the driver was so wonderful and welcoming to us and all of our guests. They even went above and beyond by staying with us a little later into the evening to ensure all of our guests were transported to/from the after-party safely. I will hire JOTSB again in a heartbeat!

Darrin and Sierra were so nice and easy to work with! I'm so happy we went with JOTSB for our wedding transportation. Some wedding vendors can be hard to work with so it's nice when you get an easy one. They picked up the bridal party, then got the groomsmen, then family and lastly the guests. They did all that back and forth for such a good price! Our guests loved the look of it. It's great that you can customize what is on the side of the bus. If you want to make a statement definitely go with them. I've had friends that used them for wine tasting now too and it's such a hit. It has the fun party bus vibe without being stodgy. More...

First the idea is unique. They replaced the traditional party bus with such a cool idea. They took us around for a combined 30th birthday party. They were amazing. They chose all the spots and coordinated everything. They made it as easy as possible. They even came to introduce themselves as we were eating lunch. I highly recommend them. More...

Amazing experience with Darin and Lindsay from JOTB. The team eagerly helped me plan a hilariously complicated surprise engagement wine tour with as much enthusiasm as if it were their own. Lindsay was my day-of coordinator and helped wrangle and mobilize all 52 people on 2 buses in our group to 3 vineyards and 1 bar. The buses are clean, well set up (handles on the roof so you can keep your balance while chatting or dancing!), and equipped with excellent stereo systems and bluetooth. I highly recommend this company and will definitely be a repeat customer next time I'm in Santa Barbara. More...

Darin and his whole team was amazing! We had our wedding at Dos Pueblos Orchid farm and there was no parking at the venue. So we needed transportation from the ceremony. Our guests loved it! We really couldn't have asked for more. They were worth every penny. At the end of the night there was a couple of family members that were last to leave. The driver was nice enough to drop them straight to their destination. They were so appreciative of that. Especially since they had kids with them. Darin was very quick to respond every time I contacted him. I really felt I was cared for. We would definitely use them again. It's one of the vendors that we trusted and went above and beyond for us. More...

Darin and his team at Jump on the School Bus were so incredible to work with! As things changed constantly on our end when planning our October wedding in Santa Barbara, they were super helpful and flexible! Honestly, we didn't think transportation was going to be that big of a deal...but our guests had so much fun that they asked the driver to cruise around the block BEFORE going to the after party because they were having so much fun on the bus! I highly HIGHLY recommend using Jump on the School Bus over more traditional transportation to really get the most FUN out of your day/event! Thanks Darin and team!! More...

From my very first phone call with Darin, I knew they were going to be great, and they did not disappoint! They are just great with booking, payment request, etc. Smooth from start to finish. We rented the largest bus for my son's wedding. The bus, driven by Ron (awesome driver) arrived early at the hotel to pick up the groom & the groomsmen and take them to the wedding venue about 20 minutes away. He then returned to the hotel to pick up a bus load of guests to drive to the venue. Everyone had a great experience on the bus. After the wedding, Ron drove the guests back to the hotel, while playing great tunes and even drove an extra couple blocks, so the bus could finish singing along to Bohemian Rhapsody!!! The compliments we got on the bus were over the top GREAT! Everyone is still talking about it! Sadly, I never rode on the bus, but I'll be booking a wine tour soon! Seriously, can't recommend enough!

We had an interesting request from Jump On the School Bus. I found myself and 40 of my students stranded at the Goleta train station due to all trains being cancelled from the day. We were at UCSB for a camp and needed to get back to Newport Beach that day. After contacting a few charter companies and unable to secure an emergency reservation I stumbled on Jump On The School Bus. I didn't even know if they would be able to take us that far. I spoke with the owner and within 45 minutes from speaking to him Brian the bus driver pulled up to the train station. I didn't tell my students that the "bus" was going to be a tricked out black school bus with Christmas lights and music. They also used magnets to write "Corona del Mar ASB Resure!" on the side of the bus. You should have seen the look on my students' faces when Brian pulled up. We basically had a 4 hour party bus back home. The kids had the greatest time and made a long day not so bad. I can't say enough about the customer service. The owner sent me the contract via email and I paid and signed the contract within minutes. Brian was great. He was interactive with the students, drove safely, and made pit stops. We don't live in SB but I wanted to make sure I left a review for them. This is a locally owned business with extremely great customer service. If they can stop whatever they are doing in a moment's notice and take 40 students 4 hours in Friday traffic they can surely help you with your needs. Thank you again, my students will NEVER forget their experience. More...

WOW I cannot say enough good things about the entire Jump On The School Bus team! Before I called JOTSB I called another transportation company (I won't name names) to plan my 26th birthday wine tour. The whole conversation was uninspiring; They didn't have all the vehicles listed on their website, and what they did actually have available didn't sound like it would be a great option.  At the end I was told "you know you'll need to book all of your own tasting reservations, right?" even though a different person I spoke to the day before said they would book everything. After that conversation I felt stressed and hoped that there was a better option.Luckily, the next call I made was to Darin and thank goodness I did! Instantly Darin was excited and began mapping out all the places we could go on a beer and wine tour of the Santa Ynez Valley, assuring me that they would take care of all the reservations. He was so invested and enthusiastic I felt like I was talking with a friend! I knew I didn't need to call anyone else, I was 100% going with Jump On The School Bus! From then on Kathleen and Darin kept in constant contact, helping me confirm numbers, pick up locations (they made one of the pick ups right at my house, how convenient!), lunch orders, and even the words on the side of the bus. I must have updated everything a million times and completed so much at the last minute, but that didn't phase Kathleen. She was beyond helpful throughout the planning process and then even the day of! Kathleen greeted us at our second stop, which was also our lunch stop. We had pre-ordered all of our food -a super helpful tip btw, everything was ready soon after we arrived and we didn't have to juggle 30 people ordering at once- and they put everything on one bill, uh oh. But no worries! Before I could even try to be stressed Kathleen offered to put it on her card and have us all venmo her, she then went around to all of us, doing the math and collecting payments. BEYOND amazing of her!! And I cannot forget our fantastic bus driver Oscar! Even when we went over time he was patient and kept everything moving (literally ha ha). There was also a super helpful text stream that day with everyone on the team so we were all completely aware of everything throughout the day. It was so nice to know they were all only a text message away!Some helpful tips if you want to plan a wine tour:1) Start early - You will want the time to plan, collect money from your friends, collect food orders, etc. 2) You are able to Venmo the payments to JOTSB, which worked well since I had all my friends Venmo me anyway. It also allows you to avoid a fee by using your credit card. 3) Order your lunch in advance if you can! It was so convenient to not worry about the orders when a huge group of us showed up at once. 4) Be aware that the estate wineries will likely want a pre-payment. Have everyone pre-pay this to you as well! For this reason we only did one estate winery, and the rest of the stops were tasting rooms around Buellton and Los Olivos. This also allowed the group to split up and go where they wanted.5) We had our two final stops at Maverick Saloon and Cold Springs Tavern. I would probably just choose one of those to be the final stop instead of trying to do both just due to time!6) Drink the water they provide on the bus in between stops, you'll need it! And bring snacks for the bus, you will definitely want them!!Overall it was one of the best birthdays I've ever had, and I am still amazed they were able to pull off my vision of a ridiculously large wine tour with all of my friends at a reasonable price. I would recommend them in an instant, and will definitely be planning another event just so I have an excuse to work with them again. More...

I recently had a non-traditional wedding in SB where the entire wedding, all 65 of us, went on a post-ceremony wine tour followed by dinner back in town. Coming from out of town and with no wedding planner, I knew it was important for me to book a bus company for my wedding that had the right size buses and knew the area well; however, I underestimated how important the people behind the bus company would be until the day of. I booked JOTSB months in advance and Darin and Sierra were always super communicative and enthusiastic. Getting closer to the big day, Kathleen and I spoke multiple times to coordinate and I really felt I had someone on my team to make sure everything went smoothly. Day of, one of the wineries wasn't being very cooperative and Kathleen and Darin took care of it for me without anyone - including me - noticing any issues.
