I used Charter Bus Company Apex to book a bus for an overnight field trip to Charlotte. Their service was wonderful! The staff was very professional and easy to work with, answered my questions quickly, and made booking very easy. The bus was exactly what we needed, arrived on time, and the driver was friendly and helpful. He drove us to all our destinations (including Carowinds, Discovery Place, and Concord Mills) and went shopping! This was the best experience I’ve had booking a bus, and I will definitely use them again!
