A few of the companies we’ve worked with

Inner Space Cavern

One of the most unique geological treasures in Texas lies right beneath the surface of Georgetown. Inner Space Cavern (4200 S I-35 Frontage Rd, Georgetown, TX 78626) was discovered in 1963 by the Texas Highway Department and has since become a premier destination for school field trips, scout troops, and tourists alike. This living cave features fascinating formations that have been developing for over 10,000 years.

Inner Space Cavern is located directly off the I-35 Frontage Road. While there is a parking lot, coordinating a caravan of ten different cars merging onto the highway access road can be dangerous and disorganized. When you book a charter bus rental in Georgetown for your cavern tour, your driver can drop your entire group off right at the entrance to the visitor center. While you explore the cool, 72-degree underground tunnels, your driver handles the parking. Plus, after an hour of walking through humid caves, there is nothing better than stepping onto a climate-controlled bus with comfortable seats to rest your legs before heading to lunch.

Historic Georgetown Square

No trip to the city is complete without visiting the heart of the community: The Georgetown Square. Anchored by the beautifully restored Williamson County Courthouse (710 S Main St, Georgetown, TX 78626), this district is bustling with Victorian-era architecture, boutique shops, wineries, and restaurants like The Monument Cafe or 600 Degrees Pizzeria. It is the venue for major events like the Red Poppy Festival and the Christmas Stroll.

Parking on the Square is notoriously difficult, especially on weekends or during market days. Street parking is limited, and public lots fill up fast. A minibus rental is the perfect solution for groups wanting to shop and dine without the headache of circling the block for forty minutes. Your Charter Bus Georgetown driver can drop your group off at a designated corner near the courthouse and return to pick you up when you have finished your shopping. This is especially helpful for bachelorette parties doing a wine tasting tour or senior citizen groups who want to minimize walking distances.

Blue Hole Park

Located along the South Fork of the San Gabriel River, Blue Hole Park (100 Blue Hole Park, Georgetown, TX 78626) is a scenic lagoon bordered by limestone bluffs. It is a favorite local spot for swimming, picnicking, and wading in the water. It’s an ideal destination for summer camps, youth groups, and family reunions looking to cool off from the Texas heat.

The parking lot at Blue Hole is relatively small and often reaches capacity early in the day. By renting a charter bus, you eliminate the need for parking multiple vehicles. Your group can bring all the necessary gear—coolers, towels, inflatables, and picnic supplies—stored securely in the undercarriage luggage bays of a 56-passenger motorcoach. Once you are dropped off, you can enjoy the water worry-free, knowing your air-conditioned ride will be waiting to take you home or to your next destination.

Southwestern University

As the oldest university in Texas, Southwestern University (1001 E University Ave, Georgetown, TX 78626) boasts a stunning campus filled with historic limestone buildings and lush green spaces. It is a frequent destination for high school academic groups, prospective student tours, and visiting athletic teams. The campus hosts various cultural events, lectures, and concerts open to the public.

For high school counselors organizing campus tours, a charter bus is essential. It keeps students together and allows chaperones to conduct headcounts easily. With onboard amenities like WiFi and power outlets, students can work on assignments or research the university while en route. Charter Bus Georgetown is well versed in navigating the campus layout, ensuring drop-offs occur at the Cullen Building or the admission office without confusion. We can also provide shuttle services for collegiate sports teams traveling to compete against the Southwestern Pirates, offering ample storage for equipment and uniforms.

The Georgetown Palace Theatre

For a touch of culture and nostalgia, the Georgetown Palace Theatre (810 S Austin Ave, Georgetown, TX 78626) is a must-visit. This historic Art Deco movie house has been renovated into a live theater venue that hosts high-quality musicals, plays, and concerts year-round. It is a fantastic evening activity for corporate groups, senior communities, or large family gatherings.

Evening traffic on Austin Avenue can be congested when a show is starting. A private shuttle bus allows your group to be dropped off curbside, right in front of the marquee, so guests in evening wear don’t have to walk far. After the curtain closes, your driver will be ready to transport you to a late dinner or back to your hotel. This adds a VIP touch to your theater experience and ensures that everyone arrives before the opening number.

San Gabriel Park

Spanning over 180 acres where the North and South San Gabriel Rivers meet, San Gabriel Park (445 E Morrow St, Georgetown, TX 78626) is the crown jewel of the city’s park system. With ancient oak trees, hike and bike trails, a skate park, and soccer fields, it is a prime location for company picnics, sports tournaments, and community festivals.

If you are organizing a large corporate picnic or a sports tournament, logistics are key. A charter bus rental serves as a central hub for your group. For sports teams, the undercarriage storage is perfect for hauling soccer balls, nets, and hydration stations. For corporate groups, we can shuttle employees from their office in Austin or Round Rock directly to the park pavilions, ensuring high attendance and morale. Instead of employees driving themselves after a long week, they can bond on the bus ride over.

Garey Park

Nestled on the western edge of the city, Garey Park (6450 RM 2243, Georgetown, TX 78628) is a massive 525-acre park that offers a bit of everything: an equestrian arena, a splash pad, a dog park, and the stunning Garey House event venue. It is a popular spot for destination weddings and large-scale outdoor events.

Garey Park is located a bit further out from the city center, making navigation tricky for out-of-town guests. If you are hosting a wedding at Garey House, a wedding shuttle service is the best gift you can give your guests. We can transport your loved ones from their hotels in Georgetown or Austin directly to the ceremony, ensuring no one gets lost on the winding ranch roads. Plus, with a driver, your guests can enjoy the reception drinks without worrying about driving back to their accommodations comfortably.

Rentsch Brewery & Local Wineries

Georgetown is home to a burgeoning craft beverage scene. Rentsch Brewery (2500 NE Inner Loop, Georgetown, TX 78626) offers a fantastic beer garden atmosphere, while nearby wineries like Grape Creek on the Square offer a taste of the vine. Groups often plan tours to sample the local flavors.

Safety is the number one priority when alcohol is involved. By booking a minibus or party bus for your brewery or winery tour, you automatically establish a designated driver for your entire group. Your driver will handle the navigation between Rentsch Brewery, Barking Armadillo, and downtown tasting rooms while you and your friends relax and enjoy the tastings. It is the responsible, stress-free way to experience Georgetown's nightlife and craft culture.
