I booked with Valley Hop AZ for my sister’s bachelorette party in Scottsdale. Mike was our driver and went above and beyond to decorate the bus with bachelorette gifts and signs to make it special for my sister. He was on time, communication was excellent from booking to helping with recommendations of winery/distillery stops and for being flexible with our plans that day. You can play your own music and set up whatever type of vibe you’re going for. They are an amazing company and I’d highly recommend!
