Our coaches

The bus is half the trip.

Three coaches, 34 to 56 seats. All three ride on air-ride suspension with a restroom on board and an outlet at every seat, kept in our own Martinez yard and driven by the same people year after year.

  • 34, 48 and 56 passengers
  • Restroom and air-ride on all three
  • A 110-volt outlet and a USB port at every seat

Three coaches

Start with your headcount.

All three have a restroom on board, reclining leather seats, and XM satellite radio.

How many are traveling?

  • Up to 34 — any of the three

Traveling comfortably.

  • Wheelchair lift on the 48 and the 56 passenger coaches
  • Tours paced for comfort, not mileage

Traveling with a wheelchair or walker? Call the office before you book and we will assign a lift-equipped coach — the 48 or the 56 — and hold an accessible room where the itinerary allows. The 34 Motorcoach’s amenity list does not include a lift.
