| It was the best way to do Halloween on a Saturday in the City. There were no lines except for the bathroom :) and no covers which on Halloween can run as high as $30-$35 dollars. The bars were nice places that had several floors so we were not overcrowded and we were able to party. I highly recommend the Halloween trip. We got to go to four bars, rides to each one, and never had to pay or wait...it really does not get better than that. Plus everyone on the bus was so funny and out to have a good time that we all ended up partying together!!! It is a MUST DO!!! |

| It was mostly focus on the younger crowd and their type of bars. And of course, they got more intoxicated as the night went on and inapproriate behaviors! ( some needed to get off the bus and go a hotel) It was very uncomfortable.
Also,we were hoping the bars visited would have been a variety( atmosphere, music etc..) they were all the same- very dark with techno throbbing ). We were dissapointed in the last minute change to a later time and the decrease in number of bars visited. We should have just saved our money and stayed at Old Town! |

Good idea, but want longer time on the bus

| the bus was a great way to spend out Oct. 31 festivities. no lines, didn't have to walk in the rain. our only issue was that we didn't spend a lot of time actually on the bus (where we had our own booze)...it was like get on the bus....go to next bar that was close by. i would have like to have done more bars in different parts of town to take advantage of having a "ride."
plus going to Kelly's Irish Times at the end of the night was a letdown. Ultabar was promised....i can get into Irish Times any time. |

| I am very disappointed in this experience. I paid a lot of money and there were no drink specials and to make matters worse the bus got in an accident and made us wait for along time to get a ride. I will never ride Boomerang again. |

| The bus tour was fun way to hang out with friends and go bar hopping. I would probably change a couple of the bars but the space was nice. |

| We had a great time on and off the bus. Dave was an excellent host, lots of fun but not trying to be the center of attention. He was great at facilitating our awesome day. I would definitely do another Boomerang event and bring all my friends. |

| At first I was skeptical about doing a bar tour starting a 2pm, but the 9pm bus was sold out so I took a chance. It actually turned out to be the better choice for me and my group of friends who are all single and over 30. 53 people total came on our tour and nearly everyone came in costume. We went to 4 different bars in and around Dupont Circle, Georgetown and Adams Morgan (three of the better neighborhoods in DC if your not familiar) and we all had a blast. All of the bars had drinks specials for us and no one on the bus got too drunk or unruly beyond just having a good time. Great music and lots of dancing. I think if we had booked ourselves on the 9pm bus it would have been too crazy for us and we like to party.
The only thing I would say was lacking was that I couldn't get the itinerary ahead of time and we had trouble contacting the host when we were running late and thought we might miss the first stop.
Tips: you can byob on the bus as long as you don't take it off the bus. Bring cash, cause it takes too long to cash out with credit when the bus is about to leave. Stay at the Hotel Madera if you need a hotel. It's gorgeous and within walking distance of the pick up and drop off point. |

| I was a bit skeptical to hop on the bus on Halloween! I thought it would be complete chaos (and not the good kind). But it was FANTASTIC! Definitely the way to go! Nikki did a wonderful job of keeping us on schedule and was a great hostess. And it was awesome being able to skip those LONNNG Halloween lines and crazy cover charges at the bars. I am very impressed at how well organized it all was. My group had a fabulous time, and everyone on the bus got along really well. I will definitely ride the Boomerang again! |

| Had a great time on the Halloween bus - my only recommendation is to not always start at Rumours - we couldn't even go into Rumors at this time because they were having their own Halloween party. I enjoyed going to Eye Bar and UltraBar, but I would not recommend Irish Times again - that was kind of a let down - very quiet and smelly compared to the clubs. Our host Dave also wasn't very enthusiastic as other hosts I've had on other bus trips - he didn't get the crowd going too much - |

| A group of friends and I went on the Boomerang Bus Bar Tour for Halloween. It was great fun. Everyone on the bus was really fun and social and being able to cut the lines on Halloween was the icing on the cake. Dave our party guide made sure to talk to everyone and make sure the party continued. I would definitely do it again! |
