Introduction

If you’re looking to add a splash of fun and originality to your Amsterdam trip, a PartyBus might just be what you need. We haven’t personally hopped on this specific bus, but from what’s shared, it’s a creative way to celebrate special occasions or just enjoy a different side of the city with friends or colleagues.
What really catches our eye about this experience is how it transforms a classic American school bus into a lively, fully-equipped mobile party zone. Plus, the fact that it offers a private ride for up to 15 people makes it perfect for groups wanting a personalized celebration or a unique way to arrive at an event—like a football match or birthday bash.
One thing to keep in mind is that it’s a 1-hour drive, so it’s a short but lively ride — great for a quick celebration or ice-breaker, but maybe not enough if you’re craving a longer adventure. This experience feels best suited for those who want a fun, informal, way to kick off a day or make a memorable arrival somewhere in Amsterdam.

The Experience in Detail

What is the PartyBus Amsterdam?
This isn’t your typical bus ride. The host company, Partymove, has taken a classic American school bus and turned it into a mobile party zone. When you step inside, you’re greeted with a vibrant, upbeat environment designed to make everyone smile. The benches are arranged along the sides, which encourages socializing and conversation—perfect for groups who want to feel close and connected.
The bus boasts some pretty cool features: multiple screens for music videos or presentations, microphones for announcements or speeches, high-speed WiFi for sharing moments live, and customizable lighting and sound systems to set just the right mood. It feels like a mobile lounge that doubles as a party mobile — a great way to kick off a celebration or arrive at an event in style.
What’s Included in the Ride?
For this hour-long experience, your group gets a private transportation service, meaning no sharing with strangers or random groups. The price of $689.37 covers the entire bus for your group, which is a reasonable deal considering the exclusivity and amenities involved.
Each person gets a drink, which we see as a nice touch—whether it’s for toasting, relaxing, or just setting the mood. However, note that alcoholic beverages, sodas, and snacks are not included, so if you want more refreshments, you’ll need to arrange that separately.
What About the Route?
The tour starts in Amsterdam, but the exact route isn’t fixed. It’s flexible depending on your plans — whether you want to cruise around the city, head to a specific venue, or make a surprise stop. Since the ride is fully customizable, you can coordinate pickup and drop-off points with the provider. This makes it a versatile option for various occasions, from weddings and company parties to birthday celebrations.

The Driving Experience
The ride lasts about an hour, so it’s a quick but lively jaunt through the city or perhaps a scenic route just outside the busy areas. The air-conditioned vehicle ensures everyone remains comfortable, even on warmer days. Plus, with the modern amenities, the atmosphere inside is fun and relaxed.
A user review captures the vibe well: “Everyone was very surprised when the bus arrived at our office. With good music and nice drinks, we arrived at our destination in the best mood.” It sounds like the element of surprise and the lively environment really add to the experience.
Who Would Love This?

Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion, organizing a team outing, or just want to enjoy a quirky tour of Amsterdam, the private setting and upbeat vibe make it a hit. If you’re into social, lively experiences and enjoy personalized touches, this PartyBus could be just the ticket.
However, it’s worth mentioning that if you’re expecting a long, sightseeing-oriented tour, this isn’t it. It’s more about the vibe, the company, and the fun surroundings than extensive sightseeing.
Who Should Consider This Experience?

- Groups celebrating birthdays, weddings, or other milestones
- Companies looking for a fun team-building activity
- Friends wanting an unconventional way to explore or arrive at an event
- Those who enjoy music, socializing, and a vibrant atmosphere
