So for my b-day this year I decided to go big and rent a tour bus. I got it from [www.mancusolimo.com](http://www.mancusolimo.com). So far everything is going smoothly and seems like it’s gonna be a blast. The price overall was $699+tip. How much do you tip the driver normally? Where would be some cool places to go other than downtown? The main destination is the Elmwood area. Would it be cheaper to just buy a shit ton of drinks and cruise around on the bus all night instead of bar hopping? Just looking for something out of the ordinary to do besides getting black out drunk. Anyone that I missed on facebook that wants to go lmk asap. -Nick Here is the ride [http://mancusolimo.com/Showroom/3436PassengerLuxuryLiner/tabid/186/Default.aspx](http://mancusolimo.com/Showroom/3436PassengerLuxuryLiner/tabid/186/Default.aspx) ---

15-20% depending on how it was. its the same as going out to a dinner. our last one for my friends birthday was great. got us in and out quick for places we stopped and always made sure to drop us off close to the bars so I think he made 30% of the total bill. Some places downtown are usually free to your party to get into so depending on your age and the crowd, it might be a good time. When I go downtown with like 2 people it blows but as crowds for events and parties, its not a bad time if you go to the right places. If you have a limo, you want to actually use it so have fun and drive around to random places. ---

taking a limo to 1 place is kind of lame… the ride there will be ok, but the ride back is boring as shit… best to bar hop… start @ elmwood, and move on to chip, end @ a strip club ---

I plan on going all over. Elmwood and bar hop, more than likely hit DT then onward! ---

100$ usually. depending on the length of time or you can just ask whoever you are renting from what people usually tip, thats what we did lol, and he said usually 20%, there was like 20people going so we just added 5$ to the split cost for everyone ---

When are you using it? My problem is I was looking during the “prom season” so everything was booked and prices were inflated. ---

35 people is nothing! We have done this before, I would say ~%15 unless we make a real mess of things ---
