Very enjoyable and a great experience. Missing a 5th star because of the total cost of the trip. In general a memorable, fun time.

Had a wonderful time driving “The Bus,” again. Slowed my life down like it once was. Ran well. Absolutely no problems. Passenger side mirror needed constant adjustment, but we remembered it was an “issue” with my ‘67 way back when. So we laughed about it. Thanks for the opportunity for such an experience. I was reluctant to give up the keys!

One of the best decisions I have ever made in my entire life was to rent a 1978 VW Abacore from Bill and Diane at VE Surfaris. Vehicle was a pleasure to be in the entire time. These are great people with a great product. I will be back. Highly recommend!

Our vacation with Vintage Surfari Wagons surpasses our dreams. We are in love with our wagon which was very clean and in top shape for our birthday/anniversary trip to the desert. Hosts, Bill and Diane, worked well with our requests and had the van supplied with everything we needed for comfort and fun. We would love to return for another outing! Driving a vintage vehicle kept us laughing, slowed the pace, brought us back in time, and I might add, attracted attention. 👍
