recommended for a great, safe time when you are ready to celebrate.

Owners, Ralph and Joy Huval, are the defining point that warrant rating Bon Temps Express as the best.  Not only is their spirit for adventure and fun contagious, but they treat guests on the bus as family.  A finger won’t be lifted if you are a guest, as every need is attended to with speed and accuracy.

When asked to let someone assist her with carrying one of the best coolers in 2018 loaded with ice out of the 34-passenger 40 feet long bus, Joy quickly brought attention to the “guns” she was packing.  Serving drinks, returning rented tuxedos and building relationships with others, Joy is the natural sidekick for her husband Ralph.

Ralph maintains a tight schedule and ensures you arrive on time even when the streets and crowds attempt to keep you at bay.  He never misses a chance to smile at the chaos going on behind him.

A safe alternative to traveling about Lake Charles when you want to spend the evening partying, the Bon Temps Express is the perfect no frills option.  You don’t have to worry about food or drink minimums, just pack your own and board the bus.  Want special music or party favors for a theme party?  Then just let the merry duo know and they’ll be happy to let you bring what you need.
