Found MLA Charter via google and could not have been more thrilled with our day of wine tasting in Murphys! Kelly was super prompt to get back to me with... read more all my questions and even gave us a free upgrade from the 14 passenger van to the 20 passenger shuttle bus since no one else had booked it that weekend! She was on time to our reservation and had great communication from start to finish!

Kelly was not only the person I was in contact with for booking, but she also ended up being our driver.

I must make a confession - I did not admit to Kelly prior to our pick up that we were a bachelorette party, because lets be honest; No one likes a bachelorette party lol
But once we were picked up, Kelly mentioned that if I HAD said something in advanced about us being a bach, that they have markers to use on the bus and make it that more festive. Sooo with that in mind, if you are looking to book MLA for a bach, they seem to be bach friendly!

However, I must say we were not just ANY REGULAR bachelorette party -- we all dressed up as grannies for our day of wine tasting! Kelly fully embraced her role as the driver for a bunch of silly 30year olds dressed up as senior citizens and made the day that more special!

Kelly picked up us directly at our house outside of Sonora and was totally on it for our day of granny-bach wine tasting-shenanigans. She got us home safely and had such a fun attitude about our silliness and was the best driver -- she contributed so much to us having a super fun day!

She event sent us the sweetest hand written card in the mail! Such a lovely and classy touch!!

MLA will be our go to for chartering in Tuolumne county from here out, If I could give 10 stars I would! Thanks again Kelly for being a part of bride-to-be's fun day!!

  We booked Mother Lode Adventures Charter service to take a group of 8 to the cruise terminal in San Francisco. Kelly is great to work with. She stays... read more in contact with you every step of the way. They were on time to take us to SF and then came back at the end of our cruise to pick us up. It worked perfectly. We were dropped off at the entrance and never had to deal with luggage. Kelly was great about stopping half way home for a lunch break. I would highly recommend their service and will keep them in mind for our next adventure.

  We had an airport shuttle service scheduled with Mother Lode Adventures for our daughter to be transported at the end of her 12 day backpacking trip in Yosemite. When... read more she fell ill and had to come home early this outfit went above and beyond the call of duty on a holiday weekend to help us. Your service was the very top of professionalism, with clear and timely communication, good advice and excellent service. When we picked up our daughter that evening at the airport she remarked, “Where did you find them? They were full-service!”

  I wanted to enjoy Yosemite, but didn't want the hassle of driving, parking and figuring out where to go. Kelly and Scott Smith of Motherlode Adventures organized a wonderful day... read more tour to Yosemite. They drove us there, helped us in choosing points of interest to visit, shared insights and history that really added to the trip, and made it an enjoyable adventure.

What really made it extra special was the personal service. From the word go, Kelly really listened to what we were looking for, and was resource every step of the way. I didn't feel like a number, or just somebody being picked up, but rather a favored guest to whom they were giving a tour. They do tours throughout the Mother Lode region, and I'm looking forward to taking one of their winery tours next year.

I found out that they also do wedding, event and corporate transportation service, and have already recommended them to friends. Mother Lode Adventures Charter Services takes transportation and tours to a really exceptional level, and they really earned their 5 stars from me.
