About VIP Tour & Charter Bus Company
For decades, VIP Tour & Charter Bus Company has been a trusted name in motorcoach transportation throughout Maine and New England.
Welcome to VIP
VIP was founded in 1985 and quickly became known as a dependable, locally respected charter and transportation provider. Schools, wedding planners, and corporations across the region relied on our owner-operated model, dedicated drivers, and company-owned fleet built around one promise: move people safely and on time.
That foundation of trust still defines how we operate today.
A New Chapter
Under new ownership and leadership by Tom Spina, VIP expanded beyond traditional charter transportation. Through close collaboration with Conway Scenic Railroad, VIP supported a rail-and-motorcoach program that gained strong traction in the cruise market. Its performance led Royal Caribbean to extend port time so guests could participate.
That turning point moved our work from transportation support into curated experiences designed for cruise guests and group travelers.
Growing Through Trust
Through consistent service, on-time operations, and close coordination with partners, VIP has developed long-term relationships across cruise, receptive, and group-travel programs.
