Contiki bus tours

Post by BoredShirtless »

Any recommendations for a European bus tour? The European Encounter looks pretty good. If you've been on a bus tour of Europe, what was the pros and cons?

i was in sofia by bus. the pros was that the price is lower than flying, at least in the winter. in the summer flying is cheaper. you also see a whole bunch of landscape on the long trip which leads us directly do the cons which is the word long. when i say long i mean long. it took 25 hours in a bus with little comfort and we only stopped for 15 minutes every 5 hours. the roads of course get worse and worse with gained milage towards the east.

flying is dirt cheap within europe. i´d fly.

I took the deluxe 34 day trip (think it was the Explorer) and I had a blast, although you have to understand what kind of trip this is. Most of the people who go are Australian with a few Canadians and Americans mixed in and all are horny toads. You go on one of these trips to get laid while seeing Europe so as long as you are into that, you should be fine.
