Taking The Bus

The motto for tour companies should be:
"Take the bus, and leave the hassles to us."
I have been taking bus tours for over ten years now and have always found them a pleasant and restful way to travel. The tour guides have always been friendly, eager to help when needed and very informative of the area. The bus drivers are very highly skilled at manouvering around around traffic and finding the quickest ways to get to where we are going.
The seats on the bus are quite comfortable with plenty of leg room.
All the tourist has to do is sit back and enjoy the scenery.You can relax, take photos of the passing landscape, listen to the commentary of the tour guide as you travel from destination to destination or take a nap. Sometimes the bus has an on board video to watch as well as music for the sections of the trip that may take a little longer to get through.
I've travelled with Globus, Cosmos, Travalgar and several other tour companies over the years.
I've taken taken excursions that have lasted from a week to three weeks and have found them all to be a great fun and learning experience.
For a single person or even an older couple it is the best way to get around at a reasonable price.
I highly recommend it.
