One Journey Four (5) Countries 2024 - from Zagreb

It was a perfect trip from the moment I go off the plane until the time I had to say goodbye.

Europe Escape

Amazing experience, very fast paced . Sometimes you would arrive in locations during the night and leave early in the morning. Met amazing people and would do another trip there are some extra costs so best to factor this in as well. Would recommend.

Best of the Adriatic

Excellent vacation. Great tour guide, driver, hotels. I highly recommend Indus travel - Best of the Adriatic!!!!

• Christmas & New Year

European Delight

Excellent tour that covered pretty much all the hotspots along the way. Nice and clean hotels with the exception of one. Coaches were clean and the drivers carried water bottles in the fridge... you can get one for a Euro if needed. Europamundo's own coaches have vending machines in the bus and you can fetch water, coke, and other drinks. Most of the coaches did not have usb charging points which is a big negative as we spent lot of time on the road and phone needed charging. Tour guides were awesome, knowledgeable, and accommodative. Having exclusive local guides at some places was great as we got direct knowledge and in-depth history of the place during the visits. Overall it was a great experience on a 17 days tour from Rome to Paris.

Enchanted Landscapes

I had a wonderful time and loved all the sites. Tour guides were amazingly pleasing, informative and accommodating. Patricia Falchi, what a gem. She was dedicated and kind and always available and willing to answer questions and attend all travelers. Albert was also awesome, 'Familia' was his trademark and that is how he made us feel, like a Family. Overall great experience, tour, and it was a pleasure and so exciting to meet new people and new relationships! a must do for any worldly traveler. There is a lot of walking, July is very hot at 40celsius, moving around and activity but how else will you see the wonders of Europe in 15 days!!! loved the Swiss Alps - truly the best experience overall. Food and people in Italy were the best, and sangria in Spain was awesome!! Paris sites were awesome, food was also very good, except for frittes lol. they will serve you a good steak with fries but not too bad. Switzerland can use some customer service skills particularly the waitresses not making any effort to communicate in any other language but their own, but overall what a beautiful country. Snobby and arrogant attendant in the gift shop at the Alps (lost sales cause the treatment was horrible) but the alps themselves - omg what an experience!!! Would definitely do it again and make sure that Patricia and Albert are my tour guides. Sending my love..

Britain and Ireland Delight (Summer, 8 Days)

An amazing trip. Sarah Rose was the best tour guide we have ever had. Her knowledge of the history of the UK and Ireland was outstanding. We were looked after from the time we met before starting the trip until after we left then bus at the end. The extra activities were a highlight of the trip and Sarah was the bubbly personality that brought the 40 holiday makers together. A special mention to our bus driver Tomek who was on hand all hours to make sure we were at our destinations on time. Always friendly and willing to help if needed. I would highly recommend the trip and the staff that made this an unforgettable expe4ience. Regards John & Mary

Sicily & Aegadian Islands (10 days/9 nights) - starting from Catania

Essential Britain & Ireland

I’ve just returned from this fabulous tour! I highly recommend it. We had the greatest tour guide and bus driver. The itinerary was fascinating . You read about the itinerary before you go, but the reality of the itinerary far exceeded my expectation! We were blessed with great weather, too. We only had misty rain on two of the 10 days. I would probably change one of the hotels and one if the meals, but of those were fine. Others were just better! The excursions were great. I went on four out six of them. Did our own thing the last night in London. The Park Plaza Westminster Bridge was my favorite hotel and it was strategically located!

Croatia and the Balkans

A really interesting trip; beautiful countries with interesting histories. Sarajevo a highlight for most as so surprisingly attractive and enjoyable. Several good tours and activities included. Nice range of fellow travellers from 30-80 including couples and singles.

Best of Ireland and Scotland (15 Days)

Excellent - the timing was great. Glen was lovely, professional, gracious, and made himself available for us. He went above and beyond. This made our experience wonderful.

What people love about Coach / Bus Tours in Europe

This tour with Elite Travels was busy - so much to see in so little time. Hotels and food were great. Best part was Damir, our guide for the entire trip. I've taken many tours and he stands out as the best of them all. He was excellent in every way - in giving us clear instructions, telling us what to expect for the day, very patient, answered all out questions, and was very knowledgeable of the places we visited, including their histories. Our driver, Tatiana, was not just an expert driver, but very helpful and kind. Our English speaking local guides were all good, but I would point out Kristina as the best. She had all kinds of surprises for us, including giving me a dance lesson on a local dance and writing my name in cyrilic alphabet. Scars and stories from the war of the 1990s are heartbreaking but I deeply appreciated seeing and hearing them firsthand. Travel must be an educational experience of both the good and bad. So thank you, Elite Travels for a wonderful 10 day journey!

Great experience. Very fun.

Explore all the places we go in Europe

THIS IS WHAT AWAITS IN EUROPE

Towering castles. Untamed natural beauty. Captivating history. Can’t-miss cuisine. This is your time, your moment, your chance to discover Europe.

Destination Must-Sees

Irish countryside:

Take in the atmosphere of quaint seaside villages, see awe inspiring views of the Lakes of Killarney and explore the picturesque town of Kinsale. Wherever you travel in the countryside, you’ll find that the rolling hills and friendly people you encounter will become a part of your fabric.

Ancient cities of Italy:

Italy is positively brimming with the world’s most famous Roman ruins like the Colosseum, Pompeii and many other relics from the ancient past. In fact, many cities in Italy still hold evidence of what once was. You can find an aqueduct, city gate, Roman theatre or the ruins of an entire city there.

Get to know the city that was once considered the capital of the world! A panoramic tour by a local expert leads you to all the most iconic spots in London. See Trafalgar Square, St. Paul’s Cathedral, the Tower of London, Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, Big Ben and many more places you’ve only read about.

Louvre Museum:

The Louvre Museum holds some of the most priceless treasures in the world. Enjoy touring with a local expert who will take you through an array of works ranging from ancient times to the mid-19th century. Don’t keep the ladies waiting! DaVinci’s famous Mona Lisa and the renowned Venus de Milo await your visit!

Destination Must-Dos

Explore Chateau de Chillon:

Europe has a wide variety of castles to choose from. The exquisite Chateau de Chillon in Switzerland presides over Lake Geneva. Beginning life as a Roman outpost, today it is the nation’s most visited historic site.

Drift down a canal:

While canals are found across Europe, nothing beats a romantic gondola ride in Venice. Locals like to say the best way to explore the city is to ‘get lost.’ So take a ride along these waterways, step off and then wind your way through the intricate blend of bridges, narrow streets and grand squares.

Drink Bordeaux wine:

Just about anywhere you travel in Europe, you’re bound to come across some fantastic wine, especially in Bordeaux in France. Resting on the Garonne River, this charming area is one of the largest wine growing regions on the continent.

The Palace of Versailles

The iconic Palace of Versailles (UNESCO) and its gardens reflect the extravagant tastes of King Louis XIV, the "Sun King." Alongside a local guide, learn the history and admire the various rooms of the State Apartments, including the Queen's bedchamber and the famous Hall of Mirrors. Be sure to explore the incredible gardens, some of the most famous in the world, which took over 40 years to complete and include intricate architecture, elabourate fountains, and gorgeous statues.

Brochures that feature our europe tours, destinations in europe.

Magnificent landscapes combined with the country’s charming traditions and customs offer new experiences unlike anywhere else in the world. Famous for bullfighting, Spain allows you to grab life by the horns and dive into adventure. Whether it’s the eye-catching architecture of Madrid, the bold Spanish wines, or the shimmering Costa del Sol, this country remains a delight to the senses. Once you experience Spain, you’ll never want to leave and when you do, you’ll always be craving more.

A gem of the Iberian Peninsula, Portugal is a paradise. On the coasts, sun-soaked beaches meet breathtaking hillside towns all down the edge of the Atlantic Ocean. In the cities, ancient structures rise up shoulder-to-shoulder with modern living. Everywhere you turn, you can find mouth-watering food paired with delicious local wines, medieval architecture paired with Moorish artistic influence, and friendly locals paired with charming attitudes. No matter what you seek, when you go, where you look, or how long you stay, Portugal offers something for every traveller.

Whether it’s old-world traditions and wonderful culture, cuisine, history, fashion or natural beauty, Italy is special to many people for different reasons. Few other countries boast so many legendary cities. There are also many charming hill towns and coastal villages that showcase Italy’s amazing natural beauty. From the big cities to the small towns, there is always something exciting to see in Italy. With so many reasons to visit, the rest is up to you!

A rendezvous with a magnifique experience awaits! As cliché as it sounds, France truly has something for everyone. With over two dozen cities, each with their own nuances of the French culture and contributions to its history, architecture, art and last but not least, the gastronomical delights that the French are famous for throughout the world are yours to explore, experience and fall in love with during your stay. Coast to coast, border to border, there are seemingly endless variations on your French experience to be had. Rolling hills and scenic valleys lined with the fruit of the gods; seaside towns, along sandy beaches with views you just might be sharing with royalty; or maybe snowcapped mountain ranges providing some of the best skiing in the world and an adrenaline rush to match is what you seek. Whatever you decide, France easily makes you feel as if you have stepped out of reality and into the art you learned about and loved since you were a child.

At the heart of Europe, monumental contemporary and historic events shape today’s Germany. From the fall of the Berlin Wall to the rise of the Beatles in Hamburg, the culture of the country is marked by its influential past and present. Imagine yourself exploring postcard-worthy castles such as Neuschwanstein or wandering through medieval cities such as Regensburg. From the Bavarian Alps to the Rhine Gorge to the plains of the north, the range of Germany’s landscapes will capture your heart. Perhaps you’ll also indulge your taste buds as you sample the delicious Marzipan sweet treats of the Hanseatic port of Lubeck, which have been produced there for over 200 years. Whether on a journey on the ‘Romantic Road’ or cruising along the Rhine, know that a stein of German beer or a glass of wine from the Rhine vineyards are both a worthy compliment to a destination that offers far more than the average traveller anticipates.

Switzerland

Incredible skiing on the Swiss Alps and delectable Swiss chocolate are only two reasons for visiting Switzerland. Located between Austria, France, Germany and Italy, you can get quite a diverse European cultural experience depending on which region of Switzerland you choose. And though the food, music, art and people themselves are very much influenced by their European neighbours, they are all still uniquely Swiss. You will leave with plenty of memories to savour for a lifetime.

Des idées pour voyager au bout du Monde

Voyager en bus en Europe

Dernière mise à jour : 19 mars 2023

Si vous aimez les roadtrip, voyager à travers l'Europe en bus vous promet une multitude de périples à destination des capitales mythiques, des campagnes paisibles, des littoraux ou des monts enneigés. Si vaste, le "vieux continent" composé géographiquement de 50 Etats, possède une multitude de richesses propices au tourisme. De la Grèce à la Finlande, de l'Ukraine au Portugal, l'Europe détient de nombreuses facettes pour vous embarquer à la découverte de ses héritages culturels, historiques, religieux, artistiques, architecturaux ou encore gastronomiques... Et ce ne sont pas le autocars qui manquent pour vous conduire aux quatre coins du continent !

Ce sont plus de 80 000 kilomètres d'autoroutes qui traversent le continent européen, grâce aux voyages en bus vous aurez de quoi programmer des roadtrip aux quatre coin de l'Europe , de façon écologique, économique et trépidante !

Pourquoi voyager en bus en Europe ?

Partir à la découverte des plus beaux paysages d'Europe en bus (ou plutôt en autocar) présente de nombreux avantages que voici :

1. Voyager en bus c'est très économique !

S'il est vrai que la guerre des prix se fait de plus en plus dense et qu'il existe des billets d'avion à tout petit prix, le voyage en bus reste un mode de transport particulièrement accessible à tous . C'est même le mode de transport le plus économique comparativement à la voiture personnelle, le train ou l'avion. On peut par exemple relier Paris à Amsterdam pour 19€ contre 63€ en train et au delà en avion. Pour faire moins cher il faut prendre son vélo ! Certains pays, en Asie et en Amérique du Sud particulièrement, sont depuis longtemps dotés de lignes de bus ultra confortables et à des tarifs qui défient toute concurrence. L'Europe est moins souvent arpentée de cette manière, et pourtant c'est un mode de voyage qui devrait être adopté par tous les backpackers, les jeunes voyageurs et tous ceux qui veulent aller loin à moindre coût.

➜ Vous pouvez voir les tarifs ici .

2. Voyager en bus c'est plus lent et donc plus convivial

Evidemment, dans notre monde qui va à cent à l'heure, nous sommes souvent tentés d'opter pour un moyen de transport rapide ! Si vous n'avez que 48h pour profiter d'un week-end à Barcelone au départ de Paris, il est évident que les 15 heures de bus ne seront pas attrayantes contre 1h45 en avion. Cependant, il existe un mode de voyage, celui qui consiste à prendre son temps (le "Slow Travel"), qui se prête parfaitement aux déplacements par la route. Voyager en bus permet de ne rater aucune miette des étapes, regarder défiler le paysage par la fenêtre, nouer des liens avec ses compagnons de voyage en vivant une expérience humaine plutôt insolite. La proximité des passagers sur la longue durée, qui se trouvent des points communs de par leur motivation à voyager en autocar, fait partie des points forts d'un long voyage en bus (à condition de ne pas tomber sur des voisins bruyants ou malpolis, ce qui peut arriver dans n'importe quel transport en commun...). A l'étranger, voyager en bus est une occasion de découvrir la vie locale de plus près.

3. Voyage en bus, c'est plus écolo

A l'heure où la protection de la planète devient une priorité pour tous, choisir son mode de déplacement en fonction de son empreinte carbone est un élément essentiel. Il est vrai qu'un bus c'est un gros engin qui roule à l'essence, mais... celui-ci est partagé par de nombreux utilisateurs, il consomme donc beaucoup moins qu'une voiture individuelle. Comparativement à l'avion ou la voiture, voyager en bus limite l'émission de CO2 . L'émission moyenne d'un voyage en autocar est de 58,5 kg de CO2 par passager contre 240 kg en avion ou 170 kg en voiture.

4. Les bus vont partout en Europe

En bus et en autocar vous pouvez relier toutes les grandes et moyennes villes européennes sans faire des détours illogiques. Pour certains itinéraires, et surtout si vous ne partez pas de Paris, il est bien plus intelligent d'opter pour ce mode de transport car le train ou l'avion vous feraient faire des escales parfois incongrues. N'oubliez pas que le réseau routier européen est constitué de 80 000 kilomètres de voies rapides, il y a largement de quoi planifier des road trip ! Surtout que les départs sont fréquents et que pour les distances longues pour pourrez opter pour un bus de nuit afin que les kilomètres défilent pendant votre sommeil. L'Europe de l'Ouest, centrale, du Sud, de l'Est et du Nord sont des territoires très contrastés qui peuvent se découvrir grâce aux liaisons en autocar quotidiennes.

5. L'Europe a tant de choses à vous offrir !

L'Europe est vaste, elle s'étend au sens géographique sur plus de 10 millions de kilomètres carrés ! Autant vous dire que vous avez l'embarras du choix pour y planifier un voyage dépaysant . Vous avez envie de soleil et de plage pour partir au printemps et en été ? Vous pourrez vous rendre sur les côtes de la Méditerranée, de la mer Adriatique ou encore de la Mer Noire. Si au contraire ce sont les paysages du Nord qui vous attirent, vous pourrez monter dans un bus qui vous mène vers la mer Baltique ou la mer du Nord. Et puis, la partie centrale du continent possède tellement de villes chargées d'histoire que vous pourrez faire un tour des capitales en passant par Vienne, Prague, Zagreb, Bucarest ou encore Venise. En bref, sortez vos cartes, dressez la liste de vos vœux et tracez vos itinéraires !

L'Europe en bus : Itinéraires et distances

Pour vous aider à planifier un voyage en bus à travers l'Europe, voici quelques idées de destinations et de roadtrips faciles à réaliser en autocar si vous avez trois semaines à y consacrer. Ce sont des boucles qui passent par des capitales et grandes villes, il existe bien sur multiples possibilités pour apporter des variantes à ces itinéraires. Pour vous héberger, vous pourrez trouver des auberges de jeunesses ou camping pour un voyage à bas prix.

1. Une boucle en Espagne et au Portugal

Voici un itinéraire facile pour vous rendre dans le sud direction l'Espagne et le Portugal. Je vous donne un exemple au départ de Paris mais ça marche aussi bien en partant de la grande ville la plus proche de chez vous. Ce circuit en bus vous conduira dans le sud de la France avant de franchir la frontière espagnole pour découvrir Barcelone, Valence, Grenade et Séville mais aussi Lisbonne et Porto au Portugal. Une aventure méditerranéenne pour laquelle je vous recommande de passer au moins deux nuits par étape (et plus si affinités et en fonction de vos possibilités).

2. Le tour des capitales culturelles d'Europe centrale

Cette boucle vous permet de découvrir en trois semaines les grandes villes comme Bruxelles, Amsterdam, Berlin, Prague, Vienne, Budapest, Zagreb, Venise et Milan ! Si vous prévoyez ce type de road trip en autocar, planifiez de séjourner minimum deux nuits dans chaque étape. Evidemment, si vous êtes étudiants ou que pour une autre raison vous avez deux mois ou plus à consacrer à votre périple, c'est le must car vous pourrez improviser et laisser durer le plaisir dans certaines étapes en fonction de vos affinités.

3. D'autres idée de longs périples européens en bus

Jusqu'à l'Europe du Nord

Vous pouvez vous rendre en bus jusqu'au Danemark en passant par la Belgique et les Pays Bas, traverser ensuite la Suède et la Finlande pour enfin rejoindre en ferry l'Estonie avant de reprendre la route du retour vers la France en traversant la Lettonie, la Lituanie, la Pologne et l'Allemagne.

Ce long voyage en bus se fait en deux mois environ si l'on compte deux à trois nuits par étape.

Jusqu'à la Mer Noire

En autocar vous pouvez partir à la découverte de la Roumanie, la Bulgarie, l'Albanie, le Monténégro. Vous traverserez alors la Suisse, l'Autriche et la Hongrie au départ de la France.

4. Prendre le bus pour découvrir la France

Si vous n'avez que quelques jours à consacrer à une escapade et que vous tenez à voyager sans prendre l'avion , vous pourrez rejoindre en moins de 4h la Belgique (Bruxelles) mais aussi et surtout de nombreuses villes de France qui ne demandent qu'à être découvertes ! Partez facilement en séjour à Saint Malo, Toulouse, Grenoble Avignon ou Montpellier.

Ci-dessous quelques distances pour vous donner une idée :

Pour commencer, le plus important est de préparer un bagage qui ira dans la soute de l'autocar et un bagage à main dans lequel vous aurez tout votre nécessaire. Et puis, préférez les vêtements amples et confortables pour un long périple !

Dans le bagage à main, n'oubliez pas les éléments essentiels ci-dessous :

Vodka Museum Tour with transport (excursion only)

Lena, our guide in Moscow was excellent. She was very knowledgable and could answer any question we had for her. We liked that she could pick up on our interests and take us places we might not have thought of to go. When we realized that one of the places we had chosen to see would probably not be that interesting to us, she was able to arrange entry to the Diamond Fund and the Armoury for us. Riding the Metro with Lena was a real adventure and a lot of fun. In Saint Petersburg we found Anna well versed in the history of the Tsars and in the Hermitage collection. Arkady in Veliky Novgorod was a very good guide and answered all of our questions with ease. Novgorod was perhaps a long way to go for a day trip, but we did enjoy it. Vasily was a great driver to have and kept us safe with good humour and skill. We enjoyed ourselves so much, my daughter says she is already planning to return. We would both have no hesistation to recommend ExpresstoRussia to anyone we know.

Just wanted to let you know that My grandson Bruno and I couldn´t have been more pleased with our week in Moscow (6/15 - 6/21). We were absolutely enchanted with the whole experience, including getting lost a couple of times in the Metro during our free time. Although both our guides (both Eleanas) were excellent, I would particularly commend the first one (she took us to the Tatiakov, the KGB tour, and to that beautiful cemetery where so many great Russian artists, authors, composers, musicians, militarists, and politicians are buried). Her knowledge is encyclopedic; and her understanding of today´s Russia as a product of its past was, for us, truly enlightening. I will be taking another tour in Russia, with my wife, within the next two or three years. I will be in touch with you when the time comes. Meanwhile, I will refer you to other potential visitors to Russia as I meet them.

Moscow, a City Like No Other

Moscow is Russia’s largest city with a population of between 12 and 13 million. It is also Europe’s largest city and when you visit Moscow, you can feel it. The layout and architecture of the city is eclectic, ranging from crooked, ancient streets and alleyways to wide, bustling boulevards, from medieval churches to Stalin skyscrapers and to modern, glass buildings towering over everything and of course in the center of it all is the Kremlin and the magnificent Red Square. Moscow is also home to a fantastic, efficient and very beautiful metro system – each station having its own special design. In fact, Express to Russia’s Moscow metro tours and excursions are some of our most popular attractions that we offer. On our Moscow tours, you will see this and more.

Moscow Tours centering on Russian History

Moscow has a long and interesting history and has been the capital of Russia in many of its different iterations – capital of the Grand Duchy of Moscow , the Russian Empire and of course the Soviet Union (who could ever forget the Soviet Union?). Moscow, was founded in the 12th century by Prince Yuri Dolgaruki (Yuri of the long arms – he really did have long arms!). From that time on, it was home to the Russian Tsars until Peter the Great moved the capital to St. Petersburg in 1703. The city has survived invasions and sieges from the Mongols, the Tartars, the Poles, Lithuanians and Napoleon but has always persevered. Our Moscow tours will enlighten you on this great history and give you insights into Muscovites and their unique culture. Our Moscow tours show you what the city is like today but also brings to life the past. Moscow never seems to sleep and is bursting with energy. A Moscow tour with Express to Russia is truly the best way of getting to know Russia’s largest and most vibrant city.

Frequently Asked Questions From Our Travelers

What is the best time to visit moscow.

Any time of year is fine depending on what you plan to do. Summertime is pleasantly warm, ideal for exploring the city and its vibrant atmosphere, but Moscow will be much busier and accommodation is more expensive. Winter can be quite cold but beautiful nonetheless, and this is unproblematic if you intend to spend most of your trip in museums and galleries. There are also various festivals and events organised throughout the year. For more information about the best time to visit, read our guide

How many days are enough in Moscow?

If you plan your itinerary strategically and aren’t averse to a packed schedule, you can cover Moscow’s main sights over a long weekend. Most popular attractions are in the city centre, and the Moscow Metro allows you to cover much ground in a small amount of time. Ensure that your accommodation is fairly central and book tickets in advance, so that you can make the most of your days. For an informative and well-organised day out, check out our Moscow day tours with options to suit all interests.

Do they speak English in Moscow?

As Russia’s capital city, tourists are well accommodated in Moscow. There should be English-speaking staff in restaurants, bars, hotels, shops and attractions in tourist hotspots, and there are also English-speaking tourist police. Transport services have English translations on their maps and English announcements via intercom; alternatively, order taxis from the Yandex Taxi app (Russian Uber), though it’s unlikely that your taxi driver will speak English. If you get stuck and cannot communicate, it’s fine to use Google Translate.

Is it safe to travel to Moscow?

It is no less safe to travel to Moscow than to any European city if you exercise common sense and look after your belongings. As with every city some regions can be more unsavoury than others, but no tourist attractions are located there. The traffic in Moscow is notorious, so exercise caution when crossing roads. Do not take unlicensed taxis; book in advance or take public transport, which is widespread and perfectly safe. If you encounter any problems, look for the special tourist police who can help you. For more information, read our guide about staying safe in Russia .

• DebbJ 0 contributions 4.0 of 5 bubbles Great way to get oriented to Moscow We started our Moscow experience with the hop on hop off. It was a great way to get orientated to the city. The additional optional tours were also good, we did the Metro tour which I highly recommend, we also paid for the Kremlin tour. The hop on hop off has three different lines all included. Only fault was the bus was sometimes full and you had to wait for the next one which was about 15 minutes (in the cold). Read more Written January 6, 2020

• BeverleyT 0 contributions 1.0 of 5 bubbles Boat trip - TERRIBLE We got on the bus, but couldn’t buy a 1 day ticket. They suggested we do the 1 hour boat trip and said they would drop us to the dock. 1) they dropped us in the wrong place 2) they were lost because of the marathon Then the boat, after we finally found it: 1) stinking fumes, actually gagging 2) no commentary, in fact, no interaction unless you begged 3) offered us 2 for 1 icecreams as they had melted and refrozen as the fridge gets turned off at night Honestly, we enjoyed the afternoon in the boat but spent all of it laughing at just how awful it was!!! The worst thing in Moscow! Read more Written August 18, 2019
• niruDurbs 0 contributions 3.0 of 5 bubbles Not the best value for the price The ticket is quite expensive and covers three different routes in a 24 hour period. The red route is quite exciting and takes about an hour. The bus comes every 10 to 15 minutes. However the other two routes take about two hours each and buses come every 30 to 40 minute period. If the bus is full then you have to wait at the stop for the next bus. So personally I feel that not much can be seen this way. I definitely was not impressed. However it must be noted that one can learn a lot about the history of Moscow Read more Written July 3, 2019
• IrishCueTravel 0 contributions 1.0 of 5 bubbles SLO Motion Not all their fault , but if you plan on trying this Attraction be patient! Traffic is a big problem first and foremost. But to add additional unnecessary delays; the bus stops at each site for 15 minutes at a time or More ! I gave up half way through ( 45 minutes) ; and walked back to the starting point in 10 minutes!

• michael g 0 contributions 1.0 of 5 bubbles Worst hop on/hop off EVER Waited for 40 minutes in the cold rain for a bus that never came... unacceptable. Traffic is so bad that when on a bus the previos day it was barely moving. My advice-get a subway pass and a good travel guide book and do sightseeing on your own! Read more Written October 24, 2018
• Rebecca J 0 contributions 3.0 of 5 bubbles Boat element was excellent We purchased a ticket online for the boat and bus for 2 days. The boat element was wonderful, we saw some amazing parts of Moscow along the river side. The bus element was very disappointing as it only started at 10am and was finished by 6:30pm. It was extremely warm when we were there and it would have been great to do the tour in the cool of the day. There was also no air conditioning in the down stairs part of the bus. They also turned away passengers at one of the stops as the bus was full and there was not another bus for 40 minutes. Read more Written September 26, 2018

• Peter F 0 contributions 3.0 of 5 bubbles Two Routes There is a short red route which depending on the traffic takes about an hour. The route is generally around the Red Square area. The ear phones were small and sometimes the commentary did not link up with the sites you were seeing. The green bus takes you on a longer route and ours took two and a half hours due to the heavy traffic. I would not recommend this trip unless it is raining or you want to fill in time. The sights we saw were nothing outstanding with plenty of time at certain stops for photos. Also the driver stop for a bite to eat at one stop. Read more Written July 30, 2018

The girl on the picture-light blue bag-ask for 100 Rubles for show her the QR Code while I had the Booking and PIN number cause she must see the vessel name-Didn’t say nothing and after she said board any vessel. I suggest take the trip and pay on site, avoid fake internet pages, there are many other services with a lot of entertainment, don’t take this ones. Read more Written July 14, 2018
• Kathrynowl91 0 contributions 3.0 of 5 bubbles Good way to see some sites We usually do these tours when we travel. They get you round and you see the sight . The traffic is quite heavy so it is a bit slow but there is not a lot they can do about it. We only did the red route. Just a note people don’t queue here when the bus comes it’s a bit of a free for all. Read more Written July 13, 2018
• Daniyal91 0 contributions 3.0 of 5 bubbles Was Ok.! Started our tour of moscow from here, We had got the 2 Day Pass with the boat ride. The route and the map was good but not well managed. The bus didn't stop at many points. Were were unaware a couple of times at what point we were and missed them. Headphones and maps were provided. Would recommend one should check out the route map before going and decide which places to stop in advance, this way one can manage and enjoy the tour more and us it more effectively.! The boat ride was Ok, a little crowded. No guide provided, just a boat ride with restaurant service Read more Written July 12, 2018
• WilliamDyer 0 contributions 1.0 of 5 bubbles Poor service on boat and too many waiting times on buses For the price, you should expect at minimum English speaking tour guides with decent experience, but at least in my case that did not happen both in buses and boats. And in the boat even tough we were 90% English speaking tourist at least, the tour guide spoke 95% of the time in Russia, and only 3 sentences in English, I really counted how many times she spoke in English. And at the end she asks us if we have any questions? Of course I told her I couldn’t ask her anything since I didn’t understand 95% of what she was saying. The boat tour is not worth it, just take the bus that would be my advice. Second minus is the waiting times, in the boat they made us wait an hour before it departed, and in many stops with the buses waiting times of 20-30 minutes. I actually think I lost that day around 2 hours doing nothing. Be careful. Read more Written July 10, 2018

Paul McCartney's Iconic Tour Bus To Go Up For Auction, Expected To Sell For Over $200,000

• Paul McCartney is auctioning off his iconic Wings tour bus from 1972, expected to sell for over $200k.
• The tour bus was a family affair, with Paul, Linda, and their three kids traveling together during the tour.
• Paul McCartney's band Wings was a pivotal moment in his career post-The Beatles, but his family was always his priority.

A lucky fan might get the chance to buy a piece of music history. Paul McCartney has decided to put one of his tour buses up for auction, and it's a very special one. While obviously his most famous band is The Beatles , just years after they broke up, he and Linda McCartney put together another hugely successful group: Paul McCartney & Wings . This band was one of the most important groups of the '70s and meant a lot to his solo career.

Paul McCartney Reveals How He Almost Changed The Words One Of 'The Beatles' Most Iconic Song

Now, he's parting ways with the psychedelic tour bus that took his band and his family all over Europe during their first big tour in 1972. The auction of the iconic bus is expected to sell for a staggering amount of money. The auction starts in just five days.

Paul McCartney's Iconic Wings Tour Bus Expected To Sell For Over $200 Thousand

From April 22 to 29, the double-decker tour bus that took Paul McCartney's band Wings all over Europe in 1972 will be up for auction and is expected to reach between £150,000 and £200,000 , with the higher end being almost $250 thousand .

The bus has been kept in almost perfect period condition, and pre-bids are already open for eager fans who want to get ahead. The double-decker has been restored, with the art on it, a clear homage to the iconic Yellow Submarine aesthetic, looking as impeccable as it did back in 1972 .

This tour was a very important one for Paul McCartney, as it was the first big tour of his new band after the painfully public breakup of The Beatles . The band had been working hard for a year prior, establishing themselves playing small shows at English universities, but this was the first time they would be playing big venues, something McCartney hadn't done since The Beatles stopped touring back in 1966.

He had put out a couple of solo albums before Wings , which he wrote with his wife Linda McCartney, and since he wanted her to play with him on Wings as well, he taught her to play piano and asked her to join his new band.

The McCartney Family Lived On That Bus During The Tour

A very well-known fact about Paul and Linda McCartney is that, during their marriage, they never spent a night apart from each other ( except when Paul was arrested in Japan, but that's another story ). The couple were very family-oriented, and while they loved making music together, their children always took priority.

So, in 1972, despite only going on tour for a month and a half, they made sure the tour bus was kid-friendly, as they took their three daughters, Heather, Mary, and Stella McCartney with them, something they repeated on every tour while the kids were little .

Paul McCartney's Son James Louis Is Also A Musician, But Has Different Views When It Comes To His Personal Life

"Our main reason was, we worried about leaving the kids at home and then getting a nanny or somebody ringing up saying 'oh they’ve gone into hospital' or 'they’re very ill', and we’d be far away in Australia or something," Paul McCartney explained.

Bringing them on tour didn't mean they were neglectful, though. "When we decided to bring them along we tried to be very careful about the sensible stuff like their education. We did things like going to their school and asking the teachers what the class are going to be doing while we’re away, and then we had a tutor that came with us - the kids hated him! They did not like being told in the afternoon that it was 'school time!'. They’d protest: 'No, we wanna go to the beach!'" the Beatle recalled amused .

Paul McCartney and his kids now look back to that time fondly and have no regrets about sharing touring as a family.
