All good epics take time: Ben Hur, Gladiator, Star Wars. So does the Busabout Epic Adventure European tour – although how long it takes is up to you.
Travel from the bright lights of Paris to the beautiful Swiss cities Bern, Lucerne, and Lauterbrunnen, where you can see the mountains and waterfalls that are sure to be among your biggest ‘Wow’ moments on your Europe holiday. Make a quick photo-stop in tiny Liechtenstein, then enjoy Bavaria with some time in Munich, where the world’s oldest beer garden awaits.
Live La Dolce Vita in Italy – take that special someone on a gondola ride through Venice’s canals, or wander the ancient ruins in Rome and be awed by the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican. Pick a side between two old Tuscan rivals, Siena and Florence, before heading to Pisa for cheesy photos of the Tower. Get a workout as you walk between the five villages of the Cinque Terre, then relax in Nice and the French Riviera. Then it’s off to the crazy Catalan capital of Barcelona where you can get your fill of art and culture before filling up on paella in Valencia. Finish in the Spanish capital of Madrid with a museum, shopping centre, restaurant or nightclub to suit all tastes. Hop on and hop off the Busabout bus service.
