Recently, bus tours are becoming increasingly popular, as they give tourists the opportunity during a trip to visit the several States or travel to different regions of one country in a relatively low cost.

There are two basic types of bus fares. First, when the tourists spend the night right on the bus. This is the most extreme variant, but also the cheapest. If you are ready to sleep sitting up, in the summer heat to dispense a few days without a shower and not be able to retire, to bring myself up, then you can take a chance. 

The second version of the tour includes an overnight stay in comfortable conditions in hotels, campsites and cabins on the ferries. He, of course, preferable for those who are accustomed to rest with some comfort.

When you tour in the first place ask the bus. Most branded tourist buses equipped with air conditioning, toilet, kettle and mini-kitchen, TV, have a seat with adjustable backrest and headrest. Be sure to ask, has its own travel agency buses or rented. Note that the rented bus may be less comfortable seats and a smaller set of equipment than you were promised.

It is desirable to choose the tour, which previously were reserved for the tourists places in the bus. Sometimes travel agencies provide a small surcharge for the best seats. If the tourists can not be booked specific seats on the bus, disputes over them can spoil the whole vacation. True, this option may be used drawing before landing. Of course, in this case, the place can be completely wrong, which was calculated, but the mutual resentments among the tourists will be gone.

When traveling in a bus the exact time of arrival at the hotel and excursions to places difficult to determine: possible traffic jams on the roads, delays at border crossings, difficult weather conditions, etc. Typically, all this is taken into account when scheduling trips. Most travel agencies adhere to unwritten rules (some even lay it in the contract), that after the appointed time of tourists waiting for stragglers not more than 15 minutes. Those who do not meet that deadline, it is necessary to catch up with the group itself, and this \u0026quot;fun\u0026quot; may not be cheap.

Chaperones guide-interpreter always has a mobile phone. Be sure to write down its number. In every journey can happen if get lost in an unfamiliar place, or otherwise, are late at the appointed time to board the bus, please call. Will help you navigate tell us how it is more convenient to get to the landing site, or tell where to wait for a bus that will take you on the road.

Selecting things in the way, if you long to be on the bus has its own peculiarities. As a general rule, far to carry a suitcase with the things you do not have, but better if it is on wheels. It is desirable to have a separate bag that you\u0026#39;ll take into the salon. Clothing should be such that in it a long time, it was convenient to sit. No place to change clothes in the bus, if you\u0026#39;re not a supporter of an impromptu striptease. Picking out clothes for the trip, be aware that washing is something you can at the hotel, but hardly have time to dry.

Footwear is desirable to have a convenient, because the trips may have to walk a lot. In Europe, in some places the streets are paved with cobblestones, walk on them at the heels and twisted his leg can not please everyone. Even the summer weather, especially in coastal areas, to change, so may be useful windbreaker and an umbrella.

For a long stay in the bus was more comfortable, get in the way inflatable headrest and a small massage pad on the seat. Do not interfere, and a small thermos, as a special kettle on the bus can be used only at bus stops, and the capacity it is usually small. Coffee and tea is better to take the tea bags and sugar - refined sugar. Mineral water advisable to buy in small plastic bottles are easier to drink on the move.

Chocolate and chocolate candy in the road are undesirable, can soil oneself, but \u0026quot;sosanchiki, peeled nuts and dried fruits can help pass the time. Cookies, biscuits, crackers, pastries worth buying such that when used leaves little crumbs. For a rare exception of refrigerators in buses no. If you want to take with sausage or smoked, it is advisable to buy cuts in vacuum packages. Those who like cheese and sausages with a strong characteristic smell better on a trip to refrain from such gastronomic predilections.

It is desirable to bring disposable utensils, unbreakable cups, a couple of packages of alcohol wipes moist and individual first aid kit. If you are prone to motion sickness, be sure to buy the appropriate medicine and carefully read the annotation to it. Usually, motion sickness pills are not taken when the bus begins to zigzag up a mountain serpentines, but at least 20-30 minutes before him.

During long journeys by bus makes stops 4-5 hours. Toilets, which are the buses, usually used only in emergencies. When planning the budget for the trip, note that the toilets in the ground bus stops may apply.

Budget tourist - especially individual, if we follow the principle that a lot of money does not happen. But it is worth considering some subtleties. It\u0026#39;s wise to buy the currency of the countries through which you pass or on the territory of which will be a large part of the tour. Remember that even in major European cities to find the evening exchanger - a serious problem, but in small towns it is often unsolvable. Advance learn from the accompanying guide, where the exchange rate is better to change the currency in which stores and what exactly is buying. How to take a taxi-free when you buy, I have already told one of the articles.

In drawing up the budget, consider how you will eat. The tour price usually includes bed and breakfast in hotels, at least - breakfast and dinner, lunch is usually at his own expense. If you eat normally, and even treat yourself to local delicacies, is less than 50-70 euros per day to meet difficult. Provide money for tickets to museums and tours, which are seen in the tour cost is not included. Often these trips are far more interesting than those that pre-paid.

There may be unforeseen expenses. If you are accustomed to scatter anywhere or leave cigarette butts on park benches are empty bottles of mineral water, you can run into a fine. In refrigeration rooms can be a solid set of drinks and snacks. Before you use them, ask the price, it may be several times higher than similar products in the adjacent to the hotel shop.

Do not hesitate to ask detailed guide accompanying the group all that is unclear or is even the slightest doubt. It is better to spend a few minutes to ask questions, than a few hours, getting lost in an unfamiliar city or hitting in the uncomfortable situation due to ignorance of local conditions and customs. Think in advance how to act in case of loss of documents and money.

No wonder they say: \u0026quot;Who warned is forearmed.\u0026quot; Advance by providing various aspects of a future trip, you can make it more enjoyable and less tiring.

Have a nice holiday to you and vivid impressions of familiarity with new cities and countries.
