3 days ago: Busabout is very organized, helpful, informative and professional. Every single tour guide I had was nothing short of amazing. Thought I was signing up for a bus to pick me up, but it ended up being so much more than I expected. Great information given before arriving at each stop, and great tours offered with a special busabout discount. Loved every minute of it!
10th August 2012: Myself and friends headed across to Ibiza after La Tomatina last year for one of the best weeks of our lives!
Dancing as the sun went down on a party boat off the coast of San Antonio, dressing up as animals and dancing in enclosures at an old abandoned zoo, seeing international Dj’s playing nightly at the biggest clubs in the world, drinking liters of Sangria, Tapas and stunning beaches …. Ibiza is something else.
It’s no lie, Ibiza can be expensive when you’re clubbing but our Busabout guide ‘coops’ took us to awesome local bars for happy hour specials and got us discounted tickets for any club we wanted, which was amazing.
Next stop was Mallorca and Menorca. Both islands were beautiful with plenty to do. We hit the beach most days and enjoyed the crystal clear waters which you can windsurf and snorkel. The shopping was also great, lots of cheap shoe shops … every girl’s worst nightmare when it’s already a mission to close your suitcase!!
Another highlight was the night we went to Cova d’en Xoroi in Menorca. This club is set into the side of a cliff overlooking the ocean, in the middle of nowhere.
It was no surprise that the Ibiza Island Hopper tour was just as amazing as all the other Busabout tours we did over our 5 months of travel in Europe. If you haven’t been to the Spanish Islands, GET THERE ASAP!!

Iberian Adventure review
25th August 2011: My next Busabout adventure started in the common room at MAD Hostel in Madrid, when our group all meet for the first time before embarking on Busabout Iberian Adventure!
If you’re looking for a week of amazing history, architecture, great tapas, flamenco dancing and Sangria then look no further you have found your perfect trip!
Our guide Marisa (Maria) passion of the Iberian is oozing from her pours, her infectious smile beams from her like one of those solar water heating things on the side of the road, as she would let us know the history of the region as we make our way to any of our destinations.
What is particularly great about this trip is the way the bus trips are broken up with our lunch day trips in areas like Cordoba, as we cover the KMs needed to make it around the south of Spain and Portugal!
Oh did I mention Portugal …. Look out Busabout is coming to Lagos! Make no mistake, while the place is full of beautiful beaches and buildings, we are here to party. The pub crawl on the first night is a blast, commit the 9 deadly sins, join the bomb squad, share a fish bowl or just sit back and watch, this was one of the best nights out I have had in my life. Its here I pass on my thanks to our driver Paul (Pablo) for introducing me to Portuguese hospitality. This is where the new Busabout family really bonded! The next morning after your Portuguese breakfast half the group broke off for an optional kayaking trip, exploring the local grottos and coast line, or just relax on the beach.
The next day is the biggest day of them all, Marisa could hardly contain herself as she explains to the family that we would be going to 3 countries and 2 continents in a day, as we make our was to the beautiful wee surf town of Tariffa. Its here we jumped the ferry to Morocco. Local foods, markets and camel rides, this day was such a great taste of Moroccan culture.
Next stop Granada! Tapas crawl anyone? I didn’t have any expectations of this city and fell in love. Tapas, Sangria, Flamenco dancing, the Alhambra palace and Turkish baths. This could be one of my favourite places in the world.
Then it’s back to Madrid, where our latest Busabout family part ways! I don’t know if I have ever been on a tour where the group had bonded as well as this one had, it was really sad to say goodbye to my new family. The bonding of the group was in large parts thanks to Marisa and Paul. They really worked well as a team to see the group get together. All the hostels we stayed at were clean and comfortable, and the Busabout Bus was beautiful and roomy.
This is a great way of seeing the parts of Spain we normally only ever hear about in magazines and travel books. 7 days well spent and you certainly get your money worth! Get amongst it!

6 Day Balkan Trek review
25th August 2011: My first trip was with Busabout Go East on the Balkan Trek, what an amazing 6 days. So many places that I never thought I would see anything like in my life.
After an awesome Toga party in Corfu, we got to drive though some of the most freaky roads you have ever seen in Albania (thank god Angelo was such an amazing driver) The scenery out the bus window was nothing short of spectacular, and for a boy from the east, the sunset over the beach in Durras was one of the most beautiful things I have ever witnessed.
I certainly was not expecting what we got in Montenegro, so much fun on the beach, it was like a night club in the day. The food and drink was cheap and delicious, and the night life was fantastic.
With one last day stop in Dubrovnik Croatia we made the final leg of our trip to Split for one last night out with our new Busabout family!
The biggest surprise for me was the accommodation, I felt absolutely spoiled, not what I am used to as a backpacker!
This trip is a great way of connecting from a Greek Island hopper to a Croatia sailing adventure. If you’re looking to experience different culture, great food, cheap drinking, amazing scenery and making great new friends this trip is for you!
What made this trip particularly special, was that it was guided by the charismatic Croatian Matej. Matej wasn’t just a guide but a great mate, you could tell he was really enjoying himself when the group was, and his local knowledge and experience really shows.
Busabout have got this trip down, and it is great value for money. Jump on!

9 Day Classic Rhapsody Trek review
28th July 2011: We started our trip in Prague and drove out of the city to Kutna Hora where we saw the spooky church decorated with human bones! Our first stop was Ollamauc where we had an orientation walk, traditional czech dinner and a great night out drinking in an airplane. Good times.
The next part of our trip went through poland, hungary, slovakia, and croatia. Highlights were Krakow and Budapest (good times in Diva).
We had an amazing time and that was in no small part as a result of team Drew and Lukas. Well done guys!!!
Good times, good food, good sightseeing and would do it all again.
Good job busabout!!

Ottoman Trek review
22nd July 2011: This tour was amazing. Our tour guide, Matej, was very knowledgable and entertaining. The countries we went through were so friendly and beautiful, especially Bosnia and Turkey.
If anyone does this tour, please try all the food and get out and go for a walk around in your spare time. Facebook can wait. We found a few hills to climb to get a better view of the cities, such as Sarajevo and Plovdiv.
Tips for anyone taking this tour.
- Make sure you take a book or two to read on the bus and a small pillow.
- If you know any games to play on the bus, tell the rest of the group and play!
- Eastern Europe's staple diet is meat so vegetarians, let your tour guide know when you are on the bus. He will look after you.
- Finally, have FUN!!!! dont be afraid to experience what these countries have to offer, as you never know what you may come across.

Greek Island Flexi-Hopper review
8th July 2011: Just got back from the Greek Islands tour which exceeded all my expectations. As we spent a few extra days in Mykonos and Ios we had 4 different tour guides over the entire trip. Without these amazing guides the trip would of not been the same. All the activities that were recommended by Busabout were worth while especially the boat trip in Paros and the Bucketlist in Santorini.
Already missing the Islands and the amazing friends I have made.
I would definitely recommend the greek islands for anyone where additional days in Santorini and Ios is a necessity. Already looking forward to booking with Busabout in the near future.

Croatia Sailing - Ensuite - Above Deck review
26th June 2011: Just got back from the cruise. AMMMMMMMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZZZZZZZZZZZZIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGG!!! Sorry, I couldn't summarise it any other way. From the moment of stepping on to the Viktorija meeting special Kay {our guide}, until the goodbye hugs on the last morning, it was a pleasure. Good people, good food and the swimstops were out of this world. There was nothing better than waking up with the ship already cruising and then pulling into a cove with crystal clear water. If there was any hint of a hangover, it would be gone as soon as you made the plunge off the top deck! The boat crew and Special Kay from busabout were first class and kept everyone entertained and well fed and the beautiful coastline of Croatia was almost hypnotic. I hope that next time I come to Europe that I will be able to do it again.
