What is the typical length of bus tours leaving from London?

Bus tours from London run anywhere from 9 to 45 days. Most people choose either a 9-10 day trip covering Britain and Ireland's highlights, 16 days exploring key European cities, or up to 45 days to see everything Europe has to offer. On the 16-day European Discovery tour, you'll spend time in Paris, Amsterdam, Munich and Rome, staying at places like the Tulip Inn Riverside in Amsterdam and Ibis hotels in Paris.

Which places do most London bus tours visit?

Most tours take you to Paris, Amsterdam, Munich, Venice, Rome and Florence. You'll get to see famous spots like the Eiffel Tower, Colosseum and Venice's canals. One TourRadar traveler told us these cities give you a perfect taste of both historic and modern Europe.

How long will I spend on the bus each day?

You'll usually be on the road between 3-6 hours when traveling between cities. Getting from London to Paris takes about 7 hours including the ferry ride, while Amsterdam to Berlin is roughly 6 hours. The buses are comfortable, and you'll stop every 2-3 hours at rest areas to stretch your legs and grab snacks.

What meals come with London bus tours?

Your tour usually covers breakfast every day plus some dinners during the week - typically 3-6. For example, if you take the European Discovery tour, you get 11 breakfasts and 3 dinners. Longer trips like the Ultimate European include 44 breakfasts and 15 dinners. If you have special dietary needs like vegetarian, vegan or halal food, restaurants near starting points like the Strand Palace Hotel in London can accommodate you.

Where do London bus tours go first?

Most tours head to either Paris or Amsterdam first, going through Dover and Calais. You'll get to see the White Cliffs of Dover before taking the ferry across to mainland Europe. Depending on your tour, you might stay at places like the Ibis la Defense in Paris or the Hampton by Hilton in Amsterdam - both are well-located for exploring the cities. As one TourRadar traveler said: "The transition from London through Dover and into mainland Europe was seamless, and seeing the White Cliffs was a perfect start to our continental adventure."

Where do London bus tours usually stop overnight?

You'll often spend nights in Paris at the Ibis la Defense, Amsterdam at the Hampton by Hilton, Venice at the Novotel Mestre Castellana, and in the Swiss Alps at the Alpenrose Hotel & Gardens. These hotels make it easy to explore each city and the surrounding areas. One TourRadar traveler mentioned: "The hotels were well-located for exploring each city, especially in Paris where we could easily access all the main attractions."
