how many hours will they spend on the bus traveling from one city to another each day?

On days that involve city-to-city travel, guests can expect to spend anywhere from 4 to 7 hours on the coach, including comfort stops, border crossings, and scenic detours.

The single supplement carries an additional cost of AUD 1,130.00 per person. With the Today's Deal promotion applied, the total tour price for a single room comes to AUD 5,175.50.

The crew were great and paid attention to details. They had easy going personalities. Too many optional tours that were costly as a whole. I realize we were free to choose but asking to choose on day 1 was bit overwhelming as you feel you don’t want to miss anything. However as trip progresses you realize the pace is too much but you’ve already paid so don’t want to skip. Options early in journey probably better while you still have energy. Something to consider in future.Show more

This was an overpriced bus ride. The bus is required to park at least a mile away from most of the cities on the tour. Then, the bus would drop us off at illegal places. ???? We didn't enter any of the buildings. The tour was a driveby,, the equivalent to Google maps. Don't waste your vacation time on this trip! If you want the Oberammergau play, book the 2 or 3 day tour package somewhere else.Show more

We went on Imperial Europe tour and It was absolutely brilliant Trafalgar Tour Director thought of everything and thru in little surprises at each location. After each evening meal returning back to our hotel the bus turned into a singing affair, as we were in the are of the sSound of Music.
