A bus tour is an easy and stress-free way to see Europe. You don't have to worry about directions, renting a car or driving on the "wrong" side of the street. Today's bus tours are not the "Twelve Cities in Twelve Days" tours of old. In additional to the general tours, you'll find tours that specialize in one region and in a particular interest or sport. 1. Splurge on a deluxe bus tour of Europe. A bus tour of Europe doesn't have to be a budget vacation. A number of companies, such as Travcoa, MaupinTour and Abercrombie & Kent, offer luxury experiences via motorcoach. Amenities include meals and special events at private homes and castles, well-appointed and plush coaches--with reclining seats, enroute movies and personal sound systems.
