Traveling by bus is a matter of opinion. For today's Traveling Tip, we recommend booking one bus tour for a day trip when you want to get the most out of your traveling experience. 8 days of travel...take one bus tourLast summer, we were in England. We researched and planned our days, and found that in order to save time and see more, one of our days would be best using a bus tour. We booked our tour for Windsor Castle, Roman Baths, and Stonehenge. Click below! It was COMPLETELY worth it To start, we want to be clear, the actual bus tour had it's moments. It was really disorganized getting buses to depart, our tour guide was hard to understand with the traveling, and the trip changed as we went. The bus was comfortable and the ride easy. When you're traveling on a budget, you learn to go with the flow, and it ended up being better. We traveled to Windsor, England first. (Where I was 40 years old and connected that Windsor, Canada was connected to Windsor, England. Sooo, there's that) We did the self-guided tour and had plenty of time to see what we needed. We also had the London Pass (highly recommend), which ended up getting us into the Castle before the rest of the tour group. With the extra time, we were able to be outside the walls when the Changing of the Guard parade took place. Don't worry.....we were ready for the change.
Bath was an incredible place of history. From those on the tour group, we were the only two to enter the Roman Baths. As both of us have been to Italy, it was striking to see Roman Architecture in the middle of the English countryside. We agreed it was a place to return too, as the the Baths were what we went for and took up our time. (Don't worry, the water was safe to drink!) Back on the bus and we were headed to Stonehenge. A World Heritage Site, the stones remain a mystery to this day. The tour made getting to the site easy, as we boarded a bus and drove past those walking out to the site. While we may not understand why they exists, the picture taking is epic. Another perk of the tour, our guide knew the best spots to get photos and encouraged us to capture the moments. Taking a bus tour in worth your time and investment. Side Tip: Remember cash on tours. In a time that no one carries cash, it goes a little farther to remember the people that go out of your way to make your trip enjoyable.
Traveling? Book the bus tour. It's worth the memories.
