2 Things to Think About When Organising a Bus Tour
A bus tour can be a great way to explore a city or area of natural interest. Hiring a bus from a tour company will allow you to transport a large group of people at once from place to place and will also provide you with views of the city streets or local countryside as you drive along the road. Below is a guide to 2 things you should consider if you are planning to organise a bus tour.
The route you will take
When booking a bus tour, you will typically have two options when it comes to the route. You can sign up to one of a series of pre-planned routes which will cover different distances and visit different areas of interest, or you can plan your own route and ask the tour bus driver to follow the route you have designed. However, if you are thinking about planning your own route, you should check this route with the tour bus company during the booking process. Doing so will allow the tour bus company to check that it is possible for the bus to drive on your route and that it does not include any obstacles such as narrow roads or low bridges. It is also important to be aware that some tour bus companies will not allow you to design your own route.
Who will guide the tour
Once you have established the route you wish to take, you will then need to think about who will guide the tour. If you feel confident researching the areas of interest that you will be visiting, you may wish to act as your own tour guide. However, if you are unfamiliar with the area and do not feel confident researching and presenting a guided tour, you should ask for a professional tour guide to be supplied as part of your tour bus hire package. A tour guide may add an additional cost to the overall bill, but this cost is more than repaid by the guide's detailed local knowledge of the areas of interest you will be visiting. It is also likely that a tour guide will know some interesting stories and facts which would be impossible to find during your own research.
