If you think you're not a bus traveller, trust us: you will be after you read this. From the
country gardens of bonnie England to the marble-lined canals of Venice – and Lisbon's riotously coloured
bairros – we're rolling around Europe on the next generation of coach tours. e first one takes us to
Portugal and Spain, on a journey that defies one skeptic's expectations (p. 19). Next, we check out three
amazing specialty tours (p. 28), cover the pros and cons of four money-carrying options for travellers
(p. 30) and bust a few timeworn myths about bus travel (p. 34). In Italy, we learn how family-oriented
coach tours offer the trip of a lifetime – without the usual planning headaches (p. 33). Off we go!
