Starting from Istanbul in Turkey, this 56 day road trip across Europe will take the travelers through the Balkans, eastern Europe, Scandinavia and western Europe, ending at London, UK. Bookings are open for up to 30 passengers, and the cost of the package is $24,300. The package includes a daily breakfast, along with 30 lunches and dinners, and all hotel stays (on a twin sharing basis).
Bus to London is scheduled to leave Istanbul on August 7 and arrive in London on October 1.
For those who fear that such a long bus journey may be uncomfortable, the vehicle is being described as a "special luxury bus designed for comfortable long-distance travel." The passengers aboard this bus can relax on recliner adjustable seats with ample legroom and avail themselves of AUX and USB ports, a foldable tray and bottle and cup holders. Each passenger can bring upto two full-size suitcases with them.
“Every single route in each country has been vetted to ensure that the journey is seamless so participants on Bus to London can get on board with the knowledge and confidence that they are in safe hands,” says Tushar Agarwal, co-founder of Adventures Overland. “Providing a niche and classy experience in a secure environment is our top priority. We take charge of documentation, paperwork, visas and permits to ensure that the entire focus of participants is on experiencing the journey.”
Adventures Overland was founded by entrepreneurs Tushar Agarwal and Sanjay Madan in 2012 and has built its credibility by organizing various India-to-London expeditions, in which travelers bring their own cars and travel in a convoy, as well as journeys across Iceland and Russia, before introducing their first cross continental bus journey.
