    We were very well looked after by Afro Honey. Our guide was always on time and very knowledgeable about our tours. Our trip was made better by guide Griffith who took us on a safari at Stanley Livingstone Park.

    This was our third tour while in edinburgh and Helen was by far the best guide ever. She was attentive to everyone, always patient and helpful and seemed to love sharing her love of scotland. Awesome experience.

    Highly recommended! Such a wonderful introduction to the history and culture of Jordan. Ali, our guide, was very knowledgeable and helpful. If you can spend more time in Jordan, definitely do it, but the two day option with the Bedoin Camp accommodations is a wonderful option if you only have three days. We spent some time in Jerash, enough to get a history lesson and then explore a bit. Then a brief visit to the Citadel in Amman. Beautiful views of the city, and interesting background about its history and people. The Bedoin camp is definitely a highlight - Upon arrival at the Bedoin camp, we were served a lovely meal, and then enjoyed chai tea around the fire. Don't worry - no caffeine. The hillside behind the camp was lit with candle-style lights - the scene is beautiful. One of the men shared a hookah pipe with us as well, which added to the experience. Petra, however, is the star attraction, and it does not disappoint. One could spend three days exploring, but the four hours we had were enough to get a guided walk with Ali to the iconic treasury building, and time enough for those who wanted to hike or ride a donkey to the monastery. Just breathtaking. Some comments that will answer questions I had before I went: First, the border crossing fees - the Israeli exit fee can be paid by credit card, and there is an ATM on the Israeli side - use it before you cross to Jordan, but don't change your shekels or dollars to Jordanian Dinar until you get to the Jordan side. This will avoid a money changing tax on the Israeli side and get you more for your money. The Jordanian side is cash only. Also, the bathrooms on the Israeli side are better. The duty free shop on the Israeli side had good prices. I assume the other side did too, but did not go through the shop on the Jordanian side. Duty free shop is the last chance to get alcohol for those who care. It is very difficult and expensive to get alcohol in Jordan, if you want it. When you change your money, be sure to get a bunch of singles for tipping. Also be sure to exchange enough money to cover the border fees, tipping for the guide and driver and some for souvenirs. Bathrooms in Jordan before you reach the camp, each have an attendant and it is polite to tip a dinar. Lunch was provided at a nice restaurant with a buffet, but drinks you pay for separately 1-3 dinar depending on what you get to drink juice, bottled water or soft drinks. The juices came with ice. If you tend to be sensitive to local water, request without ice. It is also nice to tip a little bit at the restaurant for the servers. It is a good idea to bring a small packet of tissues in case you need to use a bathroom that does not have an attendant, which means no toilet paper or soap. At the Bedoin camp, the bathrooms are clean, bright and well stocked with soap and toilet paper. There is both electricity and wifi until slightly after midnight when they turn off the generator.

What our customers ask about 3 Day Coach / Bus Tours & Trips

  • When is the best time to take a 3-day bus tour?

    For Scotland and Ireland tours, summer (June through August) brings ideal weather around 60-70°F (15-21°C) and lots of daylight for exploring. If you're heading to New Zealand, plan for December to February when temperatures are a pleasant 68-77°F (20-25°C). Want to skip the crowds and save money? Try April-May or September-October - you'll still get good breathing room at popular spots like the Cliffs of Moher or Hobbiton.

  • How should I prepare for changing weather?

    Think layers and bring a good rain jacket. In Scotland, especially along the North Coast 500, the weather likes to keep you guessing. Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way usually stays between 50-65°F (10-18°C), but rain showers pop up regularly. One of our travelers put it well: "Bring waterproof gear and warm layers even in summer - we experienced all four seasons in one day while touring the Isle of Skye, staying at places like the Seaview Heights guesthouse."

  • What kind of places will I stay at?

    You'll spend your two nights in comfortable 3-4 star hotels, guesthouses, or B&Bs. Places like the Western Hotel in Galway, Seaview Heights in Dingle, and Ennislare House in Bangor are typical examples. Your room will have its own bathroom, and breakfast is included. One of our travelers noted about their Rotorua stay: "The hotel was centrally located with comfortable rooms, though some properties like the Copthorne Hotel could use updating in certain areas."

  • What does a typical day look like?

    Most days start around 7:30 or 8:00 AM and wrap up between 6:00 and 7:00 PM. Take the Wild Ireland Express tour - you'll visit two or three main spots each day, like the Cliffs of Moher and Killarney National Park, with breaks for lunch and photos. One of our travelers said: "The pacing was perfect - we had enough time at each stop to really explore without feeling rushed."

  • What can I expect on the bus?

    The buses are modern and comfortable, with good air conditioning and big windows for sightseeing. In Ireland, you'll ride in Mercedes mini-coaches with good sound systems. New Zealand tours use similar buses with commentary systems. Most have USB charging spots and Wi-Fi - like the ones Rabbie's Tours uses in Scotland. This makes longer rides between places like Auckland to Rotorua or Dublin to Galway much more pleasant.

  • How many people will be on my tour?

    Most tours keep it cozy with 16 to 30 people. In Scotland, tours like the North Coast 500 use 16-seat Mercedes mini-coaches, and Ireland tours stick to similar-sized vehicles. Hotels like the Copthorne in Rotorua and Western Hotel in Galway are used to hosting these group sizes. As one traveler told us: "The small group size made the experience more personal and enjoyable."
