I heard that the tour bus does not have a washroom. If not, how often does the bus stop?

Coach drivers in Europe have to stop every two hours (give or take a few minutes) so don't worry about no mobile toilet.

The tour coach does have a toilet but the coach driver does not want you to use it because he is responsible for cleaning it

There are sites where the toilets have be emptied and these are not exactly close together hence the reluctance to encourage passengers to use it.

And the toilets on the coaches are not exactly the most comfortable in the world. I prefer the frequent stopping at the autogrills.

I did the European Highlights tour in August Sept last year, If anyone would like to know more info then email me.

The tour is good, although it runs at a fast pace which most of the tours of insight/trafalgar all do, I did a lot of research b4 picking out this tour,
The only drawback for this tour and all others maybe is that tour directors push you for getting into their designed programs which are called sub tours , these are customer paid programs which they force you to take, If you dont want to do them they drop you off at your hotel which is usually far off from the site or suburbs,being new in a new country they take the advantage of these issues.

For eg : they charged 60 Euros for eiffel tower tour , which they covered in 30 mins for others and took to the 2nd floor,
I did it myself on my own, went to the top floor paid only 10 euros and stayed as much as i liked.

The buses have washrooms although the first thing they say you is use only in emergency purposes which is ok, some people on my tour used it since every time you would use a restroom in Europe you would pay 30 cents for it so ...

email me for addtl Info
