I will be traveling in Europe next summer. I have been told Busabout is great for backpackers and hosteling. If anyone has used Busabout could you please let me know what is good or not so good about it. I want to meet lots of fellow backpackers and I like the privately run hostels. I'm looking for a great travel experience.

I have heard that its really good and I think I might check it out myself.

I have no personal experience with it, but I've read several comments from those who did it and liked it. I think you can probably find people who have used it or comments on the Transportation forums on www.eurotrip.com

Did it and loved it.

Our son did Busabout on his first solo trip to Europe a few years ago; he was 22 and loved the experience. If you do a text search by typing "Busabout" into the text search box at the top of your page, some related messages should turn up from the archives.

You should check the message boards on www.eurotrip.com. It's oriented towards young people travelling on the cheap, and there have been many threads about Busabout.

I've also heard a few things about it but have not used busabout. I would also like more info on it from anyone who has used it. Might try it if I can find some recommendations.<BR><BR>Tracey
