Hi —

My friend and I are planning to go to Europe for the first 3 weeks in August (an unavoidably short & rushed trip). We want to visit England, France, Switzerland, & Italy.

I just found a site on Busabout Europe http://www.busabout.com/ , which is a hop-on, hop-off sort of tour. It books accomodation for you and everything, but you still have freedom to do what you want. For a 21 day pass, it costs $499 Cdn. A 21 day Eurorail Youthpass is $499 US (which is roughly $750 Cdn).

Has anyone heard anything about Busabout? Have any suggestions or recommendations? Have ideas on pros & cons of Busabout vs. Eurorail pass?

Thanks,
Lian
