Europe Tours | Hop-On Hop-Off Tours One of the best decisions we made! We took the 3-day hop on-hop off tour and it turned out to be one of the best decisions we made as far as our Paris trip was concerned. We were able to cover most of the must see sights on board the bus...The routes were very comprehensive and we didn't have to take the public transport during our entire stay. There was a bus stop very near most of the sights so everything was convenient. We didn't have to wait very long for the next bus to arrive so we were able to maximize our time.Review of Paris Comprehensive Hop-On, Hop-Off Tour with optional Batobus River Cruise by Maria LR, Philippines Great Value for Money The Hop-On-Hop off bus took me to all the sights that I wanted to see in New York so I did not need to use any other form of transport. more reviews

Touring Trinidad’s Heritage Some Highlights of Trinidad’s Natural & Built Heritage In between Trinidad’s many modern buildings and ultra-contemporary… How Rail Passes Work by Rick Steves Europe Figuring out whether you need to buy a rail pass, and if so how to choo-choo-choose between your options, can seem more daunting than it really is. What's the difference between a rail pass and a train ticket? A rail pass is a train-ticket-size piece of paper that covers the cost of train travel in a certain country (or countries) for a certain number of days (usually for a number of days spread out across a wider window of time; a few passes cover travel over a span of continuous days or weeks). By contrast, individually bought tickets get you from Point A to Point B (we call them "point-to-point tickets" to differentiate them from rail passes). They may be open-date tickets, or for a certain train at a certain time. While rail passes have to be bought in advance of your trip, it's simplest to buy point-to-point tickets in train stations as you travel (though they're becoming easier to purchase online, which can be handy if you need to secure an advance reservation for a certain train).
