Guide Review - Eurohop Hop-on-Hop-off Bus Travel in Spain
Eurohop offers a flexible service which allows you to choose between two extended itineraries that take you around the best bits of Spain and Portugal. You can take one or both tours or select the elements that appeal to you most.
On each bus there is an English-speaking guide who will tell you what to expect in each city. With the bus starting in one city and passing through a second before ending in a third, a free tour of the middle city is thrown into the package where time permits (in Toledo, Cordoba, Salamanca and Zaragoza). This makes some routes, such as the Madrid-Toledo-Granada route, excellent value for money - travel from Madrid to Granada with a free tour of Toledo, all for less than the price of a train ticket.
The catch? The bus only departs from each city every two days and you can only travel clockwise around the route. But apart from that, you have complete freedom over when you travel. Your pass lasts the whole summer (unlike the rail passes, which restrict you to a short period of travel).
