"Hilarious observations about European travel" -- Travel & Leisure

"Takes readers along for a jolly ride" -- USA Today

Book Description

In this rollicking, absurd ride, Brian Thacker, bus-tour leader extraordinaire, confesses all as he reveals the best (and worst) of more than 20 trips as a tour leader though Europe. He tells how he fed passengers horsemeat spag bog, hamburgers made from breakfast cereal, and roosters' testicles. He also introduces people to the world of scams, broken rules, terrible blunders, promiscuous locals, and inevitable clashes of cultures when a busful of tourists take on Europe on a four-week tour. Other stories include how he left a passenger standing by the side of a motorway in France for three hours in his underwear clutching a purple toothbrush, and how he lost his driver, his cook, his bus, 10 brightly colored canal bikes, a large church, and eventually his patience. Countries dissected include Belgium, Holland, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, Spain, and France.

This review is from: Rule No. 5: No Sex on the Bus: Confessions of a Tour Leader (Paperback)

The book was listed as a used item, and when I received it, the book was aboslutely perfect and never been read.

It was mailed in a timely fashion, and arrived before the date that it was guaranteed by.

this was great
i've never been on a contiki or topdeck tour but this is the insiders guide to the shenanigans that went on during Thacker's tour of duty
if you've been to Europe this book will tell you about what you missed.......on the bus/in tents/in clubs with the 18-35 year old tour bus crowd.......and make you want to book Rick Steves if you do decide to tour unless you want some action

This review is from: Rule No. 5: No Sex on the Bus: Confessions of a Tour Leader (Paperback)

If you like crude humor this book is for you. After reading a dozen pages, the only thing I got out of it was I was never going to use his tour company if I ever go to Europe.
