Hello,
thought I'd re-post the final details here:-
I can confirm that the European Magic Bus Tour is now confirmed open :)
The details are:-
- £430 for 6 nights from Mainz to Heidelberg
- Single person supplement is £19
- You get your own gig tickets
- Rendezvous would be either at the airport (see below) or the first gig
I had a look at the Ryanair site and flights are currently £40 return Stanstead to Hahn. This is how I will be travelling and sorting out the Bus and I am happy for you to tag along.
All I need from you is to PM me your name, email, and phone details and we will contact you to do the rest.
I've kept the original post below for reference:-
I am considering doing one of these again and wanted to gauge the interest out there as they are such good fun and it is a good way to bring people together who perhaps would not have met otherwise. It is open to everyone and especially to those who maybe feel shy or don't know anyone to go travelling with or just need that final push.
What I have in mind is to do a European tour and then a UK tour, for both you'd need to make your own way to the first gig and back from the last, you'd have to buy your own gig tickets too. We would take care of all the travel and accommodation in between. As with previous tours, prices would be based on sharing with a single suppliment applicable. You would be able to pay in instalments if required.
Here is a linky (https://www.facebook.com/groups/116777985097968/?fref=ts) with pictures to other tours we've been done, it's a public group and I think it should be accessible to all, if you have a problem send a request and I'll add you.
Give me a couple of weeks to get some prices and then I can sort out a package. What I would like to request from you at this stage is some feedback, suggestions, and any questions you may have. Hopefully there is sufficient interest out there in order to make this happen.
Cheers

I am possibly interested. I am doing the tour but the only problem is i can sleep anywhere for one nights. I am sleeping in hostels and somehow i don't think that others are so comfortable with more primitive accommodations.
I would like to go on the bus though. I really would like to do this but don't know if the wallet would especially since hotels penalize solo travelers. :(

Hello Amanda,
thanks for your reply the prices would be for sharing and we do try hard to make it as cheap as possible without using flea pits, we do have standards you know :). Not wanting to come over all hard sales pitch, what we offer is convenience and door to door between gigs; look on it another way, it is somewhere to sit with your hangover, make new friends, or chat with old, whilst we transport you to your next gig.
Cheers

As someone on the last bus tour, i can say that it is a wonderful experience. In 2013, it was a nice group of people.
I saw historical sites, was introduced to good indian and Chinese food. I ran after wild cows and had many laughs.
I recommend that if you can do it, you should!
I will try my very best to do it again.

Hello, just a quick update, I have got the Germany and Swiss hotel prices sorted, just now looking at bus options. Am also looking at UK hotels which are not so quick to come back.
Cheers

Cheers Jack
I am very excited about this. Look forward to the next installment.

PM sent ref the European leg ;)

Here we go Jack! Spanish delegation ready.

Hello, sorry for the delay, a short update.
Things have been very busy work wise and also it is peak season so responses have been not as quick as hoped. I have a couple of things still to resolve work-wise but I now know the price and itinerary for the European leg which I’ll post below.
It’s going to be about £430 for 6 nights accommodation and travel with a single room supplement of £19 per night. The meet would be at the first gig in Mainz and end point would be returning the bus at Frankfurt airport so a lift there would be possible.
Like I said I’ve still got a couple of things to sort out in the next couple of days but I don’t think it is going to change much.
Let me know what you think.
Cheers

Thanx for the job Jack. Spanish multi representation of two will be there. ;)
The experience in 2013 was fantastic. Good hotels, good bus... no so good people.... ::)
Hope to see you all there again.
Jack you will drive in the right direction? ;D
-
The last one was great. Sadly,I just can't spend that much now and it's even more due to the fact that hotels penalize solo travelers. Have fun. I will still see you and others at the gigs.
-
Thanks Nacho, it will be me driving on the right, one day the rest of Europe will come to their senses and come over to the left side.
Amanda I will contact you to see if there is any way we can make it work for you as it would be a shame otherwise.
Cheers

jc... this thing still gonna take in the UK and, therefore, Chester? I live half an hour away from Chester by train (so I won't be joining you unless it's at the gig) but if you need any research done as to hotels and the like, I'll do what I can. Let me know, mate. ;)
-
JC thats a good deal, count me in please.
-
Thanks for the offer of help MR, not sure about the UK leg yet but will certainly reach out for assistance if required. Thanks for registering your interest Mark, we'll be in touch.
Cheers
