Frequently Asked Questions
General Information
Do we have FREE TIME or do we have to stay with the group 24/7?
It is up to you!
Unlike the typical bus tour of Europe, BUZZ’S hotels are located directly in the center of the city, so you have the freedom to come and go as you like. You can stop in for a midday power nap or shower before hitting the nightclubs. There are NO curfews & NO Lockouts! You cannot beat the hotel locations!
We understand that each person has a different personality with likes and dislikes, so we run activities and explore each city every day from 8am to midnight, or later, so you can get the most out of your vacation and see what YOU want to see.
With BUZZ, you have freedom of choice-- join us on our tours of the city, or take the time on your own to visit your personal “MUST SEE” site or museum. If you're not interested in nightclubs or discos, ask BUZZ, and he will offer many alternatives, and might even take you on a night tour of the city.
IF YOU DEPART FROM THE SCHEDULED ITINERARY YOU ARE NO LONGER PART OF BUZZ'S ADVENTURE TOURS.
Can I go by myself or do I need a roommate?

How many people go on each tour?
We run every tour with a minimum of 10 persons, and a maximum of 250 persons, in 3 sub groups of 80+ persons each.

Be able to board subways and trains and have the ability to lift your luggage into the overhead racks. Yet another reason to pack light.
What type of luggage do we need?
Small suitcases with wheels are now very popular, and most of you already have one at home. You must be able to carry them up many stairs. Don’t worry-- you only carry your luggage when transferring to and from the train station and your lodging. A backpack or messenger bag, just like what you use at school, is perfect when you are exploring the sites of the city. Load it up with your water bottle, camera, and snacks, and go see the world.
Maximum luggage size is 24” tall x 18” wide and 10” deep. NO Exceptions!
