- E C1 contributionExcellent family vacation in Central Europe!We had a wonderful family trip in Central Europe for 2 weeks, and our group of 8 includes one senior in wheelchair. Directbus provided a spacious Sprinter minibus and smooth ride accommodating our customized itineraries, which gave us so much convenience and peace of mind and removed lots of logistics hassles along the way. Special thanks to Fero, as well as our drivers Vlado and Peter for their great service. Highly recommended to all!Visited October 2023Traveled with familyWritten November 6, 2023
- Russell H1 contributionVery pleased we used DirectbusWe booked a tour through southern Germany and Switzerland, and were very pleased with Directbus. Our driver Michal was the best! Very professional, very helpful and very accommodating when things did not quite go as planned (our fault, not his) or when we needed to make adjustments to our schedule. A travel agent suggested we use trains and public transportation for the trip, unaware of the services that Directbus offered. I am so glad we did not follow the travel agent's advice, and would definitely recommend Directbus to anyone, as we did not have to rely on train schedules and could instead be taken directly to our destinations with no hassle.Visited October 2023Traveled with friendsWritten November 12, 2023

- Holly LSpring, Texas44 contributionsOutstanding Experience!We had an outstanding experience with Directbus! The driver was friendly, punctual, and gave great advice. The company had excellent communications from the first time I contacted them. The cost was fare, and the van they provided was excellent. We will definitely call them again when we need transportation in Europe. I really do highly recommend their services!Visited December 2023Traveled with familyWritten January 15, 2024

Thanks to Fero who was very helpful during planning and the driver Caba who implemented it. Great team and very approachable and friendly. Overall a great experience considering the first time experience in hiring. Best wishesVisited May 2024Traveled with familyWritten May 25, 2024
- Donna B.5 contributionsGroup of crazy Americans in Europe!I was in contact with Fero for 1 1/2 years before beginning this journey and he was an ABSOLUTE treasure! He assisted me in so many ways with advice and tips and was so incredibly patient and helpful that it took much of the worry and stress away. Our drivers Cuba and Vlado were AMAZING! Vlado kept us laughing the entire time! The Southeast Tennessee Area Young Marines out of Chattanooga Tennessee went on a 6 country, multi city tour of Europe that included France (Aisne-Marne American Cemetery), Belgium (Bastogne), Luxembourg (Luxembourg American Cemetery), Lorraine France (American Cemetery), Munich, Germany (Dachau Memorial), Salzburg Austria (Eagles Nest, Berchtesgaden Germany), Colmar France, Auxerre France, Caen France and all surrounding areas for the 80th Anniversary of D-Day. I would HIGHLY recommend Fero and Directbus for all your transportation needs and look forward to having them drive us about Europe in the future.Visited May 2024Traveled with friendsWritten June 12, 2024
- RgprintsBlue Bell, Pennsylvania45 contributionsHelped make our extended family trip through Holland better than expected!This company is great! Prior to our rental, it was easy to work with Fero to set things up. Our driver, Michal, was terrific and very personable. He was also easy to work with, always on time, very helpful in planning pick-up and drop-off points, and a safe and conscientious driver. The bus was very nice and clean. The space in front of the seats is limited and a little tight for people over 6 feet tall. Fortunately not every seat was taken so the two tall people in our group could take two seats and sit sideways. Other than the spacing issue the Mercedes Sprinter was very comfortable.Visited June 2024Traveled with familyWritten July 12, 2024
- MN1018Singapore, Singapore18 contributionsAnother wonderful experience with DirectBusIt was our second time among siblings to go on a bus tour this time in Eastern Europe using Direct Bus. Michael, the main driver, picked us up in Dubrovnik then drove us to Medjugorje, Split, Zagreb, Ljubljana and Budapest, then 2 more drivers drove us from Budapest and Vienna. It was a 15-day tour. At the start of our tour, we were pleasantly surprised to see the bus that was assigned to us was a brand-new Mercedes Benz 20-seater van. The bus was fully air conditioned, clean and comfortable seats. Michael was very knowledgeable and helpful and drove us safely throughout. We were also pleased to meet Csaba who drove us last year for a major part of our trip, who was able to drive us for a few days in Budapest. And finally, Ferro drove us safely until our last leg to Vienna. Overall, we had a great time. It was yet again a fantastic and enjoyable experience. On behalf of the Naguiat family, thank you for your excellent service. If you intend to travel within Europe by land, we highly recommend Direct Bus services.Visited June 2024Traveled with familyWritten August 17, 2024

I cannot say enough about how wonderful our experience with Directbus was. We took 13 family members to Tuscany and hired Directbus to provide a mini-bus and driver for the week. Milan the driver was prompt, professional and most importantly went above and beyond to be kind to our family. Booking with Fero was very professional and easy.
Milan the driver was on time every day, knew the directions for where we were headed and even stopped by a roadside stand to get a recommendation for local pizza. He also went well above the call of duty and escorted my elderly parents up a steep hill to meet the rest of the family when cars were not allowed in the town. His kindness and patience made our trip memorable and we are so grateful that he was our driver.
I was leery of hiring a bus based on trip advisor recommendations, but I took the leap and I am so glad that I did!
Prices: Great!
Driver: Top-notch!
Minibus: Beautiful, comfortable, luxury, air-conditioning worked great, clean!
I highly recommend this company wherever you are traveling in Europe.

Working with Directbus team was the best touring experience we had. They were very easy to communicate with, extremely accommodating and made the entire experience very pleasurable. They were hired to provide transfer services on an extensive tour for a brass ensemble across Germany. The itinerary was complicated and it was imperative that the ensemble is punctual. Everything went smoothly, and we will absolutely use them for future tours in Europe.

First at all, I'd like to thank for the services from Fero and Vlad. They helped a lot before and in the entire trip.
I had a family trip in Europe in early July, we landed at Frankfurt airport, go all way down along the border of Germany and France, get into Switzland, stay in Switzland for a couple days, then go to north Italy, go through Toscana and depart from Rome airport. It was a long joury, we traveled for longer than 1500km, all with Direct Bus!
I started planning the trip late last year (2022). As we are a group with 13 people, I considered to drive 3 vans in the beginning. However, it's not easy as some of my family never drive in Europe. Also, I planned to take the GoldenPass Express in between Luzern and Interlaken. Driving by ourselves makes this much more difficult and time consuming. I realized it could be easier if we have a tour coach with driver, then I started looking for it. I asked for several quotes from different service providers, then I chose Direct Bus. There're some reasons:
1. I always get a quick response from Fero. It's very important especially when I am planning, a quick response helps me finalizing the plan quickly.
2. I was imformed for all the things I should pay attention on. This is also important as traveling on the road is not always the same in different countries in Europe. For ex., Italy goverment charge addtional fees for entering some cities.
3. Direct Bus arrange the accomendations and meals for the driver, I don't need to spend time on this.
4. Reasonable price! And no hidden cost!
When we arrived Frankfurt airport, we had our driver Vlad there. He is easy to communicate, always on time and gave a lot of useful suggestions, he also told us a lot of tips for saving cost and time.
I would be more than happy to recommend their services, will definitely choose them again if I need such services in the future.

Bunch of us attended a friend's son's wedding in Lake Como, July 1st week, 2022. As a post wedding event, eleven of us took a nine-day road trip in Switzerland, starting from Lake Como. We visited: Interlaken/Jungfrau (Top of Europe, Grindelwald First, Harder Kulm, Schithorn, Lauter Brunnen, Trummel Bach Falls), Zermatt, Lausanne, Gruyere, Montreux, Lucerne (Mt Pilatus, Mt Titlis), Rhine Falls, Zurich City Tour. As you can see it was a lot of coverage in such a short time. Milan, our driver, was very punctual and knew every place/location we wanted to visit. Also, he was eager to help us visit other top attractions in the area. There 16-seater Mercedes min-bus was neat, dependable. All parking fees, toll fees were included. Using their bus service turned out to be a very productive holiday for us.

Last minute transfer from Vienna to Budapest with a 3 hour stop in Bratislava. Perfect transfer, great communication and on time. Fero was very polite, professional and made our trip easy.
We had no worries with him. Want to hire again from Budapest to Prague. The van was very comfortable with room for the 5 of us and 9 pieces of luggage. Definitely recommend!!!

We have worked with several travel agencies before and we can only say that Directbus was really one of the best! We traveled with Directbus for a wedding and a 10 day family trip through Austria, Germany (Bavaria region), Northern Italy, Slovenia, Hungary and the Czech Republic. Fero, the manager, is very communicative and accommodating throughout the planning process. He suggested better routes, explained in detail the fees and driving regulations in the EU and finally helped us plan the itinerary. Fero is very transparent about the price and what comes with it, so we were in good hands with him! As for the trip itself, the 16-seat minivan was wonderful! It's fairly new, clean and comfortable. It has several charging stations, which makes it suitable for long trips. Our driver - Vlado - is also an excellent driver! Very punctual, responsible and also funny! In the end, everyone was happy with the trip and had a great time together. We could not have asked for a better travel experience! Without a doubt, my family and I recommend DirectBus to anyone looking to travel throughout Europe! Excellent service, friendly and reliable staff and a reasonable price! Thank you so much, Fero & Vlado! We hope to work together again in the future!

We were 12 pax belong to 3 families, and 6 among us were children, needless to say noisy. Transport for our 9 days austria trip was managed by Direct bus, in a well organized and professional manner, at the same time reasonably adaptive to our last moments changes in the plan. Our driver Brano was quite friendly and helpful, despite tiring long schedules. We recommend Direct Bus in your next journey through the region.
