Save on bus tours when on holidays

If you would like to go on a bus tour when on holidays but find it too expensive per person, then look up the itinerary online for a tour you are interested in, hire a car and drive to the meeting point at the starting time. From then on you can drive behind the bus and follow it to all its destinations on the tour. At each destination, you can try to get as close as possible to the commentary from the guide to listen to it. You won't have to pay gratitudes to the guide and driver either at the end of the trip. Note that you only save money if the car hire and petrol is cheaper then the tour when split between X number of people in your car.
