There are so many different types of tour by bus now available from places that reflect celebrity's history to places that have significant historical value to the country the tour is taking place. This is why bus and coach tours are popular all over the world not just in the UK as it allows visitors to see many places of interest in a small amount of time. Some of the most popular bus and coach tours include:

- London bus tour - This has been a popular tour for many years because of there being lots of places of interest and the buildings such as Buckingham Palace and Westminster Abbey which are known world wide in the city of London. There are, however, more specialised sight seeing events such as the changing of the guards out side Buckingham Palace. The way the tours tend to work is they will either have a set pick up time where they will collect the people for the tour and along the way they will have different stops where it is possible for you to get off and have a look around the area then get back on with the rest of the people from your tour, or they will have buses running about 15 minutes from each other in circulation and when you have got off the bus you can get on one of the next buses that go past.

- Hollywood bus tours - These tours have become more popular over the years as the public have become increasingly interested in the lives of celebrities. There are a range of different tours available including the celebrity house tour or there are more well known sites on tours such as the Hollywood Walk Of Fame. The celebrity house tour takes them around not only many stars homes but also to places like bars and shops the celebrities are well known to be. Other Hollywood tours include that of the Universal Studios which has been a major filming set since 1915 and has been set for many well known films since its building.

With these tours as well as the group tours on buses or mini buses there is the alternative of having a private tour. This means you can either have a personal guide walking with you to show you all the different areas of interest or you can have a limo driven tour of the city you are in. These tours usually cost a fair bit more than your standard tour but they offer the comfort of a limo and you need not think about when you need to be back at your bus as it's your own private vehicle.
