would like your views Oz Experience Vs Greyhound

Hi all im just going to book my trip to aus when i saw this thread Oz Experience Vs Greyhound i know Oz Experience is alot more money then Greyhound but was told if you dont know where u are going and your on your own then Oz Experience is the best way to make friend and get you cheap hostle, were Greyhound is just cheap and dont take you to all the hot spot or make any plans for you

please tell me your thoughts thanks all

They're two different 'beasts' really. Although greyhound has done a lot in recent years to tack on tours etc, in the end it's primarily a bus service between two locations. Oz experience operates much smaller buses and the people driving them are more tour guides than bus drivers. That means more info along the way regarding what you're seeing, and also more stops to take it all in. Greyhound bus drivers will mention something every now and then as well, but it's more about getting from a to b as quickly as possible.

I'm not saying one is better than the other, but it really depends on your goals and what you're hoping to get out of that stretch of the trip.

hey sam i am i think ur right Oz experience sound like the better bus if you wont to meet other and have fun plus they help you get placese to stay thank for your advice do you have any tip on thailand? lol

If you're thinking Oz Ex or Greyhound, it usually pays to buy them while still overseas. Oz Experience I know gives a 15% discount when bought abroad, and I think Greyhound has something similar.

Quoting hench

do you have any tip on thailand? lol

It's been years since I was there, but I enjoyed the islands. Just caught some minibus down and a boat across; pretty easy!
