zadyraka89, but do you consider the option WITHOUT a tour operator? When traveling on your own, no one will drive you or make you wait, you will be able to see Europe up close.

Read the program carefully, having a map with distances in front of your eyes. If you drive more than 350 km a day, then this is already an accelerated acquaintance with Europe. You will clearly understand at a gallop or you will ride for pleasure.

yes, that’s why I decided to turn to experienced people, because I don’t read any program, and then I put it into a program with distances between cities and go out a day from 350 to 500 km (for example, Krakow-Budapest, or Budapest-Vienna) this is at least 4 hours a day way

It's just that usually bus tours are built to some final destination, for example, to Prague or Paris. There may be several nights at the end point, and everything along the way is usually a gallop.
It makes sense to look for a combined bus + air tour in order to start from the main country without transit ones.

sightseeing tour and back the same 4 hours, so it turns out that this is not a travel company, but some kind of transport company with accompanying excursion functions

In this case, choose the city you want to go to and fly by plane. There will be no transfers, and you will choose which excursions you want to visit. There are such tours in Fairy and Accordtour

Contact the tourtrans-voyage. In bus tours, they have no equal. The longest journeys are obtained on the first and last days of the trip. Tourtransport has so many options that you will surely find what you need.

In general, Moscow, but what's the difference if it's an air + bus? I think they will join the group without any problems.

tourtrans.ru their website, there is the most detailed description of tours and contacts of representative offices. There is definitely a branch in Minsk, but I don’t know for sure about Kyiv. But she herself went with them for the last time in January and there were citizens of Ukraine in the group, so there should be no problems.

Extravaganza, Accord-Tour, Inkomartur.
If the tours are bus, there will be a lot of crossings. As for the excursion from Budapest to Vienna, it comes something like this: around 8-00 departure from the hotel. Arrival at 11-30. Back at 19:00. You walk almost all day long.

Self tour. In Budapest, walk, wander, from Budapest you can go to Zagreb, Ljubljana, Vienna, Prague.
Cheaper by Buses from Nepliget bus station in Budapest.
But this is if you have already been in Europe. If you haven't been, take a herd tour.

I am an old believer in solo travel. And there is nothing wrong with them. You don't know the language, there are already so many of our fellow countrymen in Europe that you can hear your native speech already at the first steps. This is especially true for Italy.You stay in hotels or apartments wherever you want, and not on the outskirts of the city, as is often the case on bus tours and from where else you need to get to the sights.
All TURBUSES in the cities are equipped with headphones with several languages in them, here you are instead of a guide; you just need to buy tickets for them.
Well, if it’s scary to the limit, I would first fly to Slovakia, to Bratislava. The Slavic language, next to the Danube and Prague, and Vienna, and Budapest. Very close! There you can ride in them and the Danube.

Dear gentlemen-tourists! If a person is traveling for the first time, and without knowledge of a foreign language, then perhaps the best way out is to buy a ready-made tour from a travel agency. With a good guide.
zadyraka89, I can absolutely calmly advise "Fairy" and "Inkomartur". I went with them several times - the tours are well balanced, enough free time is given after the tour. The main thing is not to choose tours where several countries at once, no matter how much you want to cover more in one trip - there are big transfers. Better 1-2 neighboring countries in one trip.
Now "Inkomartur" constantly sends offers with small and inexpensive routes. Look at them.

What is the discussion on this forum without alex45?
That's just about the headphones on the buses, you are a bit freaked out. Yes, in the Museum of the History of the City of Athens, you can listen to both the full tour and the description of specific exhibits in any language (I’m only talking about where I was and what I saw myself). Yes, in the salt mines of the city of Wieliczka there are guided tours in any language, but in Russian there are only four per day. Yes, in the city of Florence you can book a tour in any language, and there are plenty of Russian people who live for 15-20 years in Italy. However, these are all local excursions. Perhaps one day you were lucky enough to ride around Europe on such a tourist bus that had headphones with several languages. However, this is more the exception than the rule. Do not mislead people.

I didn’t understand what alex45 meant by his native speech (Ukrainian or Russian), but if we talk about Russian, then, for example, the leader of the hop on hop off "City sightseeing" tour market has Russian accompaniment in Prague, Copenhagen, Tallinn, Helsinki , Paris, Berlin (and several other German cities), Corfu, Budapest, Dublin, Rome (and several other cities in Italy), Malta, Amsterdam, Oslo and other Norwegian cities, Warsaw and Krakow, Brussels, cities Spain, UK and Portugal.
In general, there is where to ride around Europe on a red double decker.

For me, my native language is Russian.
I don't prove to people like mindguru what I know and what I don't, and I don't prove whether I should post here or not. And I say that you learn materiel, then show off.
In order to board Turbasy, you need to buy a package or a ticket for it, and you don’t need to order any additional excursions!
I posted a photo of Paris, we are sitting in Turbas, we are going to the triumphal arch.

Alex is correct. In every major tourist city, buses for city tours are equipped with headphones with at least 12 languages, including Russian. And you don’t need to look for any Russian-speaking guide. Everything you need and even more can be heard on the bus. In addition, it is convenient that you can get off at any stop along the route, take a walk and then take any other bus of the same company without buying a new ticket.
Fly in the ointment - in Lisbon you have to be careful, there are 3 competing companies with similar buses and the same routes, but 2 of them stupidly "breed" suckers. But this is purely Portuguese specificity.

kolyan_cat, is there such a bus in Rome? Or is it not a major tourist city? And in Athens?
alex45, it has long been known that you are the smartest and most greedy on our forum. From the fact that you rode such a bus ONCE, it does not at all follow that ALL cities have such buses. However, it doesn't matter to you. Do not at least confuse the people you are trying to advise!

Again, it's funny when a person doesn't know anything and doesn't want to know!
In Rome, there are THREE Turbas routes, they are of different colors and go to different places in Rome. I didn’t write anywhere that they are IN ALL cities, in the city or village of Velichki they are naturally not there, most likely. And don't splash bile if you don't like me as a person. Take care of your liver!
I only write about what I know and try not to blurt out like you. My advice is "Check the information, especially if you are not in the know about something!" And while I do not see your smart advice!!!

"In Athens, there are two companies - the yellow Athens Open Tour buses and the red CitySightseeing. Their routes are identical, the schedule is the same, and here and there - nice double-decker buses, and here and there a multilingual audio guide (Greek, English, Spanish, German, Italian , French, Russian, Japanese, Turkish, Chinese - and some more)."
This is so that you do not talk, it turns out that there are TURBASSES in Athens too.
