DOUBLE DECKER TOUR BUS IN CALABAR? YAAAAYYYY!!!!!

Yayyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!! Guys, here is something very fresh from the source!!!

THERE’S NEWS GUYS!!! As I present this post, I'm grinning from ear to ear because my favourite tour company, NovaRosta is set to launch Africa's 1st indigenous Double Decker Tour Service in Calabar this Friday, the 10th of October. 

Some of the popular sightseeing brands you see around the world include either City Sightseeing or the Big Bus Tour brand. Like everywhere else in the world, we have City Sightseeing operating in South Africa but NovaRosta, a private company resident in Calabar took the plunge and decided to introduce Nigeria's freshest and dynamic tour brand known as the NovaRosta DD Tours or DD Tours as it is commonly referred to. 

Its a few days to the launch of DD Tours where the beautiful bright yellow bus will be hosted to a press conference full of industry personalities and an Inaugural tour which will flag off operations for the DD TOURS service. 

DD TOUR BUS services have been carefully crafted to suit the Nigerian Tourism Market, while still observing strict international standards and policies. The brand’s three main service focus are:

- Sightseeing Tours

- Mobile Advertising

- Charter Services for special groups. 

These have been designed to complement tourist/destination services in Calabar and Nigeria at large. 

DD TOURS will be open for business from the 10th of October. When next you're visiting Calabar, don't miss a ride on the bus!!!

You bet NovaRosta!!! Wooohoooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello all and Happy Independence to you!!! Its 1st October again and time for another INDEPENDENCE QUIZ CHALLENGE!!!
