The US and Canadian shooting teams made a joint decision to use Toursud for our teams transportation and travel requirements while competing in Châteauroux France. I can not thank Arnoud and company enough for working with us on our ever changing and very fluid schedules while there. They helped to provide an efficient and pleasurable trip for our 10 days there. You were a large part of our teams success while there. Thank you again....

We used Toursud's coach charter service in France for 9 days in October 2023. Excellent service! On time every morning! Clean, modern luxury coaches with VERY HELPFUL Tour Drivers. No problem was too big to solve. The Driver(s) took great care of our Tour Group (Rugby Players and Parents), and in narrow roads and peak traffic delivered us safely to the front of the Hotel doors each time day. Only use Toursud when in France. You will be very happy that you did!

We had an amazing experience with Arnaud and Toursud. We were a group of 24 travelling from the United States and Arnaud helped with all aspects of our trip from planning to execution. Our bus and driver were exceptional and understanding. We will absolutely use Toursud in the future.

Arnaud and his teams service was fantastic. It made everything very easy for me (when arranging 3 different transports across 3 days for over 30 guests in total) which helped the weekend be such a success. Thank you for all you and your teams efforts.

We run a Charity Cycle ride from Bristol to Bordeaux and started using Toursud in 2022 to transport our cycling group from their overnight hotels to the start of each day's cycling route. I have to say it has proved a revelation. Toursud provide a reliable, friendly and affordable solution to our transport issues. We used them again this year and have zero complaints. We will be delighted to be using them in the future and would recommend any other groups to use the as well.

We booked a bus for a group of 20 people to travel from Bayeux to Rouen to Paris using Coach-Hire-France/Toursud. Arnaud was very helpful and easy to communicate with during the planning process. On the day of the bus ride, everything worked very smoothly -- the bus was on-time, clean, and comfortable. I highly recommend working with Coach-Hire-France/Toursud.

Toursud arranged a 53 seater coach hire for my group for an event near Pouzac, France in June 2022. The whole process was excellent from start to finish with great communication at every moment along the way - a very professional operation. I would highly recommend using Toursud if you need to arrange a coach hire in France. Thank you Arnaud at Toursud.

I booked a bus for 30 cruise ship passengers from Brest to Quimper, with a stop in Locronan on the way back to the ship. Our Toursud buses were the only buses outside of the ship’s excursions that were licensed to pick us up and drop us off on the dock right next to our ship. Our driver, Frederique, was excellent, accommodating our last minute request to shorten our stops to get back to the ship a bit earlier than originally planned (with a little bit of help from Google Translate!). The bus was extremely comfortable and temperature controlled. Thank you again!

We are a French coach company registered in France with the Ministry of Transport. We are also a travel operator approved by Atout France, France's tourism development agency.

Our financial guarantee of €200,000 is insured by APST, and our professional liability is covered by Allianz.

Unlike other competitors, we have chosen to work only in France, and especially in the La Rochelle area. Because it is better to be very good in one country than average in several countries.

Since 2008 we have been carefully selecting the coach companies we work with throughout France. We know them. We know how they work. They also know how we work and what we expect from them. It's a give and take.
