Since 2008, our experience has enabled us to identify the best coach companies in Lyon.
Book your coach with driver in Lyon
Since 2008, we have been offering several types of services in Lyon, by minibus or coach, including :
- Transfers between central Lyon and Lyon Saint-Exupery airport
- Transfers between Lyon airport or Lyon Part-Dieu station and ski resorts in the Alps (Val Thorens, Val d'Isere, Chamonix, l'Alpe d'Huez, Tignes...)
- Coaches at your disposal in Lyon and surroundings, for your sightseeing tour (Place Bellecour, Fourviere...) or business meeting
- Shuttle bus for weddings in Lyon
- Wine tours and day trips in the Lyon area
We chose Toursud to organize a group tour of Saint-Émilion. Communication and organization with Arnaud was easy and friendly. The bus was clean and comfortable. Our driver, Jean-Jacques, was friendly and punctual! All good, then!
Our traveling group of 38 booked through Toursud for round-trip transit in July between Brest airport and Quimper, another one-way trip on the same route, and three round-trip transits to locations in the area around Quimper during the week. I can say without any hesitation that all of our experiences were outstanding: on-time (or early) arrivals for pickup and drop-off, incredibly friendly and flexible drivers, and the coaches, themselves, were all clean and neat. When we experienced flight delays our contacts at Toursud were quickly responsive, no matter the hour, and worked diligently to accommodate our updated schedule - they took all of the worry out of the process, something for which we will be eternally grateful. A truly smooth and wonderful experience all around - and all at a completely reasonable cost. We will definitely be recommending Toursud whenever possible, and will ourselves be in touch for any future needs.
Absolutely a great service we rented a return bus from the airport and a bus for a day trip. We had a problem around the wrong times created by ourselves and Toursud fix this issue while we were in the air flying to start our holiday. Thanks to Arnaud Caron who handled all the bookings for us, he made our holiday one of the smoothest allowing our party of 35 to really enjoy our holiday.

Fantastic service, friendly driver who was on time and accommodated all of our requests on our winery and dinner tour for the evening. Their administrative team were helpful in advance and made the whole process easy.. Would highly recommend this firm!
Fast, accurate, courteous service! grat communication all via email form US.
Everything went great! The bus was perfect for us and our driver was patient and she waited for us and the bus was easy to find when we needed it. Everything from pick up to drop off was very timely. Thank you!!
Great coach hire company, we used for a primary school visit to Paris in July 2025
Toursud Coach Hire was amazing in the facilitation of our pick up and drop offs to multiple locations throughout the south of France and from our chateau in Le Mans. Ingrid our driver was professional, on time, and responsible. We would highly recommend this service to anyone else visiting the area that needs a coach hire for a large group!
Thank you very much for all your help with our coach hire on 15th May in and around Epernay visiting Champagne Houses. We had a wonderful day helped by your coaches and immaculate service.
Our group needed to travel from Paris to Tannay to pick up a Canal Boat.
Arnaud and his team were fantastic to deal with , a very rewarding experience all my questions were promptly responded to with no fuss.
The bus was clean , comfortable with a polite and helpful driver
I happily recommend Toursud for your transport needs.

A fine job. When hosting a group overseas, we value reliability and hospitality, as well as seamless communication. Toursud is delivering on all, and we continue to count on them.
The drivers were prompt and helpful. The buses were clean and comfortable. It was great working with Toursud, as they were accommodating of some last-minute changes. I definitely will be contacting them regarding future trips, as well as recommending the company to my colleagues.
I had an excellent experience booking with Toursud for my university class trip! The communication was excellent, Arnaud and Coralie were friendly, helpful and always quick to respond.
Our trip went very smoothly thanks to the organisation and punctuality of our driver which allowed for a smooth and enjoyable experience for everyone.
I would absolutely travel with Toursud again!

I organised a legal conference in Amiens and Ypres and Toursud provided the transport. The Service was exceptional. Arnaud made sure that everything was handled clearly , promptly and without fuss. The booking and exchange of information was seamless. During the conference Arnaud communicated with me so that there was no stress wondering if the bus would come. It all worked like clockwork. The buses were beautiful- new clean and so comfortable. The Drivers were polite, prompt and helpful. I could not have asked for or expected any better. Feel safe and in good hands with Tour sud.
If you even need a coach in France - this is the place to be! Excellent and fast communication, in English, and fantastic organization. We had some 'difficult' questions but everything was solved without a problem. Our trip with a group of 71 persons went smoothly thanks to Toursud!
I organised a trip for 21 people from Lyon Airport in to the French Alps. Toursud Coach Hire was responsive and efficient from the first point of contact. The Coach itself was 5 Star on both sectors and our driver Mr. Oliver, was very pleasant and helpful. Roads in and out of the Alps are very busy in high season and Toursud made contact mid week to advise us to consider leaving earlier to ensure on time arrival for our return flight. I would not hesitate to recommend them or to use them again for our next trip.
I was very happy. The coach was waiting for us at the designated pickup spot exactly on time. The driver was very helpful and friendly. He even had to turn around to bring back a coat someone left onboard, which was very nice of him!
Toursud were great in helping me find a coach for our tour group for a one way transfer on a Sunday. All the information was clear. The bus driver was very helpful with our luggage and ensuring everyone was comfortable. I would be happy to recommend them.
We used Toursud for bus transports for over 140 wedding guests at a venue in Villveyrac from 2 nearby towns where most of the guests were staying.
Arnaud & the team were very useful and quick to respond and the buses dropped off and collected our guests with no problem. it was great being able to deal with Toursud in English as well. they even put signs on the buses with the wedding party name on. very professional service.
Many thanks

The driver was very friendly. The coach was very clean and spacious, and I have nothing but good things to say about the bus and driver, as well as our experience.
Our educational organization hired TOURSUD for a private coach in Normandy in July '24. Driver Franck could not have done a better job. We were very very impressed. He went way beyond our expectations. Thank you very much!
Toursud responded quickly every single time I contacted them. Both by email and WhatsApp. Other companies never even responded.
I'm an American teacher who needed a full coach on short notice. I booked a bus for a group of high school students on a day trip in Provence. The bus arrived on time, and the driver was very friendly. Perfectly executed arrangement.
I cannot recommend Toursud more enthusiastically ... Arnaud and his team are top shelf pros

All around, was a punctual and very helpful service, we would recommend.

I was absolutely blown away with Toursoud.
First of all - the communication before the trip with Arnaud was incredible. He required me to give me an itinerary to the minute several weeks in advance - which was fantastic for me as well. He answered all my questions immediately and provided absolutely everything we needed. Our driver Cerdic was fantastic - he understood exactly what our group of wine lovers needed - he gave us three days, showed us all the famous vineyards and got us everywhere we wanted on time and in order. We will definitely return to Toursud next year. We thank you:-)

Can I start by saying we were totally impressed with the level of communication prior to our arrival.
Mr Freddy our driver was absolutely first class, a real gentleman.
His driving skills are outstanding and he assisted one of our group who was using a mobility scooter. Without even being asked.
We would fully recommend this service and will definitely be using them again as we have another trip in mind for 2026.
Well done and thankyou to Toursud.

Overall - 5 stars!

Fabulous experience with this company. We arranged airport transfers and a day trip and each occasion we were given driver contact details and clear pickup points. Communication with the company and the drivers was excellent. Highly recommend Toursud. Should the need arise I will absolutely use them again.
Everything went smooth and with very good information flow. We were very pleased with your high quality services.
Everything was perfect in terms of communication beforehand and on the day. The coach was also of a very high quality. Thank you Arnaud for all your help!
We greatly appreciate you and your team. Before the trip, you made excellent suggestions and provided all the details we asked for (and then some). Your drivers were all friendly, prompt, and professional--their support was impeccable. We hope to work with you again on a future trip.
I’m writing to inform you that we had a superb trip over the weekend. Pierre was absolutely fantastic and made a large contribution to the success of the tours by his excellent driving and willingness to help us in every way.
Mr. Emig was friendly and a very good driver. He knew we were tired from our flight and just let us sleep.
He was able to drive us from Paris to literally a few meters from our hotel door in the old city of St. Malo which is not easy to do!

We have just returned from a super weekend of Rugby in La Rochelle with the Navan RFC u12's. Toursud coordinated all of our transfers from 2 airports, Nantes and Bordeaux, and our base on Isle de Re without a single incident. Punctual and efficient! They were also available to transfer us in and out to our games and the Top 14 match which finished late on Sunday night! This match was rescheduled from Sat to Sun at short notice and Arnaud worked hard to manage the changes and ensured we were properly catered for. I would have no hesitation in using Toursud again in the future.
We were very happy with the airport transfers today. It all went very smoothly and there was plenty of room for students' luggage. We especially appreciated having someone meet us at the airport who was in contact with the bus driver. It worked out perfectly!
Have worked with them 3 times for a group of 25 to go skiing. Very good communication, reliable, always on time and take feedback seriously. Will work with them again.
Excellent communication, coach and driver both excellent! We had a coach from Grenoble up to La Rosiere and back. Highly recommend this service!
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....
Very happy to work with Arnaud for my group. He is as well as bus company used efficient and organised. We had a great experience wherever we toured. Toursud is always accessible at all times. I can highly recommend Arnaud and Toursud. Drivers were also very welcoming and helpful.
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.
Dear Arnaud and Coralie, I would like to thank you very much for the extremly professional service in organizing and accompanying my 2 group tours! The drivers were expienced, helpful and always on time. I would be happy to work with you again!
I booked a mini bus to take my cricket touring party to our venue at Chateaux Giscours 45 minutes outside of Bordeaux.
From morning pick up to evening drop back the process could not have been easier.
Our driver was a lovely chap - very helpful and friendly and arrived promptly in the morning for collection at our hotel and again in the evening at the Chateaux for the journey back.
The drive was excellent, the coach clean and tidy. All in all a very smooth trip for us.
Many thanks for all your help.

On 23/09/23 we have booked a coach for excursion Mont St. Michel from Cherbourg port. From the first moment I've made the reservation till the end of the service, I received great service. Quick and adequate information was provided and the bus and driver were great as well.
This is our second year of using Toursud to arrange coach travel in France. Arnaud and Coralie couldn't be more helpful and professional. Great communication throughout.
The coaches in Paris were on time and clean, the drivers friendly and welcoming to our group.

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 have used TourSud since 2022, to provide connection transport for our charity bike ride to Bordeaux. This year's event was a huge success, and TourSud played a big part in making it happen. Arnaud and his team are friendly, efficient and above reliable. We had zero issues with transport meaning we can concentrate on running our bike ride. We look forward to continuing the relationship for years to come! Merci Beaucoup TourSud.
Thanks to Arnaud and Coralie for your great service. A late group booking request was handled speedily and effectively. Communication was quick and clear throughout, and our driver had also clearly received all information about our itinerary and requirements.
Very good communication throughout. On the day everything worked great with the pickup and the drivers. They were very prompt on timing and everything worked perfectly.
I just got home from our weekend trip with the company to Champagne and want to thank Arnaud, Coralie and Denis very much for the fantastic service! It was a perfectly organized day visiting multiple smaller vineyards around Epernay and the coach was a huge addition to our trip! Denis was very accommodating and friendly. We will definitely consider using your service again when we return.
A big thank you and warm regards from JLL The Netherlands

Arnaud was just so wonderful, helpful & resourceful! We had a last-minute request for a coach, and Arnaud came through for us. The driver arrived on-time, was professional, polite & drove with care. We had quick responses to our safety concerns during the recent riots & travel times. Will absolutely use this company again and highly recommend their services!
We hired coach services for three separate travels in Lourdes & Paris in Feb 2023. Toursud did those with high professionalism and punctuality. Thank you Toursud
For our staff party we rented 2 busses. The busses arrived on time and the drivers drove well. Very happy with this service.

Arnaud (Toursud) helped us source coaches for our wedding guests in a tricky part of southern France. Everything on the day went perfectly and he was always friendly and professional. Would highly recommend.
Good Morning Arnaud,
The service provided was excellent, the coach was immaculate and the driver Michel was friendly and very professional and attended to all our needs and gave us information on various things/areas in France.
I would definitely recommend Toursaud to friends and family.
Many thanks.

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.
We were very happy with your services, extra thanks to our drivers on 15th, 19th and on 20th Jul.
Fantastic service and buses every time on schedule, outstanding bus, as you certainly know, not the cheapest, but good value for money.
Send our greetings to all three drives.
And finally thank You Arnod for your continous co-operation.

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 will definitely be recommending Toursud whenever possible, and will ourselves be in touch for any future needs. Thank you so very much, Arnaud – you’ve been an incredible help!
