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!

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 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

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.

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 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 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.

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!

Why hundreds of groups trust us every year since 2008

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 Lyon 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.

And you, our customers, give us valuable information during and after your trips. This allows us to continuously improve.
