Guided Coach Tours
Popular event types and associated coach services
- School trips by bus: as low prices and safety are the most important factors in organizing school trips, we select coaches that satisfy high technical standards but their price level and extra facilities are modest. Along with bus selections, we also take responsibility to find budget accommodation in the right type of environment. Enclosed recreational areas, natural parks, lakesides and other close to nature locations are preferred as they offer a great variety of active programs with minimal disturbance to locals.
- Corporate coach travel and team building: for businesses who train employees or organize meetings and conferences in their professional field, priorities include a high class service with maximum reliability, punctuality and style. In case of international guests we advise centrally located city conference centers where participants can work and relax at the same time. Business-class shuttle buses connect the hotel with the airport and other venues during the training. The proximity of the sights and restaurants of Budapest is a great opportunity for these clients to enjoy the highlights of the city while working hard on business issues. For local companies we recommend remote conference centers where extra facilities and the closeness of nature can add up to the experience at lower prices.
- Sports events coach tours: the top priority for professional players and fans is proximity to sports facilities, and flexibility in capacity. In some large sports events many buses are needed at the same time to transport fans and players to the site of the game, and transport them back to their places of accommodation simultaneously. These extreme peaks in demand posit a specific problem for travel organizers which can be solved with a big network of providers cooperating on the same project. Recommended accommodation are budget hotels for fans and undisturbed recreational areas for the players.
- Weddings: Most guest use their own vehicles to travel to weddings, but movement between the venues of the event is better done with professional transport services, like coach buses or minibuses for more frequent departures. This allows drivers to enjoy their freedom to sip champagne together with the celebrating crowd. Recommended vehicles are high-class, decorative buses. Selection of venues and accommodation are dependent on the particular location and budget.
Delegate your coach travel project to avoid excessive paperwork, stress and overspending
Organizing a business conference, a family reunion or a university field-trip can be an overwhelming task for someone who is not a travel industry specialist. Coach tours are complex packages where accommodation, bus rental, dining and programs are all included in one deal. Negotiation with each vendor individually without experience or personal acquaintance is a difficult task that involves a lot of effort and a high level of risk. Vendors may use their unique position to strike a better deal, and certain program organizers might not come up to all expected standards. Coaches themselves can be quite diverse with multiple different factors to pay attention to. One of these is on-board facilities, another is the age and safety level of the vehicle. A good looking offer might easily end up with technical issues, a loud engine, a malfunctioning air con, a smelly cabin or broken audiovisual equipment.
With over 20 years’ of experience in the travel industry, we have a good overview of the Hungarian travel sector. Acquaintance with most of the players and insight into availability and budgeting allows us to select the best partners for each project. Being a reseller, we can negotiate better prices and avoid pitfalls. To avoid all these risks, delegate your project to travel industry professionals who understand the strengths and weaknesses of each vendor and can calculate with their services and prices accordingly.
What to consider when organizing a custom coach tour
How many guests will participate in the events?
How long is the distance between each venue, and how frequent departures are preferred?
Are the roads and destinations easy to navigate with large coach buses, or minibuses can ensure a more flawless service?
Is a city location or a remote facility with outdoor programs more suitable for the attendants?
Is comfort and panorama important for the group, or are easiness of boarding and frequent departures the most important priorities?
Is this an overnight trip where extra facilities like bufe and toilets are essential?
What are the expectations of the group in terms of service quality, attendance and guiding versus budget?
