Why visit Tours by bus?

Tours is both a large city, where it's not easy to get around in a group, and a city on a human scale, with reasonably-sized buildings. Coaches are easy to move around, and their height gives you an unobstructed view of the city as you travel. A bus trip to Tours allows you to customize your itinerary to visit the city as you wish, at your own pace.You won't have to worry about traffic and parking regulations, or keep track of every member of your group. You decide on the stops and times, and we take care of the rest. For your part, each member of the group can follow his or her own intuition and visit as they please, with the sole constraint of joining the rental bus at the agreed time and place.
