Can we go to the Ardennes and back in one day?

From the north of the Netherlands that makes for a very long day. We recommend a trip of several days with at least one overnight stay.

Does the coach stay in the Ardennes during our stay?

We agree this with you. The coach can stay for journeys to activities, or come back to collect the group on the last day.

Do we need a second driver?

Where the driving and rest times require it, we include a second driver. This is clearly stated in the quote.

Will our equipment fit on the coach?

A coach has a spacious luggage hold for suitcases, sleeping bags and sports bags. Please let us know about large equipment in advance.

What do you need from us for a quote?

The pick-up point, the outward and return dates, the address of your accommodation, the number of passengers and any journeys you need on site.

Coach hire to the Ardennes.

Looking to hire a coach to the Ardennes? ITS-Reizen drives your group with experienced drivers to the Belgian Ardennes and back home again after your stay. For schools, sports clubs and companies, as a trip of several days.

Getting active in the Belgian Ardennes

The Ardennes in southern Belgium are a popular destination for active group trips. Groups go kayaking, mountain biking, climbing or caving. First-year secondary classes, school-leavers, sports clubs and companies often choose a programme of several days there.

By coach, the whole group travels together, with all the luggage on board. We provide the transport and are happy to help book your accommodation (an administration fee may apply); the activity programme can be arranged with an outdoor centre.

A long journey, well planned

From Bolsward, the Ardennes are around 315 kilometres away as the crow flies, and quite a bit further by road. That is why we run trips to the Ardennes over several days. We plan the outward and return journeys within the legal driving and rest times, with a second driver if needed.

Kayaking on the Lesse

A kayak trip on the River Lesse is a classic for school groups and sports clubs. We take the group to the starting point and collect you again at the end of the trip, if the coach stays with the group during your stay.

The Caves of Han and outdoor programmes

The Caves of Han are among the best-known sights in the Ardennes. Combine them with an outdoor programme of climbing, mountain biking or survival activities.

Does the coach stay with the group?

We agree this with you in advance. The coach can stay during your stay, so the group can travel to activities in the area, or it can drop the group off and collect everyone at the end of the stay. The choice depends on your programme and the distances on site.

Activity week, sports trip or team outing

For schools, the Ardennes are a popular destination for a residential activity week or an end-of-exams trip. Sports clubs go there for training camps, and companies choose it for an active team outing. Send us your programme and the address of your accommodation with your request, and we will plan the journeys.

Room for luggage and equipment

A trip of several days means suitcases, sleeping bags and sometimes sports equipment. A coach has a spacious luggage hold. We operate coaches with 55, 63 and 66 seats and double-deckers for 90 passengers, and use several coaches for larger groups.
