Coach hire for a family day.
A family reunion, your grandparents' anniversary, a milestone birthday or simply a day out with everyone: with a coach from ITS-Reizen, the whole family travels together, from the youngest to the oldest. The driver drives, you enjoy the day.
One coach, all generations together
For a family day, people often come from different directions. Some live in the city, others in the countryside, and not everyone has a car or still likes to drive long distances. With a shared coach, the arrangements are much simpler: one departure time, a few pick-up points and everyone arrives at once.
And perhaps best of all: on the coach there is time to catch up. Cousins who rarely see each other sit side by side for an hour, and for the grandchildren the journey itself is an adventure. ITS-Reizen from Bolsward drives days like these for families of 30 to 90 people, or more with a second coach.

Reunion, anniversary or birthday
A golden wedding anniversary, a milestone birthday or a reunion of a large family calls for something special. An outing by coach turns it into a day to talk about for a long time. Think of a tour of the places the family comes from, a lunch at a beautiful venue, a boat trip or a visit to a city. We drive you to every part of the day and make sure the programme is not thrown off by traffic jams or cars that get lost. If you want to keep the destination a secret from the guests of honour, we will take that into account in our arrangements.
Ideas for a day out
A zoo or theme park is fun for all ages; take a look, for example, at Artis in Amsterdam or the other destinations for groups. In spring, Keukenhof is a popular outing, especially for the older generation. Or choose a city with a canal tour and a restaurant. If you wish, we can help book entrance tickets; an administration fee may apply.
Looking after grandma and the grandchildren
On a family day, not everyone finds walking equally easy. The driver drops the group as close to the entrance as possible and takes his time when people get on and off. A folding wheelchair or rollator generally goes in the luggage hold; let us know in advance and we will allow for it. Pushchairs and bags of things for the little ones fit in too. If the journey is a little longer, we plan a break on the way. That way the whole family really can come along.
Boarding at home or at a meeting point
If the family lives far apart, the coach can stop at a few places: for example at the home of the guests of honour, at a station and at a car-sharing car park along the route. We draw up a driving schedule with a fixed time for each stop, so everyone knows when to be ready. At the end of the day, the coach follows the same route back and drops everyone off where they boarded. Feel free to send us the addresses; we will work out the order that means the shortest detour for the rest of the family.
Which coach should you choose?
For a family of around thirty people, the ITS-Reizen Iveco is a good choice. A larger family travels in a coach with 55, 63 or 66 seats or in a double-decker for 90 people, with a toilet and onboard kitchen on board. Not sure yet exactly how many relatives are coming? We will advise you based on an estimate, and make the final choice together with you once everyone has signed up. That way you do not pay for seats that stay empty.
Frequently asked questions
- Is a coach worthwhile for a family of thirty people?
- Often, yes. Our smallest coach has 30 seats. Weigh that against the cost of fuel, parking and several cars, and a coach is a serious option, with everyone travelling together.
- Can we stop somewhere for lunch on the way?
- Yes, the coach can stop at a restaurant or lunch venue. Send us the address and time and we will include it in the driving schedule.
- What does the driver do during the outing?
- He waits near the venue and takes his compulsory rest there. At the time you agree together, he drives up again.
- Can the family day become a weekend?
- Certainly. We can help book a hotel for the family; an administration fee may apply. The driver then stays with the group for the journeys during the stay.
- What do I need to provide for a quote?
- The date, the estimated number of family members, the pick-up points, the programme or destination and your preferred times. You will then receive a tailored proposal.
