Bus for day trips

With agt – agency for global transport, a coach charter agency, you book your day trip by bus. For your day trip, you book a bus with a driver through agt. The bus offers a high degree of flexibility and takes your group comfortably to different destinations. During the journey, you can enjoy the scenery, talk to each other or relax, all without dealing with changes, navigation, traffic or parking. The drivers ensure that your guests can look forward to the day trip.

Especially for group trips with colleagues, friends or family, the bus for day trips is a good choice: everyone travels there and back together. For a day in another city, our city trips are also suitable; if you would like to stay overnight, you can add a hotel stay.

Choosing the right vehicle for a day trip depends on the group size and the needs of the passengers. For smaller groups, you can choose van hire with driver for 1 to 7 people or a minibus with driver for 8 to 18 people. For larger groups, you can choose coach hire with driver, with room for 19 to 50 people. Typical equipment: air conditioning, charging ports for devices, an audio system and upholstered seats, depending on the partner operator and availability.

Before deciding on a day trip, you should consider whether you want to organise the trip yourself or book a ready-made bus trip. Both options have advantages and disadvantages. If you plan it yourself, you have full control over your trip, from choosing the bus company to route planning and individual stops. This flexibility is an advantage but can quickly become a burden. Depending on the group size, occasion and itinerary, coordinating details such as the schedule, travel times, breaks, parking options or official permits yourself often takes a lot of effort. Especially for events, school trips or multi-day trips, this can quickly become demanding, particularly when short-notice changes occur or questions need to be clarified.

If you opt for a fully organised bus trip, you hand over part of the planning but gain comfort. We plan, organise and manage the journey with our partner operators. As a rule, buses and drivers are provided by our partner operators, from a network of more than 1,500 partner operators across Europe. Your contact person coordinates the process in the background. This leaves you more time for what matters: looking forward to the trip and a relaxed journey.

The number of travel destinations is almost unlimited. Particularly popular are trips to larger cities such as Cologne, Berlin, Munich and others. You have complete freedom when exploring the cities.

Other activities can also be targeted, instead of exploring a city, it can be something nature-related, such as a trip to a botanical garden. For example, the Botanical Garden Berlin. There you can get to know and view thousands of species of plants from all over the world – be they medicinal plants, beautiful exotic flowers, water plants to herb plants.

Alternatively, a nature reserve like the Lüneburg Heath is suitable, it is a spacious heathland in the northeast of Lower Saxony and is known for beautiful hills, streams, and forests. In summer, the fields are particularly beautiful due to their purple color. The Wilseder Berg offers you a fantastic view and is the highest point of the Lüneburg Heath at a height of 169m.

For all those who want to go even higher, we recommend a day trip to the Bavarian Alps. There is the highest point in Germany at a height of 2,962m and it offers you a breathtaking view of the surrounding mountains and valleys.

If you need a bit more action, amusement parks like the Heide Park Resort in Soltau are recommended. Here you will find enough adrenaline-pumping roller coasters, free fall, and water attractions, like a log flume – but also children's and family rides divided into different themed areas.

Animal lovers can experience a wild safari tour in Serengeti Park south of Hanover with exotic animals from Africa, Australia, and North and South America up close. Here you can drive through the area with your own car or on a guided bus tour and observe roaming animals such as zebras, elephants, rhinos, giraffes, and lions. In various sections, it is also possible to walk through and see and feed animals like monkeys, lemurs, or birds in natural environments.

If you are looking for relaxation, the Therme Erding near Munich is a true oasis. In addition to a wave pool that generates waves up to two meters high, 28 slides await you – including the longest tube slide in Europe and a virtual reality slide. If you prefer something quieter, you can relax in the   or in the textile-free sauna paradise with over 24 themed saunas and steam baths. During the given time window until departure, you can freely organize this time by visiting restaurants or sightseeing in the area. You can also book a city tour or a guide to enjoy a guided tour.
