Request a tourTOUR LOUNGE organises coach transfers and touring days for choirs and orchestras across Europe: from an airport transfer to a concert trip to a multi-week tour, since 2003, with one point of contact for every country.
Instruments are part of the plan, not freight: storage, cases, rack systems and support vehicles are settled before the tour. We drive by day; your ensemble sleeps in a hotel.

Your advantages with TOUR LOUNGE
Flexibility to suit you
We plan tours and individual stages of tours with full flexibility and consistent standards across Europe.
Secure transport
Each transfer is discussed in advance with everyone involved and meticulously planned.
Consistent vehicles
We help you create a consistent look with discreet vehicles to transport your orchestra or choir to each venue.
Lead drivers
Our lead drivers guarantee everything will run smoothly and are your first point of contact at each location.
Coach transport to suit you
A consistent, discreet fleet of coaches is usually used for large orchestras. You can choose to brand some or all of them with the logo of your ensemble and/or your cultural sponsors.
The interior prioritises safe transport of valuable instruments. For more comfort on longer journeys, tables and lounge areas can be provided.
Our services
Tour planning requirements
Choirs and orchestras sometimes prefer trains or planes for certain journeys during their tour. We guarantee consistent standards across Europe, plan every leg with full flexibility, and a new crew with similar vehicles will be waiting at your next destination.
Transporting instruments
Before the tour begins we establish where and how instruments are stored and transported: on adjacent seats or in specially made cases and shelf systems. This ensures all musicians can relax and enjoy the journey.
Vehicle fleet for transfers
Each transfer is discussed in advance and meticulously planned. The lead driver and the other drivers are thoroughly briefed and ready with the right vehicles and the requested equipment.
Eco-friendly tours
Whenever possible we avoid journeys with empty vehicles, often working with local transport partners. If required, we calculate the CO2 emissions of these journeys so you can offset them.
Frequently asked questions from choirs and orchestras
Who handles ground transport for an orchestra touring Europe?
TOUR LOUNGE plans and drives orchestra tours in more than 25 European countries with one point of contact for every leg. Send us your itinerary and you will receive a quote with vehicles, drivers and schedule within 24 hours.
How are instruments such as cellos, harps, double basses or timpani transported?
Before the tour we agree for each large instrument where and how it travels: on the seat next to the musician, in custom cases, in rack systems in the luggage bay, or in a separate support vehicle. Loading and storage are part of the tour plan.
Can we combine some legs with train or plane?
Yes. Choirs and orchestras often use rail or air for individual legs. We plan the handover points, meet the group at the next stop with a fresh crew and comparable vehicles, and keep the standard identical in every country.
How many people and how many coaches?
From a minivan for soloists and conductor to several coaches or a double-decker for large ensembles with more than 100 members. For large orchestras we use a uniform, discreet fleet, branded on request with the ensemble or sponsor logo.
Who is reachable during the tour when the schedule changes?
A lead driver is your first contact on site and our office is available around the clock during the tour. After the concert the coach leaves when the orchestra is ready, not the other way round.
Do you name references?
No. We work for ensembles and artists who value discretion and therefore never name clients. What we can show: our processes, our vehicles and a quote for your specific tour.
