Coach hire with driver in Venice
When a group is too big for a minibus, a charter coach is the comfortable way to travel in and around Venice. Full-size coaches typically seat about 45 to 57 passengers (approximate), midi coaches about 20 to 35.
Groups charter a coach in Venice for sightseeing at St. Mark's Square, the Rialto Bridge and the Grand Canal, transfers to conferences, concerts and sports venues, and bus day trips to Verona, Lake Garda, the Dolomites and Padua. Multi-day coach tours can start in Venice and continue to Chioggia, Treviso and San Donà di Piave and further across Europe.
Good to know: Coaches stop at Piazzale Roma or Tronchetto. From there groups continue on foot or by boat.

Planning a charter coach in Venice
- Driving and rest times: professional drivers must follow driving and rest-time rules, so long days may need planned breaks, a second driver or an overnight stop.
- Drop-off points: many city centres restrict where coaches can stop and park; the driver plans drop-off and pickup points close to your sights in Venice.
- Luggage and equipment: tell us about suitcases, instruments or sports gear so the bus has enough hold space.
- Book early: coach availability is tighter in peak season and during big events, so request your coach in Venice as early as possible.
