You arrive the same day with one driver; at least 1 compulsory break of 45 minutes is taken on the way. Under the regulations, drivers of passenger vehicles may not drive for more than 4.5 hours without a break or more than 9 hours in total within 24 hours; after 4.5 hours of driving, a break of at least 45 minutes is taken. Because of the speed limits for coaches and minibuses of 100 km/h on motorways and 90 km/h on dual carriageways, journey times are longer than by car.

Day trip or overnight stay?

As the return driving time exceeds the driver’s legal daily limit of 9 hours, a programme with at least one overnight stay is recommended instead of a day trip. On overnight tours, the vehicle and driver can stay with your group throughout the programme.
