Ensemble Tours

Our services for ensembles

Whether a wind band on its club trip, a choir singing in a cathedral or an orchestra on tour: we organise the travel so you can focus on the music. As single services or as a complete arrangement, anywhere in Europe.

Ensemble Tours organises travel for music groups: concert tours, guest performances, tours, festival visits, rehearsal weekends and music camps. We work for amateur ensembles such as choirs, wind bands, orchestras and music school ensembles, and for professional ensembles, concert agencies, festivals and tour promoters. Coaches of every size, rail, flights and ferries, accommodation for every budget and catering all come from one source. We clarify in advance how instruments and equipment travel: in the coach, in a dedicated van or in a tour truck. If visas or carnets are needed, we take care of them. On request we support the organisation of performances and put together a sightseeing programme. Ensembles come from all over the world; we run tours exclusively in Europe.

What we take care of

Coaches of every size

Direct access to a network of coaches of every size and specification, plus minivans and limousines for soloists and conductors. Larger projects include a dedicated dispatcher.

Rail, flights and ferries

Group tickets, individual arrivals and departures of single members, group and charter flights, ferries from short crossings to overnight sailings with cabins. Rail and coach can be combined, flexible and as sustainable as possible.

Accommodation and catering

From simple hostels to boutique hotels, always to the group's brief and with an eye on location. Catering at the hotel, in a restaurant, on the road or at the venue; budget and choices such as vegan or vegetarian are agreed in advance.

Instruments and equipment

We clarify in advance whether instruments and equipment travel in the coach or need a van or tour truck. Pure specialist freight is arranged through partner forwarders.

Customs, visas and carnets

If visas are needed or a carnet for instruments and equipment, we take care of it.

Advance planning and day plans

The more detailed the advance planning, the more relaxed the tour. Our day plans settle the questions for everyone involved before departure.

Performances and programme

On request we support the organisation of performances and put together a sightseeing programme.

Support and billing

Support throughout the project and billing with controlling and a cost breakdown. Single services or the complete arrangement.

„On every tour one of us is personally reachable, from the first concept to the last concert."
