In a few kilometres of coastline, Versilia packs in the Viareggio Carnival, the beach clubs of Forte dei Marmi, the sculpture studios of Pietrasanta, the Puccini Festival at Torre del Lago and some of Italy's best known nightlife. It is also a place where, on a summer weekend or a Carnival Sunday, parking is essentially impossible — which is why hiring a coach with a driver in Versilia is usually the only sensible way to move a group.
We cover the whole coast — Viareggio, Lido di Camaiore, Marina di Pietrasanta, Forte dei Marmi, Marina di Massa — with 26+1 minibuses and 51+1 grand tourers, and we are available 24 hours a day, late returns included.

Group beach days
Clubs, associations, summer camps and company outings: departure from your meeting point, return when you decide.

Where we go on the Versilia coast
- Viareggio — the Liberty-style promenade, the Carnival workshops, the harbour and the shipyards
- Forte dei Marmi — the pier, the famous Wednesday market and the historic beach clubs
- Pietrasanta — the “little Athens” of sculptors, with marble and bronze studios open to group visits
- Lido di Camaiore and Marina di Pietrasanta — quieter beaches, better suited to families and large groups
- Torre del Lago Puccini — the composer's villa on Lake Massaciuccoli and, in summer, the opera festival
- Apuan Alps and Carrara — the marble quarries, spectacular for study trips and technical visits
🎭 Viareggio Carnival: on parade days the seafront is closed and the whole traffic plan changes. Book well ahead and agree the pick-up point with us in advance — when the parade ends, tens of thousands of people move at once, and knowing exactly where the coach is makes all the difference.

Frequently asked questions
Do you run services late at night?
Yes, we are available 24/7. The driver takes you back at the agreed time, even at three or four in the morning — one of the main reasons groups call us in summer.
How early should we book for the Viareggio Carnival?
As early as you can. Carnival Sundays are among the busiest dates of the year across Tuscany; booking weeks or months ahead means better availability and better pricing.
Can the coach stop right at the beach club?
It depends on the traffic arrangements at the time: parts of the seafront are restricted and have reserved stopping areas. We agree the closest possible drop-off and pick-up points in advance.
Can you organise shuttles for a wedding in Versilia?
Yes. We plan the runs together: collecting guests from their hotels, the transfer to the ceremony, the move to the reception and staggered returns at the end of the night.
Is the minibus suitable for a small group?
Yes. The 26+1 seat minibus is designed for small and medium groups and is more manoeuvrable on coastal and village roads. Larger parties travel in the 51+1 grand tourer.
