Setra TopClass double-deckers, Neoplan Skyliner and Van Hool Astromega with driver included. The solution for very large groups, sightseeing tours and multi-day trips – compare individual offers from verified bus companies.
What is a double-decker bus?
A double-decker bus doubles the seating capacity of a standard coach without taking up more length. With two floors, 60 to 80 seats, premium comfort, galley, toilet and often a lounge area on the lower deck, it's the first choice for very large travel groups, band tours or panoramic sightseeing. Typical models include Setra S 431 DT TopClass, Neoplan Skyliner, Van Hool Astromega, MAN Lion's Coach Supreme and Mercedes Travego SHD. Important: not every route is open to double-deckers (bridge height restrictions) – the provider checks routing in advance.

When does a double-decker make sense?
Four typical occasions for very large groups of 60 or more – from major weddings to festival arrivals.
Very large groups over 50 people
Major wedding with 75 guests, school trip with two full classes plus teachers or large club tour – instead of chartering two coaches, a double-decker brings everyone in one vehicle. Saves logistics, coordination and often even cost.
Sightseeing and panoramic tours
City tour with panoramic views from the upper deck, Mosel wine tour or Alpine panorama trip – the upper deck with large windows offers a travel experience no standard coach can deliver.
Multi-day trips with comfort demands
10-day Italy tour, Scandinavian round trip or pilgrimage with a large congregation – double-deckers offer a lounge area for breaks, often extended legroom on the upper deck and premium fittings for long routes.
Concert and festival arrivals
Festival crew of 70, concert group trip from a fan club spanning multiple cities or festival camping arrival with large equipment – the double-decker brings everyone plus material in one trip.
