With Lafayettecoachbuscompany.com, you get access to 18-passenger minibuses loaded with TONS of great features your group actually wants on a Lafayette trip!

You’ll also find power outlets and USB charging ports, flat-screen monitors with DVD or HDMI input, a PA system with wireless mic for tour guides or group leaders, and Bluetooth/AUX stereo so you can run your own playlist the whole way — whether that means zydeco for the ride into town or whatever the group votes on.
