What does coach hire to Duinrell cost?

For schools in South Holland the journey to Wassenaar is short, and then what counts most is how long the coach stays at the park. If your school is further away, the distance becomes the biggest item. With a small class and a short journey, a smaller vehicle may also do. What you finally pay depends on your place of departure, the type of coach and the date.
