Celebrating 30 Years of Roberts Travel Group

Since our founder Jonathan Hunt set off in 1995 with just one coach and a big idea, Roberts Travel Group has grown to become Leicestershire’s most trusted coach operator.
Today, we proudly run a fleet of over 100 vehicles. Last year alone, our coaches travelled more than a million miles – each one a testament to the care, reliability, and commitment to excellence that’s been at the heart of our journey from the very beginning.

Over three decades, every journey - whether around the corner or across the country—has been filled with milestones and memories.
Yet through it all, our small-business spirit has remained at the heart of everything we do, ensuring reliability, warmth and a personal touch.

As we mark this special milestone, we invite you to celebrate with us: the people whose passion made our story possible, the coaches that have carried our ambitions, and the remarkable achievements we’ve accomplished together.

Here’s to 30 years of shared adventures and to many more miles of memories yet to come!
