Frequently Asked Questions

  • What destinations can my group travel to?

    Roberts Travel Group operate over 400 tours annually and have a catalogue of sample itineraries for UK and European destinations. We will discuss your group’s requirements and preferences, and create a bespoke package for your group.

  • How long before the trip should I start planning?

    For tours, we would recommend first time trip organisers look 12 – 18 months ahead, whilst experienced trip organisers may want 9 months to plan. We want all prices to be as accessible as possible and whilst financial climates ebb and flow, giving group members a long lead in time will help them plan ahead.

    For day trips, we would recommend working at least 3 months ahead.

    We can organise tours with less lead time, so do let us know if you would like to organise a last minute trip for you and your group.

  • Are you able to organise our accommodation?

    We’re able to organise every element for your group tour, from coach transport to accommodation, excursions and dining! Whatever your group’s needs are, our Group Travel Team can create a tailor-made travel package on your behalf.

  • What information do you require with our enquiry?

    We’ll need the name of the single point of contact that we should liaise with for all aspects of your group booking, together with travel dates, number of passengers, ideal destination and excursions and the budget you’d like to work to.

  • How to confirm a tour

    Once the proposal has been sent to you confirming the accommodation details and all other elements of your tour, we request a signed confirmation within 4 weeks of sending the proposal.

  • Do I have to pay a deposit?

    Once the tour has been agreed, a non-refundable deposit payment of £50.00 per passenger is due to secure your agreement, we request the deposit payment is paid within 1 month of contracting your booking.

  • When is the final balance due?

    Your final balance payment is due no later than 60 days prior to your travel date.

  • What if some of my group members have special requirements?

    We’re committed to assisting with any special requirements our passengers may have, such as ground floor rooms due to mobility and dietary requirements. Our team kindly request that special requirements are briefed into us at the time of booking, and we’ll then do everything we can to secure these bespoke passenger requirements.

  • What happens if people want to add on or drop off once the tour has been booked?

    If passengers add on, then this is fine subject to availability with the hotel and space on the coach. If passengers drop out, then unfortunately some fixed costs such as coach hire will be spread over a lower number of passengers, so you price may increase. However, this will never happen without a full discussion and we will work with you to limit any impact.
