Village Travel

Village Travel is a motorcoach operator founded in 1980, originally as Alpine Village Tours, and based on a fleet of more than 200 coaches. The company provides nationwide group motorcoach transportation, including charters, scheduled group tours, customized and private travel planning, entertainer coach services and tour trucking. It was acquired in 2000 by Norm and Jeff Arensdorf and operates from nine locations across the Midwest, with scheduled tours departing primarily from Wichita, Oklahoma City and Tulsa.

Technical work at the company centres on fleet maintenance and driver training, alongside advanced vehicle safety technology and onboard connectivity, including Wi-Fi and charging ports on selected coaches. The company states that it modernises its equipment continuously and maintains comprehensive maintenance and driver-training programmes as part of three operating priorities: exceptional service, modern equipment and rigorous safety. Its operations run with 24/7 customer assistance.

Village Travel plans more than 200 tours annually and serves clients including sports teams, military groups, church groups, corporate travellers, festivals, bands and entertainment acts, and camps. Its history began with ski trips and shuttles between Denver International Airport and nearby resorts, later expanding into charter trips and day excursions. Today its services reach nationwide across the United States, with a base of operations spanning Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri and Louisiana.
