What can I say? Hugest thank to all involved. South Africa, and specifically Cape Town, stole our hearts. The tour truly exceeded all of our expectations. Every activity and every interaction with Kevin as our amazing fixer on the ground, and Faisal, our fabulous, dedicated coach driver throughout, were excellent. They both went above and beyond to be flexible and accommodate us.

An absolute pleasure working with your very dedicated team from planning to implementation. I can’t praise Craig Bones Head of Military Sales and Sports Tours team enough for such an amazing tour to South Africa. With Craig being ex armed forces, he clearly understood our needs and requirements and introduced us to some amazing people in country. We would really recommend Craig and the team for any tours overseas.

An amazing trip! It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for some of our kids, jam-packed from start to finish. The staff, both in the UK and Spain, were first class. Everything ran like clockwork, which from a leader’s point of view was all we could ask for.
