Burleigh Travel Highlights

Ysgol Y Strades Netball and Rugby Tour of Canada 2015

Testimonials

  • Bridgend Athletic RFC U14s, U12s & U8s had a great weekend attending The Big Devon Bash. Burleigh Travel are one of only a few tour companies who can arrange for these three age groups to attend the same festival, stay at the same venue whilst not being overpriced.
    Many thanks to Chris, Scott, Carolyn and the rest of the Burleigh team for their assistance before and during the tour. It’s the second year we’ve used Burleigh travel and already looking to book again next year!

    Wow, where to start? So this was our inaugural tour and we quite frankly didn't know where to begin, other than the fact we wanted to go to the Big Devon Bash. We needn't have worried, Burleigh were superb throughout the whole process. Any questions, they were quick to respond any clarifications, they cleared up in no time and were responsive and clear throughout. The accommodation was more than adequate. It was clean and comfortable enough. Food pretty good, activities for the kids, could maybe be a bit better suited to the age group, (ZIP lining was really well received but Aero ball didn't really get the boys too excited). We stayed at Barton Hall PGL in Torquay. The festival itself was really well organised and there was a great atmosphere throughout. There was a slight mismatch in our first pool game, but I suppose that will happen sometimes. Saturday night back at the accommodation was a really great atmosphere. A cracking band "The Sound", lots of after tournament stories shared and new friends made. Just a great experience all round. Cant wait for next year.

    We used Burleigh travel to book a Rugby tour for 40 people (adults and children). The accommodation was great and the rugby tournament was well run with medals and a trophy for the best player. The staff were excellent and and always helpful over the phone and via email. We had to make changes along the way and they were always available and really accomodating and supportive.

    Please pass on our thanks to your team and also everyone at PGL for a very good weekend. The PGL site and staff were easily the best activity/accommodation I have been to over the 8 of these tours I’ve been on – every request was taken with a smile and dealt with well, the food was good, accommodation frankly palatial compared to many.

    The rugby on the Sunday was well run, the teams there all played hard but fair and in a good spirit and everyone was accommodating.

    Thank you from Hitchin Rugby club.

    Echo this!  My husband and son have come back smelly, tired but with huge smiles.

    Thanks all so much for your hard work putting the weekend together.  We’ve had loads of smashing feedback and already a question on the dates for the next tour.

    Big thanks to all the team,

    I recently led a tour of Minchinhampton RFC Colts to Amsterdam for the Hilversum Rugby Festival. What a fantastic experience. The festival itself was on of the best I have ever been to. Superbly well organised and great fun. Rugby standard was perfect to.
    Burleigh travels organisation of the trip was second to none. The bus was great, accommodation excellent for what we wanted and the guidance we received was perfect.

    I cannot recommend it enough. Boys and parents were delighted. We have already booked for next year.

    Thank you so much Chris Kite and the team at Burleigh

    This was the second year we have worked with Burleigh Travel to arrange our junior tour and again it was fantastic!
    All of the team are brilliant, helpful and friendly. Nothing is ever too much trouble and they are prepared for everything. The whole tour (just like last year) was arranged with precision and plenty of communication. We attended the West Country Tour this year and our lads had a great time! The accommodation and sire facilities were great, allowing for the parents to have fun too! The beach was great for training activities and there was plenty to do - the lads enjoyed a few hours at the theme park and we were able to get discounted tickets which was helpful. The festival was also well organised, good food facilities and hospitality too.
    Thank you for another great tour and we have already booked for next year! Thank you also for making arranging a tour so easy!
