Great Experience
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.

Burleigh were a great partner to work with for our Rugby tour this season. They kept us informed at all times leading up to the tour weekend, they were responsive to emails/phone calls, and on the day they ran the festival very well.

Roundhegians in Hilversam
The whole from start to finish was brilliant, coach company and drivers were very helpful and friendly, made the travel experience enjoyable.
The venue where we stayed was by perfect, loads going on for the lads to do, our trip into Amsterdam was memorable and the tournament was very well run and unfortunately we had a serious injury but the medical team both at the tournament and at the hospital were excellent.
Would recommend this trip and Burleigh Travel to other sporting teams.

TRFC U15 Catalan Tour
I recently recently a rugby tour to Spain for 63 tourists (27 players, 36 coaches, parents, sibling). The cost was very competitive.
Transfer, hotel facilities location and itinerary perfectly suited our requirements and expectations.
Burleigh guided me through the process and answered all my questions promptly and comprehensively.
It was great fun and definitely created life long memories for the boys

Excellent Tour To Netherlands!
Booked the tour with Burleigh last season for this Easter to Hilversum International Youth Rugby Festival. All the info was clear, we knew exactly what payments were due etc and when. Comms all by email so had hard copies of everything. All info required was in the final travel pack as well.
Local bus company used, everything went to plan and a great time had by all!
Would definitely recommend Burleigh to organise a tour, does take a lot of the stress out of it especially for international travel, organising of ferries, timings etc.

We travelled to The Netherlands for the Hilversum festival over the Easter weekend. Had a fantastic weekend, we opted for the premium accommodation which was absolutely fantastic and even came with it’s own mini sauna! This was our second year with Burleigh travelling to the Hilversum festival and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves on both occasions and would definitely recommend the premium upgrade. Thanks to Scott and the burleigh team for making it a great tour 👍.

Pinner Rugby Club end of season tour. Touring with Burleigh Travel is so easy…
Touring with Burleigh Travel is so easy from start to finish. The company provides excellent literature in reference to the tour itinerary, what you read is what you get. As a club we have travelled 3 times with Burleigh. Once many years ago and twice this year and last year. When you arrive on the tour you are greeted at the arrival meeting then on the rugby festival day the staff are at the tent to register you and are available throughout the festival for response to any questions you may have. At the festival the company work hard to match clubs in games so as they are equally matched.
Overall we at Pinner RFC have had a great experience when using Burleigh Travel, and will look at their tours that are available for the 2024 tour season.

After 2 years of Covid disruption we finally got to tour again, and what a fantastic tour it was! The whole team from Burleigh were fantastic, both in the lead up to the festival and over the weekend itself. Carolyn was always on hand to answer questions and it was lovely to meet her and the team in person at the festival. We had a brilliant weekend and wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again! Roll on 2023!

Under 12s Rugby tour at the Big Devon Bash- wow!
We have just returned from a Bank Holiday weekend away on rugby tour with the Stroud under 12s and it was a fantastic experience for the whole family! The accommodation that was organised for us was in Looe, Cornwall and the tournament at Ivybridge RFU. The quality of the accommodation and site was perfect, entertainment, a take away restaurant, a lovely park and pool and lots of open green space for the children to play. The tournament its self was very well organised and the boys had a fabulous time. We’ll be buzzing for weeks and will definitely use Burleigh Travel again.

Fantastic Tour!
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!

Fantastic Service. Highly recommend.
From start to finish the Burleigh Travel team were fantastic in all elements of communication, organisation and coordination on behalf of our U15’s Rugby Team who stayed at South Bay Holiday Park, Brixham and participated in the Big Devon Bash 2023. The accommodation was excellent and event ran smoothly on the day. It was great to also meet some of the Burleigh team who were very hands on the day of the tournament. Thanks to Ivybridge RFC for hosting. Would highly recommend the team for future tour bookings and believe a large number of our M&J section are considering for 2024. Great service, thank you again.

Another Fantastic Tour
This was the second year Esher toured with Burleigh Travel and we had another fantastic time. We stayed in North Cornwall and participated in the Big Devon Bash. The festival itself was well organised and all the boys enjoyed playing the other teams. We stayed at Trelawne Manor Holiday Park and had a great time. We enjoyed the entertainment and facilities and the accommodation was clean and modern. All our communications with Burleigh through were good and they coped well with all our changes and additions.

Holywood Minis had a fantastic tour with Burleigh Travel. Stress and hassle free for coaches and a tremendous experience for all players. Well organised, excellent communication through the planning and lead up to the tour. Great facilities with outdoor pursuits activities that the kids loved. Superb opportunity for building confidence and team spirit. The rugby tournament was really enjoyable. We got 5 matches played with a great sense of good rugby values and camaraderie. Once we got on our coach everything ran like clockwork and as coaches we were left free to encourage and support rather than worry about any practicalities or logistics. It’s the first time our club had organised s tour through Burleigh travel and I would have no hesitation recommending it to the tourists who will be coming after us.

Rugby Tour- Highly recommend
We have just returned from our rugby tour to Dearne Valley.
From start to finish dealing with Burleigh has been fantastic, straightforward and simple.
All my emails were replied too quickly and efficiently. Any concerns or not quite understanding something they were on hand to help. They made the tour of 36 as easy as it could be and it really was.
Would highly recommend using this travel company. We will hopefully be returning with our younger teams!

St Julians in Malta is a fantastic destination for a rugby tour. The hotel was excellent and the resort has great bars and restaurants, with some good clubs for the younger members of the team. The hospitality shown by our host rugby club was great and the Maltese people were very friendly. Burleigh recommended this tour to us, and we at Chepstow rfc would wholeheartedly recommend it to any clubs in the UK.

Yatton Colts Amsterdam Rugby Tour
Just came back from rugby tour to Amsterdam, arranged by Burleigh Travel. This company are excellent and take all the stress out of arranging an overseas tour for a large group (44). When faced with industrial action by Port workers in Calais, they were onto it straight away and got us onto a different ferry to avoid the strike times. They have good relationships with the accommodation providers and also the host clubs. We played RC Gouda, who were fantastic hosts and really enjoyed having a UK club visit. We would definitely use Burleigh again. Arranging this type of tour from scratch would be very stressful, even without ferry disruption. They made it very easy!

Organising a Rugby Tour can always be daunting, especially Under 16s. Thanks to those at Burleigh Travel, took away the associated pressures, working to our budget and providing advise and suggestions to enhance our requirements.
Burleigh provided timely advise and realistic deadlines to submit information, in order to provide help. Staff remained in frequent contact ensuring our trip was successful, whilst meeting safeguarding measures, assuring parents. We look forward to working with Burleigh Travel in the future – sincere thanks to all involved.

Amsterdam 2022 Tour
Another fantastic and memorable experience with Burleigh Travel.
After waiting for this tour for a number of years it was truly worth the wait. Burleigh Travel organised a very enjoyable match against RFC Gouda, where the host were extremely accommodating. When we weren’t playing rugby, we had numerous activities to keep us entertained for the whole tour party. The accommodation and travel were all top notch making the experience even better. I would definitely recommend any sports club to use this company as they make the whole thing really easy to deal with, I will definitely be using them again as my tour provider.

Superb Amsterdam U22 rugby tour
Just returning home from our Burleigh travel rugby tour, this time with my two, young adult sons. What a fantastic time in sunny Amsterdam. Very smooth and efficient journey and comfortable coach travel. Very central hostel accommodation, great facilities, very clean, but basic rooms with excellent bathroom facilities.
The organised events ran very smoothly and were ideally suited to the needs of our mixed group. Great value Amsterdam river cruise and the organised fixture with Gouda RFC could not have been better. The rugby was competitive and their hospitality was second to none – we all came away feeling thoroughly enriched by the experience, reinforcing our belief in the extended rugby family. Overall, couldn’t fault the tour, thanks guys!

Rugby Tour to Amsterdam – July’22
Our u21s team has just returned from a cracking tour to Amsterdam. We stayed in central hotel with large communal areas which is great for a large group.
We played a match at Gouda RFC who are great.hosts – nice ground, competitive friendly rugby, abundant and welcoming hospitality for us after the match with many Gouda players and supporters joining us for food and refreshments.
For our day or rest, we went on a boat trip around the canals of Amsterdam – this worked really well for our large group.
We’d like to thank the team at Burleigh Travel for arranging and running a fun, trouble free and truly memorable tour.

I just wanted to say what a fantastic weekend we had. From U7 to U13 the players parents and coaches, all 297 of us have had the best tour to date. The organisation was top drawer and all seemed to flow perfect. The park was awesome as it was previously such a shame they are no longer hosting rugby festivals.
Anyway big high five to the whole team you smashed it.
Enfield Ignatians RFC U7-U13, Bournemouth Tour (April 2022)
As Chair of my local rugby club, I have arranged tours through Burleigh Travel for the last 2 seasons. 2020 was supposed to be our 3rd year in a row.
The organisation has always been spot on. The team are professional and dedicated, providing a hugely impressive service. Nothing is too much trouble.
The Covid-19 situation meant that this years' tour was cancelled. We have had multiple discussions and the team have maintained their professionalism throughout, during very trying times.
As a result, we are delighted to have committed to touring with them again in 2021, and very much look forward to doing so.
