Testimonials

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY

“Another brilliant experience with SLT, I will not use anyone else to plan and deliver our school sport tours. This July we visited Barcelona with our Football and Netball teams. The whole experience from planning to delivery was professional and stress free. We played two football matches and two netball games. The care taken to target the correct opposition for our level of play meant that player experiences were optimal. The SLT tour guide who supported us on the trip was excellent. We we’re able to manipulate the itinerary where needed and nothing was too much hassle for Sam, our tour guide, to arrange. The accommodation and wider facilities for our stay were all perfect for large groups which further emphasises the thought and care taken to plan the whole experience. Well done SLT, we are already planning out next tour with you.”
“From beginning to end, SLT and Hayden Curtis were excellent. Nothing was an issue. Itinerary was flexible and the logistics were brilliant. An extremely smooth process. Especially with the aid of our tour rep… a legend of a person! Hotel accommodation, fixture strength and general understanding about what we wanted out of the tour was met on every level. I would highly recommend them and I look forward to working with them in the future.”
