It is difficult to pick a highlight from our tour as everything from arrival at Bath to departing our Hotel in Gloucester as everything was excellent. The facilities available at the Hotel were superb, with everything available for the boys to do from swimming to golf & squash.

The Bath experience was wonderful and the boys good behaviour got them an invitation to return from the coach.

Sunday's Rugby was challenging but a good game that bought our the best in Eton Manor. The hospitality afterwards was good natured and welcoming with good food and plenty of it.

I would like to say many thanks to Sky High Sports.

On behalf of my fellow coaches, the parents, players and I, I would like to thank you for your assistance in the organisation of our recent tour to Twickenham. The feedback from all who were on the trip has been that everyone had an absolutely fantastic time, and a truly memorable experience.

Everything ran like clockwork and your choice of accommodation was superb, it made the trip so much more enjoyable for the coaches and parents as the activities and staff at the PGL centre occupied the boys, never giving them an opportunity to get bored. This made our jobs so much easier and allowed us to relax and enjoy the tour without worrying about keeping the boys occupied and safe. I will strongly recommend it to anyone who is planning a mini, midi or youth rugby tour as it kept everyone happy.

Please pass on our thanks to Glyn School, Sutton and Epsom RFC and Epsom Coaches for being so accommodating. I know how difficult organising tour fixtures can be especially on non standard match days, so well done for finding these. I was very impressed by Sutton & Epsom As, but would fancy our chances in a return leg up north, after we had softened them up with our B team! Also great to see England win at Twickenham - something the boys will remember for years.

I am writing to you because I feel it necessary to inform you of the fantastic work you have done in order to send my U14's rugby team to Edinburgh during October half-term 2010.  Your company were excellent in every department, from the prior organisation to the final travel arrangements.

I was very surprised at the quick response to an email I sent you when requesting a quote for 26 boys.  The costing was very competitive and I had no choice but to go with your company, especially after a telephone conversation shortly after the quote, when I said to myself "this company is very enthusiastic and professional." 

Our tour of Edinburgh could not have gone any smoother, the pupils loved the paintballing and ghost tour but when I mentioned they were going to watch Edinburgh Vs Ulster at Murrayfield Stadium, (which I had kept from them during the build up to the tour) their jaws dropped.  They thoroughly enjoyed every second of the match and did not stop speaking about it for the rest of the night.

The two games we played could not have been pitched any better, with only a few points between the final scores of both our matches; they made for a splendid spectacle.  Many of our players positively commented on the referees, our players felt they developed their overall game play and even introduced them to new laws.

Finally, congratulations on a superb tour, your help during the trip with invaluable and I look forward to organising our next tour with you in two years.

For 12 years I have always organized our clubs travel throughout Europe and this is the first time I entrusted to a company specialising in sports tours.

The tour was organised in no time thanks to Richie at Sky High Sports. We met in Rovato during a Welsh Rugby teams' tour to Italy - and wanted to visit Wales in return!

Sky High Sports were responsive to the demands of the team and gave us the opportunity to personalise the tour.

The location of the Hostel was perfect and the bar made it a great base. Being adjacent to the Millennium Stadium was great also.

We played two excellent games with great hospitality, and we toured the Millennium Stadium which I highly recommend.

The support of Sky High Sports throughout the journey, from the moment we arrived until we departed was impeccable. We had a representative with us throughout - even during breaks in the programme.

Richie, thank you again for your help, and I will certainly contact Sky High Sports for our tour next year.

I would like to thank Richie and Sky High Sports for the fantasic tour they sorted out for us. From the first moment until the moment we got back, everything was faultless. Gent was excellent and I would highly recommend the Hostel we stayed at. The games you arranged were excellent and the hosts were very friendly and helpful. Many of the Dads are thinking of taking the WAGs back to Gent on a holiday!
