 I have taken several tours with Sporta and they have always been nothing short of first class. From start to finish our requirements have always been central to what is planned and the key difference with Sporta is that they deliver and go the extra mile for us. A truly terrific experience

The accommodation was outstanding, just what the group needed and in a brilliant location. We had two boys hockey teams with us and both teams played two fixtures against very competitive opposition. Again, exactly what we needed to help prepare us for the rest of the season. All transport and transfers to/from airport were carried out with minimal fuss and plenty of flexibility. We had a Sporta rep, named Sandy, with us while on tour. She was extremely professional and helped the tour run smoothly, while maximising the opportunities for the pupils. Michael, who was our tour manager based in the UK, was outstanding throughout. Again, very knowledgeable and professional. I would thoroughly recommend a tour with Sporta to any school/sports team. A big thank you from GWC. read less

 Sporta organised key elements in a very complex cricket tour for the rest of the world cricket team to play in the Seniors Cricket World Cup.

All done at short notice and against the backdrop of a collapsing £ and huge hikes in air fares… yet we still pulled the tour in on budget. Sporta and their Australian agent went above and beyond in organising things beyond the original brief like airport to hotel and reverse transfers, function rooms and kit collection. As ever, a first class service. read less

 Sporta are very active in the local community - their support for East Dean & Friston Cricket Club amongst others locally has been invaluable

 Sporta helped run a hugely successful tour for 37 players to Barbados. Michael was very efficient from start to finish and helped managed to overcome any hurdles that Covid threw at us in the planning stages. Their reps on the ground in Barbados were massively knowledgeable and ensured everything ran smoothly. A great place to get a balance between cricket and leisure/experiencing local culture.

We thank Michael Craigs for his excellent work that ensured tour was able to happen. The liaison staff in Barbados were equally as helpful and definitely had our best interests at heart.
