“Travelled to New Zealand on 12th Feb for the two test series. For me I was doing the South Island tour after the tests finished. The organisation and guidance we received throughout was first class. Everything worked like clockwork. We were unable to visit Napier because of the cyclone. Elite quickly added another great activity. All the activities were of a high standard and worth doing. Hotels and transport connections outstanding. I would recommend Elite Sports Travel whole heartedly. Brilliant.”
