What it’s like watching cricket in India with Elite Sports Travel
This is the second time we have used Elite Travel for an overseas cricket tour. The first was in New Zealand in February 2023. The bar was set high in New Zealand and Elite Travel maintained its high standards in India, with a guided tour of the city of Hyderabad and superb tickets in a hospitality lounge with a great view of the play. Personalised travel provided from our hotel to and from the ground. I would recommend Elite Travel without hesitation.
