      I would like to give your team at Total Sports Travel a very special thanks. My wife, Kathie and I have just recently completed our World Cup Bonanza Tour of New Zealand arranged by your team at Total Sports Travel. When we initially signed up for the tour, we thought it would be a Rugby tour with some sightseeing. However we were wrong. The effort and thought that went into the tour itinerary was unbelievable.We were fortunate enough to see alot of good Rugby but also we experienced a number of special attractions that are only available in New Zealand. The friendly attitude of you office team as well as the tour leaders was great. Special thanks should also go to the Tour Leader, Mr Dick Marks, his ability to cater for all the special needs of sure a diverse group was exceptional. The standard of accommodation and variety of tours ensured each day was going to rival the previous day. In closing please thank all those involved, their efforts made a great trip even better. Regards Stan and Kathie Wood (P.S. I've attached a few photos of Mike Jones at a glacier, could you pass them on to him) Good afternoon Kate, I would like to give your team at Total Sports Travel a very special thanks.

      Thank you for organising the fantastic RWC2011 tour ! It was well organised, accommodation was pretty good and so was all the arranged outings and Dick was an excellent tour guide. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and would definitely consider doing it again should there be another tour in 4 years’ time !!
