Hi George,

We’ve been back in class for just over 2 weeks now (I can’t believe it!) since our trip with you.  I want to take this opportunity to say THANK YOU once again for everything.  The girls, myself, Jane, Janine and Josh had an amazing time and I’ve heard nothing but good words.  The girls came home with huge smiles and lots of stories of a great experience and happy memories.

Our driver Ian was a rockstar!  The girls’ loved him.  Very well suited for this type of trip and age group.  Personable and fun!  Michelle was also great.  I appreciated that she was flexible, organised, and always one step ahead.  Very lovely to work with.  Very genuine and a good choice for a high school girls’ group.

The two training sessions we had were terrific.  Very knowledgeable coaches and well-run sessions.  Overall the game fixtures were good. Venues were suitable, all coaches flexible and prepared, and we received great hospitality from all the clubs.

The food was delicious, and the accommodations were very comfortable. Hospitality and general organisation of the trip was very well done and appreciated.  Value of the trip also exceeded expectations.  Our students were busy and engaged the whole time and received an absolutely amazing experience.

As a trip leader and head coach, this was my first time planning an international rugby tour for high school students.  I would definitely travel with Irish Rugby Tours again in the future and plan to recommend Irish Rugby Tours to other club and school groups.

Thank you for a fantastic experience.
