“We would highly recommend Howzat for anyone considering doing a cricket tour. The staff and our fellow travellers were a great bunch of people. This was our first Howzat (or any) cricket tour and was the holiday of a lifetime.”
Steve & Deborah Castle

“As usual, Howzat Travel came up trumps again. They have put themselves on a high plateau now over the last few years and we hope they can maintain these standards and your glowing and burgeoning reputation. I think it speaks for itself that the Howzat group in NZ was bigger than all the other groups added together!”
James & Annette Owen

“My first tour abroad to watch England. A truly wonderful experience. Brilliantly organised and great value for money. The tour hosts were excellent and the whole organisation ran well. Nick and Carole looked after us superbly on the South Island Tour. Charlie as the Red Tour Manager, what can I say… He was hospitable, knowledgeable, approachable, organised, supplier of pens, everything really you need in a ‘tour rep’. A great advert for our company. Top bloke! When researching the tour Howzat were the cheapest and appeared to offer best value for money. Others were looking to charge the same I paid for the whole tour including the South Island tour for just the test matches. It was great way to enjoy the country you are visiting and meet likeminded people. The addition of a couple of Q&A sessions with cricketing celebrities were a great addition to the tour. Howzat are the company to use. I will be using them again for future tours.”
Dave Weston

“We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and found that the group, though large, gelled very well. Our Tour Manager, Phil, was always very pleasant, available and helpful. We look forward to going on another tour soon.”
Lorna & Bernard Harper

“Howzat Travel looked after us from start to finish. our travel arrangements were never too much trouble for the staff and they were happy to accommodate us with bespoke travel arrangements. The tour was professionally managed, and any unexpected problem were quickly dealt with by Phil Brown, our friendly tour manager. We would not hesitate to book with Howzat Travel again.”
Julien & Ann Mitchell

“The booking process was clear and straightforward. If there was any query it was quickly resolved over the phone. We chose Howzat because it looked like value for money and it was.”
Rob & Judy Naylor

“A great tour, especially the South Island tour, unbelievable scenery!”
Anon

“The overall tour was excellent, and the pre and post sightseeing options were just about the right length. Having Sir Richard Hadlee at the leaving dinner was a treat. The venue was very good too. It was our 3rd tour with Howzat and was excellent, the tour leaders were first class and a thoroughly good time was had even after the first session at Eden Park! Still waiting for our first overseas win!”
David & Julia Wilson

“This was our first tour and we were very pleased with the outcome, a very professionally organised tour.”
Anon

“As ever, everything went smoothly. I cannot fault the work done by “Cheeky Chappie Charlie” ( well come on he has got the look!!). Also, on the South Island Tour the assistance given by Nick “the Super Cool ex Rugby Number 5” and his wife “ex Head Mistress” Carol was very good. Big thanks to Carol for the help she gave my tour pal John “The Tractor Boy”, when he was taken ill on the bus ride back from Milford. I would recommend that anyone who thinks about going on an overseas cricket tour looks up “Howzat Travel”. My third tour now and all excellent!”
Dave Mathias

“Mine was a very bespoke tour – the cricket was only a minor part of it. I am extremely grateful for the way Howzat Travel staff worked round this. They provide seemingly unlimited flexibility for me (and anyone else) to design their own tour round your multiple-choice offerings – which is great.”
John Waller

“Our Tour Managers Gordon, Nick, Carole and Charlie were approachable, friendly and helpful. Good fun with good people and I made some new friends. Thanks, Howzat Travel.”
David Lowe

“It was great to meet up with old and new friends, to share such a beautiful country as New Zealand. I felt as if Howzat showed me the best that the country had to offer.”
Anon

“All the hotels were excellent, and we can’t fault Nick and Carol, nothing too much trouble and always helpful and with great humour. Helped to get my insulin delivered after I left in previous hotel 11/10. The whole tour was start to finish – Excellent.”
James & Linda Leith

“Superb. A holiday of a lifetime – no! Only because there are plenty of other places I’ll go and see with Howzat over the coming years. Thank you Howzat for a fabulous holiday.”
Paul Taylor

“Enjoyed everything, all people friendly and helpful.”
Mervyn Yates

“I think Howzat is a slick organisation – the Tour Managers are excellent and very friendly, the company sorts out individual requests very well.”
Anon

“Our Tour Manager, Phil Brown was superb. As was Tony. Very well organised, calm and in control. Probably like swans, paddling furiously underneath, but we can’t praise them enough. A huge ‘WELL DONE’ from us both and a big thank you. We will, and have done, recommend Howzat Travel to anyone looking to go on a well-organised cricketing tour. Great value for money and very well organised. Thanks to you all at Howzat Travel.”
Trevor & Jennifer Ware

“I really appreciate how enthusiastic the Howzat Travel team are about helping people design their own bespoke tours around their packages.”
Anon

“Very happy with the arrangements – the upgraded ticket offered at Mt Maunganui was excellent and really helped our enjoyment. The effort taken with providing folding chairs for the grounds with grass bank seating was also much appreciated.”
Jason Rowley

“I loved the Bay of Islands to start the tour, it was very relaxing. The hotels were all to a good standard and our Tour Managers, Gordon and Charlie were excellent – 10/10!”
Andy May

“I took the hospitality package in Christchurch Hagley Oval. It was excellent. You could sit in shade or sun, drinks and food provided. The standard of the food was high, much better than the burger and chips generally available. Good viewing position and pleasant staff. I enjoyed Richard Hadlee at the farewell dinner also.”
Anon

“The accommodations were excellent and Carol and Nick were very good managers. Nothing too much trouble! 9/10 – The tour will always be remembered!”
Brian Found

“All well-organised and ran smoothly, with Charlie always on the case.”
Phil Mellows

“This was my 2nd tour with Howzat and once again it was an outstanding experience in a great city. I look forward to touring with you in West Indies next year!”
Mark Goddard

“My request for pre-tour visit to Hamilton for the warm up matches and sightseeing in Auckland handled efficiently and promptly.”
Anon

“Cricket Rubbish, weather iffy but that’s not Howzat’s fault!  In all matters they could control it was excellent.  A special mention is appropriate about the excellent end of tour dinner and Richard Hadlee interview with Aggers.”
Geoff Marshall

“This was our eight time with Howzat. We’ve enjoyed them all. To be honest, we’ve not felt the need to go with anyone else!”
David & Mary Rance

“Very enjoyable tour.”
Roger Marbrow

“I would change absolutely nothing. Top class from beginning to end.”
Steve Haycock

“Charlie was excellent and did his job well. He didn’t let me down and joined in many meals and drinks in the evenings with our group. Once again, another excellent tour, thanks Howzat Travel.”
