“Our cricket trip to Barbados exceeded all our expectations. Howzat Travel certainly know how to do things properly! At no stage throughout the week did we ever feel uninformed or left to fend for ourselves. Des and Linda were brilliant, and the Bougainvillea Beach Resort was top quality accommodation. Howzat travel are a very professional outfit and we will have no hesitation in using you again in the future. It was a dream honeymoon for me and Gill, and truly a week of great memories that will stay with us forever. Thanks for everything – it was absolutely wonderful!”

John Williams & Shelley Lewis

“A thoroughly enjoyable tour and spot-on value for money. Pre-tour, booking arrangements were very straightforward and we received an excellent information package of everything we needed to know. On tour, the transfers were excellent – the drivers were always cheerful and good fun. Excellent communications too – the notice boards were always updated and Carl, Phil, Des, Linda & Dave were brilliant – always available and always smiling! Thank you for a great holiday.”
Steve Thomas

“We both thoroughly enjoyed the tour, met some nice people and had a great time. Would certainly consider going with Howzat Travel again. Excellent value for money and Carl, Linda, Phil & Des were all great – very approachable, friendly and ready to help.”
Ted & Liz Williams

“A thoroughly enjoyable trip and we are very glad that we went. Everything was easy and well-organised. All pre-tour information was clear and provided everything we needed. Our tour manager Des was a wonder! His quiet and complete knowledge of cricket and life made this holiday for us. He was a joy to listen to and learn from! He also made sure we knew where to find him and made it clear that he was always available if required, which was very reassuring.”
Martin & Janet North

“As this was our first tour with you, we felt that you met all of our expectation. We thoroughly enjoyed the locations, the cricket and the opportunity to meet some of the names behind the game. The tour managers were very friendly and professional throughout the tour. ”
Ian White & Ann Merricks

Anne Jacob

“This was my first tour and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Pre-tour, any questions I had were answered promptly and accurately. On tour, accommodation on both islands was excellent, as were the transfers. The other tourists were good company and the tour managers were excellent, especially Linda & Dave who made sure everybody was involved. The tour was very good value for money and I will definitely use Howzat Travel again. ”
Gerry McDermott

“Fantastic! Friendly, approachable staff, and we met some great guys (who I intend to keep in touch with) in the middle of paradise. Memories I’ll never forget! We were greeted by Howzat Travel staff at the check-in at Gatwick. Pre-tour, I was asked if we would like tickets in the shade, and that’s exactly what we got! The Jolly Beach accommodation was better than most 4-5 star hotels I’ve been to – not a single complaint can be made. Transfers were all on time and comfortable, and the tour managers were fantastic – there was always someone on hand for any queries. Special thanks to Dave and Linda who made this tour extra special, and to Des who was a great laugh!”
John Moore

“I had a very enjoyable tour. This was my first tour and I found the Howzat Travel staff very good and helpful, and the hotels were in good positions. Good value for money too. Thank you again, and I look forward to seeing the Howzat team again soon.”
Albert Smith

“A very enjoyable tour. We would just like to thank Linda, Dave, Carl and Des for ensuring our first tour was so very memorable. We made some good friends and everyone had wonderful cricket tales to tell. The Jolly Beach in Antigua was very special and although completely different, the Butterfly Beach in Barbados had great rooms and a great position. The cricket was not always of the highest standard, but that did not matter…the tour managers, the venues and the great company more than made up for it. We cannot thank you enough, and having thought long and hard, we can’t think of anything you could change. Thank you very much for a wonderful time. We will definitely see you again.”
Dave & Betty Borrill

“Very good value for money, excellent arrangements including documentation, excellent seats at the cricket, very good transfer arrangements, and good quality information regarding all aspects of tour from the Howzat Travel tour managers.”

Colin & Sandra Williamson

“I enjoyed the holiday… overall, a great bunch of Howzat Travel cricket enthusiasts, with lots of good sociable banter. Linda in particular was an excellent tour manager who found time for socialising and chatting with everyone, whilst being efficient and proactive with all arrangements and planning. She was ably supported by Dave who was equally sociable and helpful to everybody. With luck I intend joining future tours.”

“We had a wonderful holiday in Antigua and Barbados. We loved Antigua and the Jolly Beach resort, and we thought the Bougainvillea Beach resort in Barbados was fantastic in all respects. The local drivers for the transfers to and from the cricket were extremely friendly, and the Howzat Travel staff were brilliant and we could not have wished for more. Des is a legend and was a pleasure to be around, as was Linda who is so good with people. Phil and Carl were also top notch. Our overall opinion of the tour was excellent booking arrangements, good value, good organisation and good tour managers. We would certainly use you again, and will definitely recommend you to our friends for future trips.”
Sue & Steve Knight

“We had a great cricket tour and I cannot speak highly enough about the tour managers – on the tour, Carl, Phil, Linda and Des were fantastic. The transfers to the airport and cricket were great, and the accommodation in Antigua was amazing. Everything went swimmingly and we would not think twice about booking with you again.”
John Ainscough & Sue Worthington

“Excellent! Very good pre-departure booking and arrangements, good match tickets located in the shade and behind the bowler’s arm, and very good tour managers.”
John Clark

“I just wanted to say a big thank you to Linda, Carl and Phil for everything you have done for us the past couple of weeks. We have had an amazing time in Antigua and Barbados. We thoroughly enjoyed your company and we have met some lovely people during our holiday. The cricket was not so great at times, but who cares?!”
Sue Harrop

“Another excellent tour. The cricket was good, the accommodation was good and more importantly, the rum flowed freely. Des and Linda were superb and a good reason to go on any future tour – to spend time with them. I won’t go on a overseas cricket tour with any other company!”
Paul Humphreys

“Thank you all for a great tour! As always, everything was taken care off. Special thanks to Carl, my room-sharer. I had a great tour, plenty of beer, laughs great company. Hope to see you in December for Sri Lanka!”

David & Val Farnell

“Thank you very much indeed for a fantastic tour to the West Indies. Over the years, l have travelled with Howzat Travel numerous times and the holidays / cricket tours have always been amazing. You are developing into a fabulous company and l certainly appreciate all you do for me personally. Carl, Des, Linda and Dave have done a tremendous job on this tour, and their customer service has been a real credit to themselves and the company. The excursions you offered in between the cricket were superb, especially both boat trips… swimming with the local fish and turtles, diving in the ocean and riding on jet skis. Unbelievable! It was superb to see England conquer the hosts in Antigua in the ODIs… unfortunately the same could not be said for the T20s!”
Andy Tipple

“A great tour! A lovely location for our accommodation, the transfers were first class and the seating at the cricket – exactly where we wanted to be. We really enjoyed the evening at Dennis’ cocktail bar and getting Colin Croft was a real coup. Our tour manager was Des – he even got up at 3.30am to ensure that we got away safely. If we could award a better score than 10/10 for him, we would. The rest of the team went out of their way to see to our needs… they were cheerful, bright and helpful. Thanks!”
Ian Emerson & Carolyn Sprott-Emerson

“We really enjoyed the combination of of three days cricket spread around three days of Jolly Beach life in Antigua. Very good value for money and excellent tour managers. Don’t change anything – the Howzat Travel brand dominates all of its rivals!”
Roger & Kate Ollier

“Excellent tour and very goood value for money. The tour managers always made themselves available, and were very approachable, polite and helpful in all aspects. Keep up the good work.”
M

“We thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing… friendly travelling companions, lots of food and drink, and of course, England won something! Before departure, the Howzat Travel team were all very efficient and helpful, and responded excellently to any queries we had. On tour, seats at the cricket, as usual, were very good indeed. The accommodation was spot on – the all-inclusive was a very good thing in our case. The tour managers were excellent – friendly and helpful at all times. This was my wife’s first time on tour – she had a great time,and so did I. I think we will return to the West Indies with Howzat Travel next year for the tests!”
Tony Hewson

“A thoroughly enjoyable tour. Good seats at the cricket, with a good view and in shade most of the day.”
