Venatour Sports Travel - Cheltenham

Christopher Veale

An excellent tour to the Breeders' Cup at Del Mar. Arrangements were well planned, and the atmosphere good. The pick ups at the racecourse were really slick, we were back at the hotel in no time, likewise to and from the airport with no stress. Simon was a great tour manager, giving us all the information we needed, but allowing us to do our own thing if we wanted. The hotel choice was a great location downtown and good quality. Having a seat at Del Mar was great to use as a base to go an explore further around the course.
I would definitely recommend Venatour and will be looking to book future trips myself.

I organised a party of 7 of us to go to the Pardubice. It was an excellent trip everyone of our group agreed we would definitely recommend and go again with Venatour. Thank you Marc & Simon & Hazel for making it such an easy and fun trip.

Absolutely amazing, from start to finish!
I wanted to organise a trip to the races as a surprise for my husband’s 40th. I contacted Venatour about their trip to Chantilly for the Prix du Jockey and Marc was very informative and helpful, the price was very reasonable and based on the information and reviews, I booked it!
The actual trip was just phenomenal. We met some lovely people, we learnt so much and we experienced the most wonderful weekend. The organisation was second to none; the hotel was perfect and the location was right opposite the Hippodrome.

From Marc’s knowledge and contacts, we got to spend a day at Nicolas Clement’s stables, we had wonderful seats for the races along with another stables tour, something we would not have experienced if I hadn’t booked with Venatour. The trip was the right mix of activities and leisure time and we both thoroughly enjoyed it.

I would not hesitate to book again with Venatour and hope we get to go on another one in the future.
Thank you Marc for organising such a wonderful weekend, you were the perfect host!

We absolutely loved our trip to the Velka Pardubika.
From start to finish it was professionally run with everything organised yet there was plenty of time to do your own thing exploring Prague.
Highly recommended

We have just returned from a tour to Antigua with Venatour to watch the cricket between England and the West Indies. Everything about the organisation was super and made very easy for us. The accommodation and catering at Hodges Bay were excellent, the travel arrangements worked like clockwork and the tour manager, Alister, was superb. The whole trip was immensely enjoyable and certainly exceeded our expectations. We are keen cricket fans but had never been to a match abroad before, and that experience was wonderful, our seats provided an excellent view of the game. The trips Venatour put on, an island safari and swimming with stingrays, were both great fun. There was a lot of Caribbean food and rum cocktails to try. One of the highlights was a ‘Legends dinner'. My wife was thrilled that she got photos of herself with Ian Bishop, Richie Richardson, Darren Sammi, Shai Hope and David Gower. All the staff at Venatour were very helpful and friendly, particularly Alex and Lauren. The whole holiday was wonderful and we will certainly go to Venatour for future sports tours.

Just got back from the White Turf Horse Racing in St Moritz with the trip organised through Venatour sports travel. The organisation, friendly atmosphere, entertainment were all second to none. We had a great trip thanks to Marc and his friendly and knowledgeable approach. We would definitely recommend to anyone who wants that five start sporting experience! Cheers to future travels with Venatour!

This was my first trip with Venatour and was not sure what to expect.
From the moment we met up with Mark and Simon they made everything a pleasure.
The people on the trip had one common bond the love of horses so there was plenty to talk about and stories to be told and listened too.
The visits to the course was excellent and well organised the meals were of good quality and plentiful.
I was struggling with my lungs but was so well looked after by Martin and Simon and not forgetting other travellers.
OK what could be changed
Well the hotel walk up the steep hill but now i know all we need to do is pick up a phone and talk to you to get a hotel that would suit better.
All in all a great trip well priced, all with the added extras of Mark Simon and HOTS Sam and Eloise.
Thank you again and i will be booking with you hopefully soon
