What our customers say about us

"Excellent experience."

“It was my first time in Barbados and for me, it was a fantastic tour from start to finish! Superbly organised by Don Topley and his team, it provided the right balance between the cricket, organised events, socialising and personal relaxation time. Don's intimate knowledge of the island was a real plus with his island tour being an excellent experience. Well done Smile Group Travel!”

Pete Robson, Over 50s Cricket Festival

"Many thanks to Smile for giving the boys their first opportunity at recognising what is involved in a rugby tour!"

"The boys had two great fixtures against tough opposition. They were hosted in true Irish style! The hotel was perfect for what the boys needed, we were very well looked after. Many thanks to Smile for giving the boys their first opportunity at recognising what is involved in a rugby tour!"

Philip Friel, Campion School, Dublin Rugby Tour

"I look forward to using Smile on future tours"
