What hosts have said…

It was fantastic to welcome 70 group organisers to Hull and Beverley. A hugely successful visit generating amazing feedback and enquiries which will hopefully lead to confirmed bookings.
Visit Hull & East Yorkshire

We were very happy with the Reader Trip and had a lot of positive feedback on the day. We found the service prior to the event and the representative on the day very professional.

We would strongly encourage any attraction or destination considering hosting a Readers’ Trip to take the opportunity, you won’t regret it. The value goes far beyond the event itself…

What readers have said…

Of all the fam trips I’ve done this has been the biggest surprise. And I’ve worked out which route I’d like to take with my group.

Hans Wilke, German Association and Church

I look forward to doing further fam trips if the destinations suit my group, as after nearly 30 years of offering holidays etc., it is becoming more difficult to find original ideas and some of my group have been with me that long.

Pat Disley, Theatreplus

We’ve had the most wonderful experience; we’ve been to places we haven’t been before. I would certainly bring a group and quite likely next year – I’ve already made enquiries.

Margaret Thorpe, Knowle & Sevenoaks U3A
