The prospect of watching the All Blacks play on foreign soil is always a big draw-card for New Zealand Rugby fans. At the end of this year our Team will travel to five great stadium venues and play Tests against Australia at the Hong Kong Stadium (home to the famous Hong Kong Sevens each year), Scotland at Murrayfield, Ireland at Croke Park (the traditional home of Irish Rugby, Lansdowne Road, is being re-built), Wales at the Millennium Stadium at Cardiff Arms Park and England at Twickenham. What an opportunity!
Williment Sports Travel operators of “ALL BLACKS TRAVEL” – PROUDLY BY WILLIMENT have been organising Tours following the All Blacks for over forty years now. We have earned an enviable reputation for quality tour arrangements at a reasonable price. The experience and knowledge of our people is second to none. We do not skimp on inclusions, our hotels are centrally located and of a good standard, and above all we strive to provide good value for money and a lasting once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Our tours attract many couples, but we also have a fair number of men and women travelling on their own or with a friend. While the Rugby is the main reason for our Tours, the days in-between are filled with great touring experiences and fun social occasions. The social aspect of our tours is very important and, apart from the Rugby, we offer many great sightseeing, shopping and social opportunities. We also endeavour to build in plenty of spare time for people to ‘do their own thing’.
A testimony to our Tours’ success is the large number of ‘repeat’ clients that we welcome back time and again. The feedback we receive from them and the encouragement they offer, has inspired us to strive for greater improvements and innovations each time we design a new Tour.
For the tour in November 2008, we have put together a spectacular 35-Day “Grand Sights & Rugby Tour” with local guides on board most touring days, ample scenic & social inclusions and memorable meals and banquets as we journey through the best of Scotland, Ireland, Wales and England. There is also a 34-Day “Just the Rugby Tour” with less sightseeing and more time spent in the Test venue cities. Prior to both of these Tours there is a unique weekend Rugby experience in Hong Kong – for the All Blacks v Wallabies Test match there – on the way to the UK. At the conclusion of these Tours, we have an optional four-night extension stay in the heart of London and / or Paris.
We are also offering a 19-Day Short Tour including the Tests in the famous Stadiums at Dublin, Cardiff and Twickenham and time spent in three of Europe’s great cities; Dublin, Paris and London.
For the independent travellers we will be offering our popular Free Wheeler packages which will include return flights from New Zealand, two-nights accommodation and match tickets to each of the Test matches played on tour. These packages can be bought for individual matches or all together. Details and pricing will be available in April.
Scotland and Ireland, with their mythical Celtic heritage, green rolling hills and spectacular coastlines, are among some of the very best countries to visit in all of Europe. For many New Zealanders, it provides a link to their ancestors. The local people are friendly and welcoming and their respective music, song and dance, sense of humour and fun is unrivalled in the Rugby World.
I am delighted to advise that our “ALL BLACKS TRAVEL” – PROUDLY BY WILLIMENT – All Blacks Supporters Tours in 2008 will be once again led by some very experienced and well-known Williment Sports Travel tour leaders. The likes of Andy & Teresa Earl, Allan & Pauline Hewson, Richard & Felicity Loe, Dave & Jan Loveridge, John & Rae McBeth, Jon & Linda McLachlan, Murray & Carolyn Pierce, Keith & Anne Quinn and Bryan & Lesley Williams have all indicated their availability to lead our tours in 2008.
Everyone booking on our “ALL BLACKS TRAVEL” – PROUDLY BY WILLIMENT All Blacks Supporters Tours will receive a complimentary set of All Blacks branded Tour Gear. This will include a waterproof Jacket providing warmth and comfort in all weather conditions. We will have both mens and womens sizing for this Jacket. We have also included a Jersey from the adidas women’s range, and for the men, we have an All Blacks replica jersey. Completing the range will be an adidas All Blacks Cap (multi-fit) and an adidas All Blacks Lifestyle Scarf along with a packet of Silver fern badges to give away.
