Jon & I had a fantastic time in Antigua. Thanks to your efforts we could not have been happier with things – as a ‘return client’ I would not have booked with you again if my previous tour with you to south Africa had not also been a success! All the best
Regards, Neil & Jon
 
James, Matthew and myself thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Antigua with LWTL’s and only wish we had been able to continue to Barbados for the T20’s!

Firstly, I just wanted to thank you personally for our recent holiday with your company. Denise and I had a real blast and will definitely be doing something else with you in the future, we thoroughly enjoyed the whole break, especially the Cricket. We met some great people and have special fond memories of meeting you and your lovely wife and children. Well done to you and your team for organising a wonderful holiday.
Paul and Denise
 
I loved everything about the tour, had a fantastic time that exceeded my expectations. Will definitely use “Living with the Lions” again.

Just a note to say what a superb tour Brett Lingley hosted for Living With The Lions in Durban and Cape Town. An absolute pleasure and, by chance, two great Test matches which will rank among the all-time classics. Durban’s Hilton Hotel was fabulous, Cape Town’s City Lodge served its purpose… transport and internal flights excellent thanks to LWTL! Evening meals in Durban (Moyo in Ushaka, Butcher Boys in Florida Road) and Cape Town (Quay Four on the Waterfront) were excellent, showing great local knowledge. So too the Christmas lunch in Ballito and New Year do at the Five Flies in Cape Town were brilliant too. Please pass on my compliments and make sure everyone at Living With The Lions gives themselves a pat on the back. I’ll be back for the Ashes.”

Phil & I had a truly fantastic and memorable time in South Africa. The whole experience was brilliant from start to finish – the location, the hotel, the cricket and finally the safari at Pilansberg were all tremendous. It was a real pleasure meeting you and we would like to thank you for your excellent hosting of the events whilst we were in Cape Town. I hope you receive similar mails of support and congratulation from other clients as you deserve it – I know from experience that events like this don’t just simply happen as if by magic; they take a great deal of organisation from start to end. So, it is all credit to you and all the other people involved at LWTL for putting a package together that was so enjoyable. From the moment I enquired about the tour through the booking process and onto the tour itself I have always felt fully confident that you would all deliver consistently high levels of service and my initial thoughts that this would be the case turned out to be spot on. So, thank-you to all of you at LWTL from both of us for making this a trip that will live in the memory forever.”

I have been really impressed with your company and to be honest using a new company is always a little worrying but you have just exceeded all expectations. They are all still talking about the trip it has been a very memorable event.”
