“Rugby is a fun experience, but seeing the students engage in this kind of cultural event, was a huge win for us and will enable us to continue going to Japan for these events. We will look to be planning another Japan trip for the rugby club in 2027 with Gullivers.”
Ben McGee, Daramalan College
"One of the decisive factors in the success of the tour was the ground staff in Japan. Each of the four worked tirelessly for long hours to make our tour such a success. They each deserve the highest of praise and recognition as they were dealing with a very fastidious and demanding client base.
Our teams, were each greeted enthusiastically and treated like kings. It was a privilege to witness the interaction between all players and adults from both sides. The games were competitive and the welcomings generous. Two days of outstanding memories. This is what we came for."
Greg McDonald, Deputy Headmaster of Mosman Church of England Preparatory School
"Thanks for all your hard work on our tour. We had a ball. I'll be certain to recommend Gulivers and hopefully use you guys again in the future".
