THE LIONS 2017NEW ZEALAND

Welcome from Cooch

'A warm welcome to all our Venatour clients. I can’t believe New Zealand is

just around the corner again and out of all the Lions destinations, this is the

biggest test of a Home Nations international rugby player.

I was there in 2005 and despite the result, the experience of touring a rugby

mad nation, with all Home Nations supporters pulling together for the Lions

cause, was unforgettable. When I played in 1989, we defeated an Australia

side against all the odds. Although smaller in number, the Lions fans were

massively important to us and since 1997, the event has grown to epic

proportions. New Zealand will be no different and you can be there with us.

2013 was an unforgettable experience and a hugely successful one for

Venatour. The camaraderie, Cooch’s Den, the wine day and of course that

extraordinary result in Sydney gave us a tour we’ll never forget. Venatour is

an Official Sub-Agent of The British & Irish Lions New Zealand 2017 Travel

Programme, guaranteeing the all-important tickets, getting access to the best

hotels and flights and of course, having a few beers along the way with me

and my mates.

Places will be limited so please book early to avoid disappointment and

whether this is your first Lions tour or one of many, Venatour will make sure

you have the time of your lives!!!'

Chairman, Venatour

Testimonials

Margaret and I just wanted to say how much we enjoyed the

Tour just like the Lions in the third Test, it went beyond

our expectations. Everything about it was brilliant the

organisation, the hotels, the people, the chat, the spare

time, the food, the drink, and of course the rugby: very

impressive for you to pull that one off!

Thank you once again for giving us the holiday of a lifetime.

Cliff Morgan - Lions 2013 Client

Just a quick note to say that having never been on a tour like this before was not sure what to expect but, in

no small part, due to yourselves the experience was fantastic. The organisation and level of service from

Venatour was superb, probably due to the experience of all the staff involved.

Thanks again for a wonderful trip.
