This year I worked for Rayburn Tours as a ski rep and I can't praise them highly enough. The staff were extremely helpful and always kept in contact with me to ensure everything about our ski trip was operating successfully. All the other Rayburn ski reps were just as friendly and helpful. Having also used Rayburn for my own schools ski trips, I have found them to be extremely accommodating and extremely professional. The three trips we have run with them have always been extremely well organised and made things as easy as possible for the party leader to ensure the trips run smoothly. Would happily

In May of this year our choir, and guests,consisting of 67 passengers were due to travel to Malta to complete a concert tour. Much to our disappointment, due to the Co-Vid 19 pandemic the tour had to be cancelled. We had invested over £40,000 into this tour with Rayburn Tours. You can imagine the concerns and uncertainty amongst our party!would we be reimbursed etc? I don't write reviews very often but I am happy to highlight the exceptional service we received from Rayburn Tours. Throughout these unprecedented, uncertain times the staff kept us informed and updated on a regular basis and ensured

We have organised tours through Rayburn for over 15 years and I wouldn’t go anywhere else. They have always been reliable, knowledgeable and bend over backwards to meet the needs of our groups. Unfortunately we had to cancel our recent tour due to Covid and they have been in touch all the way through the refund process. We will definitely book again in the future.

Our 2019 Sports Tour to Belgium was our first experience of booking a sports tour with Rayburn Tours. From initial meeting to explore the products on offer, to ongoing support throughout the planning stage and then tour delivery, every aspect filled us with confidence. The result was an amazing tour encompassing the correct balance between sport and culture which meant that both students and staff had an amazing experience. Having dedicated staff to look after our initial choice (Gemma), creating and amending our bespoke itinerary (Abigail) and to join us on our tour as a rep (Julie) ensured that

Just back from a trip to Iceland with Val Vannet as our guide, brilliantly organised by Rayburn Tours. Perfect time period of three days jam-packed with all the various sites and activities in this beautiful country. Val was particularly fantastic, providing lots of interesting information and fun! An incredible experience with lots of learning and enjoyment 👍🏼

I have been on Rayburn trips both as a student and now as a teacher and have been impressed each time at the quality of the excursions and the support on offer from the company. The assistance I received as a first time trip leader this year as part of our trip to the USA was second to none and I will continue to use the company for future trips.

We have travelled to Iceland with Rayburn every year since 2007 and have had 11 amazing trips - we are already looking forward to the next one which is all booked. I cannot recommend Rayburn highly enough, their customer service at every stage of the process from support with planning and booking through to the quality of the trip itself. Jackie,… Tracey and Ian are so helpful and friendly - nothing is too much trouble and it is the quality of this customer service that keeps us coming back. Any concerns or questions are addressed quickly and solutions always found. I would have no hesitation

We have recently come back from a choir tour organized by Rayburn. We were horrified to find that Rayburn had not organized any publicity for our two concerts which we had spent months preparing for. This meant little or no audience. There were also a number of delays meaning that our trip was not as expected. Very very disappointing from such a reputable company!
