“Really LOVED it.”
The experience was amazing – the seats we had were unbelievable. The suite that was available was so helpful and added a lot to our experience. The players tour was beyond special. Seeing them warming up and the stretch room … really LOVED it.
“Customer service was exemplary”
My trip was well organized and was customized to meet my expressed needs. The customer service was exemplary. I would strongly recommend Roadtrips! I enjoyed my vacation immensely. It was my dream trip! Thank you.
“We had a fantastic time”
A HUGE ‘thank you’ to you and the Roadtrips team. We had a fantastic time on the grounds at Melbourne Park and the tickets that were secured for us were spot on with fantastic placement!!! The Park Hyatt hotel was phenomenal. Overall, a very worthwhile trip for us and we will definitely be doing it again!!! Going outside the US to another country/continent is stressful and you helped alleviate some of that stress.
