For our trip to Cuba, we could not have asked for a better experience. Working with Nate Marchand and Brad Hosey was very easy and reassuring that we were in good hands. We told them certain activities that we wanted to do on our trip and they made it happen! They took control of the challenging parts of figuring out the logistics and specifics of our trip for a large group of people and made it very easy and memorable for us!

Michigan Softball took its first-ever international trip to CUBA! The fantastic staff of Nate Marchand and Brad Hosey were well prepared, and attended to all the details. Our team had a wonderful experience and most importantly got to experience the incredible culture of the Cuban people. I would call upon Brad and Nate again in the future!

Our nine day trip was part cultural, part baseball and finally, a little down time that was needed by all. Action packed, exciting and rewarding are just a couple words that come to mind when thinking about our experience. “First Class” is what comes to mind when describing the planning and execution done by the guys from Navigo. If you’re even remotely thinking of going abroad and you haven’t called Brad or Mike from Navigo, you’ve already made your first mistake! Already looking forward to our next trip!

In many ways, a trip like this is a leap of faith and Navigo Soccer Tours exceeded all of my expectations in every aspect. From the 18 months of planning, plane reservations, last-minute cancellations and last-minute additions, your determination to adjust air reservations and flights, the meticulous planning on your end of every day and every event, meals, transportation, everything was top notch. The experience & memories of our trip will forever be part of us and your efforts to assure they are fond memories are very much appreciated. I very much look forward to discussions regarding the summer tour of Spain and Portugal. We’ve got to get busy again planning, only 24 months before we are off again!

Navigo Soccer Tours provided us with a completely customized tour of Costa Rica. We had the luxury of 24-hour assistance from our tour guides and bus driver. They were extremely knowledgeable about the culture and were flexible when unforeseen obstacles appeared! My players had the experience of a lifetime, both exploring a new country and bonding as a team. I highly recommend Navigo Soccer Tours for your next trip abroad. You will not be disappointed!

We spent years planning our trip of a lifetime to Ireland and Mike and the staff at Navigo Sports Tours more than made that happen. I was amazed by their local knowledge and organization. When we go on our next trip, we will, without a doubt, use Navigo Soccer Tours!

Our long-term partnership with Navigo has helped us transform our program from a bottom-half conference team to a top 25 National competitor. Fostering opportunities for your team to have international experiences and gain cultural competency is worth every penny. Traveling as a team not only opens up educational and interactive moments for your group, but it also enables the team to build new relationships and deepen existing ones. Nothing creates a coherent feeling like shared experience and Navigo facilitates the prime stage for this endeavor. Through carefully curated meals, tours and competition, our itinerary was both dynamic and engaging. When you book Navigo, you realize the most powerful recruiting tool—highlight appealing offerings to prospective student-athletes and their parents alike.

I have had the opportunity to work with Navigo’s staff on two foreign trips. As a professional in sports operations, I found their work and attention to detail to be outstanding. They understand how college teams operate and are well trained and connected throughout all parts of the world, allowing them the ability to create a specialized tour for any type of team/group. Navigo are the only people I’d go to for future foreign tours!

Our team had a great time exploring and enjoying all of what Costa Rica had to offer. The staff and people we worked with on our trip were very informative and did everything they could to make sure our experience was a great one. The trip was filled with various activities for us, which helped the group better understand the culture and take in all of Costa Rica. The schedule throughout the week was well balanced with activities and downtime for the group to relax and enjoy. I plan to take another trip with this group and would highly recommend them to others looking to take their team somewhere.

Our experience with Navigo Sports Tours was perfecto. When planning an intercollegiate athletic team’s trip abroad for 40 student-athletes, coaches and family, members it is difficult to know who to trust. Having the assurance of a quality experience was important to us. Navigo Sports Tours delivered far more than we expected to receive right from our first moments of arriving in Spain. The sales team did a wonderful job of working with us on a desired itinerary and finding a price that fit our budget. Their operations team was very thorough in the process of ticketing, communications with our entire group prior to our departure, local ground transportation locally and meals and lodging. Our trip leaders were experienced, hard working, flexible and personable.

Our team had an amazing time and life-changing experience on our trip to Cuba! We can’t wait to travel again and will definitely be contacting Marcos to help us organize our next trip. The level of customer service and care was above and beyond what we expected from start to finish. Marcos was incredibly helpful and flexible in the pre-trip process, and all of the staff that traveled with us made our trip special. Thank you!

This was our first international trip with Navigo, and I would highly recommend them to any coach looking to take their team abroad. The predeparture staff was only outdone by the in country guides we met when we landed in Europe.  Navigo took all of the headache out of planning a 10 day trip for 30 people to 3 European countries.  Our players and staff were able to focus on our goals of cultural exploration, international cooperation, growing the game abroad, and team bonding while Navigo took care of the details.  The team was easy to work with to make adjustments to the schedule making sure that we got exactly what we wanted out of our trip.  We are looking forward to working with Navigo on our next trip in 4 years!

Our softball team traveled to Italy and we can say everything about the trip exceeded our expectations. We traveled with students and families and our goal for the trip was a combination of competition and culture and Navigo was excellent working with us and in handling all the details of both of those goals. Our international softball hosts were so welcoming. Our student-athletes had an experience they will never forget. The cultural aspects of the trip were also excellent. Our experiences everyplace we traveled were engaging, exciting, and surprising—from exploring all the sights of Rome, to a trip on the fast train to Milan, to a bike tour in Milan, to a trip to Lake Garda (and a beautiful town the whole group was charmed by), to a gondola ride in Venice—just to name a few. Navigo handled all the details of travel, competition, meals, hotels, and tours. Michael and Nadina, our tour guides, were so knowledgeable, patient, calm, and accommodating. When the details of the trip are handled so smoothly and communicated so well, the whole group can enjoy the planned activities and the free time without much stress. This was our second international trip with Navigo. For both, Navigo worked with us to develop the trips and activities that best suited the teams’ needs. We hope for more international experiences and highly recommend Navigo.

Our program’s trip to the Netherlands and Belgium was a career highlight for me as a coach. Our team, staff, and family members all had an incredible time experiencing local history and culture and playing competitive volleyball matches. I was really impressed with how easy it was to work with Navigo in the planning phase as well as on the actual trip. Their flexibility in creating an itinerary that worked for our group and intentionality in making connections and meeting needs while on the ground were highlights for us. We plan to travel again and will use Navigo again in the future.

I cannot express enough gratitude to the incredible team at Navigo Sports Tours for planning an unforgettable international tour for our collegiate athletics team. From the moment we reached out to them with our ambitious vision, they took charge with utmost professionalism and expertise.

The planning process was seamless, and they took the time to understand our team’s specific needs and preferences. They curated a well-rounded itinerary that combined competitive sports events with cultural experiences, making the trip educational and fun for our student-athletes.

Throughout our journey, the level of organization and attention to detail was impeccable. Travel logistics, accommodations, and transportation were all managed flawlessly, allowing us to focus solely on our training and competitions. Their local contacts and guides at each destination were incredibly knowledgeable, providing us with valuable insights into the local culture and history.

One of the highlights of the tour was a friendly match against a local team, which gave our athletes a unique opportunity to interact with international players and exchange skills and experiences. The exposure to different playing styles broadened our team’s perspective and improved their performance.

Thanks to the efforts of Navigo Sports Tours and John, our athletes came back not only as better players but also as more culturally aware individuals. The memories created during this trip will stay with us forever, and we are immensely grateful to the whole team for making it all possible.

If you are considering an international tour for your collegiate athletics team, I highly recommend Navigo Sports Tours. They will go above and beyond to create an exceptional and enriching experience for your athletes, leaving a lasting impact on your team’s development.

This was our first experience with Navigo and the experience was simply fantastic. John (Czifrik) and the Navigo team set up an amazing trip for us into Switzerland and France this past August (2023). They were attentive and responsive during the organization process, and continued to check-in following our return. The level of hockey and atmospheres for our competitions were amazing and the places we visited (Geneva, Chamonix, Gap, Antibes, Nice, Monaco) were incredible. Our tour directors, Lucy & Javi, were top-notch and did an exceptional job adjusting on the fly when we experienced inclement weather. With minimal travel experience within our group, they managed to provide us with a nice balance of comfortable accommodations, and genuine local cultural experiences. Everything ran incredibly smoothly whether we were on the tour bus, or traveling via public transport. We set out to provide our student-athletes an opportunity to play some hockey while experiencing some unfamiliar cultures and we could not be more pleased with how this trip went. Thank you, John, Lucy, Javi & the Navigo team!

The trip exceeded expectations. The price was fair and our hosts (tour guides) were fantastic. There was a great balance between our training goals and the goals of seeing some of the amazing history of Italy. To see the history of Rome and Pompeii along with seeing the beauty of the Amalfi Coast was unbelievable. As a team we grew so much closer because of having to rely on each other to navigate a foreign transit system and ways of communicating. We will go abroad again when we can.

We had a great experience with Navigo. Not only did they do a great job accommodating our large group (80+ travel party), they were extremely flexible and easy to work with throughout the planning process. They even made adjustments for us “on the fly” during the trip. Even with changes in leadership, both on our team and in our athletic department, John and Michael went above and beyond to ensure the trip would continue without any hiccups. They were professional, flexible, and great communicators throughout the planning process – making the trip preparation easy for players and coaches. The actual trip itself was incredible. We had a full itinerary including guided tours, games, team lunches/dinners, and some downtime to explore both Florence and Rome on our own schedule. A few highlights for me included a team cooking class, a guided bike tour through Florence, the trip to the Colosseum, and the food throughout the entire trip! Overall a wonderful, very memorable experience that I would highly recommend!

We had a wonderful trip to Italy, it was everything I could have hoped for when planning it. Navigo was professional and helpful from start to finish. They were always available when I had questions before we left on the trip, then once we arrived in Italy their tour directors did everything possible to make it a fantastic experience. The clubs we trained at were nice and the tennis competition was the perfect level for our team. Each day was a great mix of site seeing and free time to explore on our own. I also highly recommend the bike tour in Naples. We certainly plan to use Navigo for our future team trips.

Our team traveled to Puerto Rico for an amazing cultural and baseball experience. The Navigo team led by John was incredible in their planning. They were able to connect us with local teams, set up educational opportunities and give us time to relax and explore the island. The tour directors were flexible, worked well with our players and really made the trip. From playing baseball, hiking El Yunque, learning about local history, sharing meals with other teams and families and even getting some time at the beach there is not much else you can get out of a spring break trip. It was a tremendous bonding experience for our team and without a doubt a first-class trip.

Truly an incredible experience with Nathan and Vincent leading our team trip through Spain and Portugal. We could not have asked for a better itinerary or tour directors. A+ for Navigo from the beginning of booking and organizing the trip for our group of 45 all the way through the end saying our goodbyes at the airport. HIGHLY recommend Navigo and we plan to use them in the future!

Our journey with Navigo Sports Tours was nothing short of extraordinary. From the first phone call, we were met with the utmost professionalism and warmth by our representative, Brad, whose dedication ensured a seamless experience. Lucy and Mike, our tour guides, were the heart of our adventure, guiding us through the rich tapestry of Irish culture and landscapes. From the bustling streets of Dublin to the serene beauty of Cork, the historic port of Cobh to the legendary Blarney Stone, and the vibrant spirit of Galway. Navigo Sports Tours crafted an itinerary that was not just a tour, but a celebration of Ireland’s heritage, matched perfectly with our team’s spirit. The memories we’ve created are indelible, and we owe a great deal of that to the Navigo team’s exceptional service and passion for sports travel. Thank you, Brad, Lucy, and Mike, for an amazing trip that went beyond the game and into the heart of Ireland’s enchantment.

Couldn’t recommend NAVIGO highly enough. Brad was great on the planning and operational side for our trip to Panama. We had close to 60 in our travel party and all issues and questions were handled with professionalism and great customer service.

Lucy and Vincent our in-country guides were second to none. They went over the top to ensure a life-changing trip for our players, staff, and families!

We can’t wait until our next trip!

We had an incredible time on our trip to Italy.

Our guide (Javi) was extremely engaged and enthusiastic with our group, and each detail of the itinerary was very well organized.

Navigo was flexible throughout the process, and I highly recommend them for any team looking to travel overseas.

We had an amazing trip to France & Belgium; it was a trip of a lifetime for my players, coaches, and travel party of 35. Navigo was professional and organized from start to finish. Once we arrived in France, our tour directors (Martin & Javi) were so awesome. They met with our coaches each night to go over the itinerary for the following day and adjusted it as needed and truly became great friends of ours. The sightseeing we experienced was incredible and to not have to wait in lines was so nice. We got to explore and experience incredible things, and we even had some free time too. Our team played 3 games against great competition and the practice and game organization was excellent. We certainly plan to use Navigo for any future team trips we do.

We had the pleasure to work with Navigo Sports Tours to secure a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Australia as a team. Every single accommodation that was planned by the amazing Navigo staff was PERFECT and it was immediately clear that they thought through every logistical need associated with traveling in a group well in advance and with a lot of careful consideration. We had the benefit of working with Nathan (Nate) and Nicole, who were incredible guides throughout our time in Australia. I was thoroughly impressed with the restaurant/food selections and activities that were built into our perfectly timed itineraries. Both Nate and Nicole were extremely easy to work with and very attentive to our needs; we were all so sad to say our goodbyes by the end of the trip! I strongly recommend Navigo Sports Tours to anyone who is looking for the unique opportunity to travel with your team or organization and would book their services again in a heartbeat. “Thank you,” doesn’t even begin to cover my gratitude and appreciation for the work and care that went into our team’s trip of a lifetime, but alas: thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!

This was an amazing experience for all. The Navigo Staff made the trip super easy to plan and our guides Declan & Lindsay were accomodating, knowledgeable and efficient. Players and parents remarked how this was the best experience they have had and I would second that opinion as both a coach and participant. I would highly endorse Navigo to anyone who is looking to take a group on a trip! It truly was the experience of a lifetime.

This Costa Rica tour was extremely well organized. Dave was always very responsive to questions as the trip was being organized. Maikol was so knowledgeable in giving us background on the country and in making sure we had authentic type experiences. He had such a great sense of humor, and also extreme patience with all the questions being constantly lobbed at him. Even the bus driver was an asset as a lot of times I have had drivers that I was really uncomfortable with. He was wonderful navigating all that traffic and roads. It was so much fun with the mixture of pickleball and touring. I definitely felt like the trip was good value and that we got our money’s worth. Something about the mixture of play and tours really brought the group together and the mix of personalities was so enjoyable. A worthwhile trip!

I can’t say enough good things about our Navigo Sports Tours pickleball vacation to Costa Rica! The trip was jam-packed with fun things to do including zip lining, a volcano hike, a cooking class, a national park tour, a crocodile river tour, and more! All this and 4 days of friendly pickleball too! The arrangements went off without a hitch. Not an easy thing to do with such a busy itinerary. Kudos to our tour director David, our local guide Maiko,l and our driver Mario. I can’t wait to book another tour with Navigo Pickleball Vacations!

Our baseball team and their families had an experience of a lifetime, one that they will never forget. Navigo was able to blend the culture of Puerto Rico with baseball in an incredibly unique way. The games with local teams offered amazing and beautiful interaction between the teams’ players and families. If you love the game, the bonds formed over this short trip will be the greatest part of it all!
We can’t say enough great things about the guides Lucy and Shamir. They were awesome to learn from, truly exceptional teachers. Everyone always felt well cared for and safe at all times because of these awesome guides. They have been adopted by all of us as part of the Catamount family.

Any team interested in embarking on a life changing baseball journey, Navigo is the way to go. Their team is unparalleled in this area of travel.

From start to finish, our experience with Navago and their incredible team—John, Michael, Mike, and Lisa—during our time in Sydney, Australia was nothing short of flawless. As the Club Director of Rancho Tsunami Water Polo Club, I’ve had the privilege of traveling extensively with the U.S. National Team and other organizations over the years. That said, this experience truly stands out as one of the most seamless, well-organized, and memorable trips we’ve ever taken.

From the initial planning stages, John and Michael were exceptional. They handled every question we threw at them—of which there were many—with patience, professionalism, and genuine care. Their ability to ease our concerns and guide us through the process step by step made it much easier to place our trust in them and let them “take the reins.” Their calm, knowledgeable approach brought us peace of mind and allowed us to focus on preparing our athletes for an unforgettable journey.

Once we arrived in Sydney, we were met by our local guides, Mike and Lisa, who were simply outstanding. Not only were they well-organized and punctual, but they brought a warm, energetic presence to everything we did. They were knowledgeable about local culture, history, and geography, and they shared those insights with our athletes and coaching staff in ways that made each outing meaningful and engaging. Whether we were training, sightseeing, or enjoying downtime, their presence added tremendous value to the experience.

By the end of the trip, Mike and Lisa felt like part of the team. Their enthusiasm, humor, and support built genuine bonds with our group, and their attention to detail ensured everything ran smoothly. They were always in tune with what our team needed—whether it was an adjustment to the schedule, a recommendation for a team meal, or just someone to cheer us on from the sidelines. Their passion and professionalism made us feel safe, supported, and truly taken care of.

To any clubs or teams considering a travel opportunity with Navago: do not miss the chance. These experiences go far beyond competition—they create lasting memories, build team chemistry, and broaden our athletes’ perspectives in powerful ways. Sport is about more than just the game—it’s also about the life-changing moments that happen when you step outside your comfort zone.

A heartfelt thank you to John, Michael, Mike, and Lisa for your time, your dedication, and for giving our athletes the experience of a lifetime. We are incredibly grateful.
