âWe took a foreign tour with Anthony Travel in August of
2009. The trip was instrumental in building team chemistry
and conďŹdence going into our season. The international
basketball games challenged our veteran players, while
providing meaningful minutes for our newcomers. Our trip
was highly organized-- the travel accommodations, Anthony
Travel staff members and cultural sightseeing were all
incredibly done.ââ
