We (husband, wife and son) just returned from a land only Rose Bowl trip with Esoteric sports. We would book with them again. We booked with them before we knew if the Badgers were going because of the 100% money back gaurantee if our team didn't go. The tour guide was in the hotel lobby on Saturday morning so we picked up our lanyards with parade and game tickets then. Our room at the Hyatt in Huntington Beach was gorgeous. They will handle special requests. We requested an upgrade to an ocean view room and received it. I have a new hip so requested lower seating in the grandstand for the parade and close to the tunnel at the game and they fulfilled my request for the parade. I was glad to have a cane in the stadium since our seats were higher up than expected. Bus service was prompt, our guides were knowlegable and courteous. The Newport Harbor tour was nice. We were greeted with a glass of champagne when boarding. Great food served on real, not paper plates, with a DJ playing music and a fully stocked bar. A server brought around chocolate covered strawberries for dessert. There was a box breakfast for game day: large juice bottle, banana, granola bar and muffin-plenty to tide us over until we arrived at the game. We arrived at the parade grandstand in plenty of time to use the porta potties located behind the grandstand before the parade. We had a great view of the parade from our seats. We arrived at the game with plenty of time to check out the souvenir stands, get lunch and be in our seats 45 minutes before kick off. The bus left one hour after game time as promised. We had the guide's cellphone number in case we had to reach her for any reason at the game. Overall we had a wonderful experience. read more

We were absolutely delighted by our recent trip to the Rose Bowl arranged by Esoteric Sports. Every detail was addressed efficiently and all scheduled activities and transportation were first class, on time and enjoyable. Our Bowl Game seats were awesome as were the first class viewing seats for the parade. The cruise was a delightful addition to our perfect trip, especially the champagne welcome and the DJ and music that had us all dancing on board!!! We had one heck of a wonderful time and enjoyed time with our "new" Wisconsin friends. The hotel was first class and they even bumped us up to a Waterfront room after the first day! We would book another trip with Esoteric Sports in a heartbeat! What a painless way to travel and to get to all the different activities in a few short days! We will definitely recommend Esoteric Sports to all our friends and acquaintances!!! Vern and Lorraine Charbonneau, Iron River, Wisconsin read more

This was our first experience with Esoteric and we were not disappointed. The Hyatt Regency in Huntington Beach was beautiful, the rooms were comfortable and roomy, the staff more than accommodating. Every detail of our Rose Bowl package was enjoyable and hassle-free. Shirley, our guide for the parade and game, was more than attentive and treated each of her guests as if they were her only guests. We enjoyed the harbor cocktail cruise -- food, ambiance, DJ, made the experience enjoyable. We would not hesitate to travel with Esoteric Sports in the future. A wonderful, relaxing and worry-free experience. Jim & Peggy, Wisconsin read more

Traveling as part of a tour group was a new experience for my wife and I and we were very pleased with all the details of our trip. We were so pleased that all necessary transportation was provided in the LA area so that we got to the Rose Bowl parade and game without the hassles of driving, parking, etc. Our hotel/resort at Laguana Cliffs was wonderful and provided a great place to relax and enjoy the ocean. A special thanks to Jim and Cheryl for their work as our guides. I'm certain that we will travel with Esoteric Sports again in the future as we had a great time and a first class experience.

Attending the Masters was a lifelong dream fulfilled by my wife for my 50th birthday. I was told about the trip only 1 week in advance. As directed quite clearly in my itinerary from Esoteric, all I had to do was show up and the rest was easy. All aspects of travel from Massachusetts to Augusta, accommodations, hospitality, etc. were top notch. A representative was available to me at any time during my trip and their followup on several requests was prompt, courteous and thorough, I highly recommend their service to anyone interested in checking off an item on their bucket list! read more

We missed our opportunity for the previous Rose Bowl package with Esoteric Sports, but were extremely happy our package worked out this year. Cheryl and Jim were our tour hosts and coordinated our package details with perfection. They both made our trip very enjoyable with the ability to coordinate and inform us on area facts and trivia. Our hotel in Laguna provided a great base for needed rest after our many tours, Rose Bowl game, Parade and Hollywood sightseeing I'm sure Esoteric Sports could do a great package for our next adventure..

We were pleased with the package we purchased from Esoteric Sports for the NCAA Championship game in New Orleans. The hotel accommodations were comfortable and their staff helpful. Esoteric had personnel on site at the hotel and they were all responsive to any questions we had, especially Mandy and Amy. The pregame party on Esoteric was fun with good food and drinks. Our tickets to the game were better than we expected and, of course, as Bama fans, the game was the big event. We would use them in the future and recommend them to friends. read more

We have just returned from a most memorable trip to the BCS Championship game in New Orleans. Our family of four bought a package deal including the seats and hotel through Esoteric Sports. We were upgraded in our hotel and the tickets were much better than we expected. Mandi and her associate did a superb job of managing the logistics from the tickets, hotel and game day party at Lucy's. We would definitely recommend and book again any major sporting event with Esoteric Sports! Roll Tide!!! Jerry & Keiko H. Chappaqua, NY read more

Recently took the Rose Bowl tour, LOVED IT!! Esoteric tour guides were always around to help and answer questions. They even helped load and unload our luggage. As far as the lines, yes there are lines, there are hundreds of people waiting for the same thing. We felt the Esoteric did an outstanding job. Now maybe, the customers should look at how they behaved. Everyone can not be first in line and you are not the only person on this trip. A little consideration, patience and kindness for others is needed. read more

Our first experience with Esoteric Sports and we were thrilled. Cheryl and Jim were our guides and handled every detail to perfection! They were informative, cordial, prompt, and everything went smoothly. The way to go! The hotel selection was ideal, gorgeous area for sightseeing. The Rose Parade and Rose Bowl game were an adventure not to miss. It should be on everyone's "bucket list" and most certainly leave your plans to ESOTERIC SPORTS.

This was our first experience with Esoteric. We very much enjoyed our entire experience at the Rose Bowl,(except for a few Oregon fans)! The parade seating location & view was excellent. The parade barn and Hollywood tours were fun and informative. And, the Sunday night harbor tour around the Balboa Islands was very neat! The Christmas lights were WOW! Our tour guides were very interesting, friendly, informative and kept us on schedule. Dave & Darlene H. Waukesha, WI read more

Esoteric delivered. Our trip to New Orleans was a once in a lifetime experience. Mandi was very helpful every time I called with a question. The driver they provided and the hotel were more than we had ever expected. It was fun to meet Mandi and Amy at the pregame party. Maybe if LSU had booked through Esoteric they could have relaxed and been able to play a better game. I definitely recommend them for booking a dream vacation to a sporting event. roll tide. read more

We joined the WI Badger Rose Bowl tour. We were very pleased w/ the hotel at Huntington Beach Hyatt Regency, it truly was a 5-star hotel. We were across from the beach and walking distance to downtown. We met wonderful people, had a great cruise in Newport Beach, and had a memorable tour of the Rose Bowl Float Barns. We had good seats for the parade and stress free travel between the parade and game. We would consider using their services again. read more

My first experience with Esoteric Sports and all went great. I had numerous questions prior to finalizing our package and Cyndi at Esoteric was always extremely helpful and e-mailed me up to date information several times.

My first experience with Esoteric Sports was fantastic. Cheryl and Jim Young hosted an excellent land and sea tour throughout the New Years weekend. Their expertise was above and beyond at the Tournament of Rose's Parade, Rose Bowl Game, float barn, Hollywood tour and evening cruise at Newport Beach Harbor. We really enjoyed ourselves and would definitely tour with them again. read more

Everything was as advertised and we will definitely be using them again. read more
