Total package excelled expectations, slight problem with triple room at hotel, but after one quick telephone call to the emergency number supplied all sorted within five minutes. Would recommend Football breaks over any other company and much easier than booking everything oneself.
Football Break were very helpful and efficient. They responded to emails and phone calls promptly and the match tickets were safely at the hotel. The seats were great - right by the pitch. My only warning to other users relates to Spanish games - the (fairly regular) last minute switch of days in our Barcelona game was (unusually) to a Friday (!!), which threw our plans and costs into disarray. Nothing to do with FootballBreak at all, and they did their best to sort it out.
Wonderful wonderful city. Nou Camp - 100,000 spectators left the grounding 10 minutes - remarkable. However, on departure Les Corts metro had huge queues. Not sure the best Plan B, but worth having one.
The hotel was good, the flights were all on time and didn't have any issues. The stadium & match atmosphere was fantastic, best I have ever experienced. The service was very good from football breaks & would definitely use the again.
Take time to look at the tube, it's a great way to easily gets around. La rambla at night is just amazing.
We went, as a family to see Real Madrid v Seville, and have a short city break in Madrid. The whole package was excellent, we were able to amend it to suite our wants. We stayed for 3 nights, changed our seats in the stadium, flight times and we were able to choose a hotel in Madrid’s old town. When we needed to speak to the representatives from FootballBreak they were friendly and very helpful. The match tickets were waiting for us when we checked into our hotel, and even though the match kicked off late (10pm local time) it was a great spectacle (7 - 3 to Madrid).
As we chose a hotel in the centre of the old town of Madrid and used taxis to and from the stadium. Whilst it was busy after the game, there were plenty of taxis (we only had to wait a couple of minutes) and they are not an unreasonable price. We also used the local taxis to and from the airport, again with no issues and very speedy. Madrid is a beautiful city and, for a capital city, the cost of eating and drinking out isn’t unreasonable.
This is my second booking with FootballBreak. Having had a successful first trip to Barcelona, I did not hesitate to use the company again for our trip to Munich. Again, I was very happy with the total package and Munich surpassed all expectations. Fantastic atmosphere and everything is so well run!
I would recommend visting the stadium's museum, and taking a stadium tour in addition to watching a game. Also, if you stay and extra day, do take a trip to Bayern Munich's training ground. If they play on Saturday, you can watch them train on Monday (at 11am). We saw all of the 1st team train, and Pepe Guardiola signed my son's shirt - unbeatable experience! To make it a complete lads holiday - a trip to the BMW museum is certainly worth taking.
