Three friends and I had an excellent mid week city break in Barcelona. The package provided from football break was of excellent value, the hotel (Aranea) was clean , staff were friendly and the location was brilliant. Plenty of little bars, cafes and restaurants around it and not far from the centre/metro station. Flights to and from were hassle free. Footballbreak's staff were excellent, we dealt with Rebecca, who firstly contacted us after our initial booking to suggest a different hotel due to our party type, this went a long way in terms of customer service and showed the staff see their customers as individuals, not statistics. Will definitely be using this company again to visit the best teams around Europe !

Tip: we found that bars around the ground were charging us the same price for rounds when buying different numbers of drinks (e.g. A round of 4 drinks, €24. Then on the next round of 2 drinks - €24) the smaller bars not filled with Barcelona shirts seemed a lot more friendly.

We had a very good week-end and everything was well organised. The only disappointment was the match tickets. It is not possible to select actual seats or even a particular area. The only option is a price range and each range covers a large part of the stadium. So on booking we had no idea where we would be sitting. I went for the top price tickets in the hope of good seats. However, we finished up with seats low down, level with the penalty spot. Not what I consider were good seats and definitely not what I would have chosen. I am likely to have another football break, but will investigate other options to see if it’s possible to have a greater say in the seats I’m allocated.

We travelled with our 9 year old grandson to watch Barcelona v Valencia. The booking process was very user friendly, hotel was good quality staff very helpful. I wish I had paid more for a tier 1 seat but it didn't spoil our enjoyment. The atmosphere was electric ive never experienced any thing like it. Our grandson was thrilled with the whole trip. We would definitely visit Barcelona again.

Tip: check out best way to get home from the game the metro wasn't well organised. Quite scary for younger visitors

What a fantastic trip. Everything from the moment we booked till we arrived back at Gatwick was perfect. Flights were spot on. When we arrived at the hotel in Barcelona, the tickets for the match were there waiting for us. We were able to check in right away and go to our room which was great so we could unpack and go and explore the city. On matchday it was perfect. Going into Camp Nou for the first time was an experience in itself. A great atmosphere and what a game. 6 goals, a red card and a penalty and to get to see arguably the greatest player in the world was such a treat. It was such a great way to experience a football match and football breaks were excellent every step of the way. Barcelona was a great city too. We will certainly be using them again for our next trip away.

Tip: stay at the Expo Hotel. It's a great location walking distance from Camp Nou and the main areas of Barcelona. The staff were excellent.

Very good package - no hassle whatsoever. Arelingus flight out more comfortable than Ryan air flight back. But I assume the Ryanair flight was arranged to give us more time. Hotel perfectly located to make the Tour of the ground straighforward and the match itself. Close to the underground which made the visits to centre of Barcelona easy. The one minus - I did not make a fuss because I enjoyed the trip so much : the hotel did not clean our room and did not change our towels.

Tip: Spend time in the city - Park Guell etc, gothic quarter - good vibe in the city.
