We hadnt heard about Football breaks and were a little dubious at first as the price was very competitive. Firstly the website was very easy to use with the cost clearly shown at each section and the options available to us. Football breaks (Rebecca) were very efficient in arranging new flights after Monarch ceased business, this was hassle free and was at no extra cost. We saw a great game - it was a buzzing atmosphere. Our hotel (Principle Pio) was excellent and in a great position to the Palace and other sites as well as close to the Metro. Madrid is an excellent place to visit - a thoroughly enjoyable trip arranged wonderfully by Football breaks.
- Do the Segway tour its great fun!
- Dont rush out of the stadium - take in the view a little while so the queue to the Metro goes down
We had an excellent trip to Barcelona and watched the Malaga game . It was really easy to get around and the hotel was fantastic . Everything ran really smoothly . An excellent break

My trip to Milan was a surprise for my birthday. Four days away and the Milan derby chucked in for good measure. The flight was a couple hours from Birmingham, the transfer from the airport to the city was painless and the hotel was nice. It was lovely on arrival, however being 4star the rooms was pretty small and basic. It was a good base but nothing more. The city, the football was great. We took the bus tour around Milan and it showed all the major landmarks. Its worth a try (plus its a hop on, hop off service). Regarding the Derby, we were in the home end with the Inter fans. They are passionate, load and lots of fun. We arrived late which resulted in us not getting our seats, this wasn't a problem as we just jumped in someone else's. My wife and I didn't stand for the whole game, the volume of noise, the singing was non stop. It was the best match I've ever attended.
Every thing went exactly as they said it would. Did not even have to ask for the tickets at the hotel they were just handed to me from reception as I checked in
We had a brilliant time in Madrid watching Real v Barcelona. The hotel was nice and clean with the use of the air con a must as it touched 42 degrees when we were there! The tickets were waiting for us when we arrived which was great, the atmosphere of the match itself was incredible and although we upgraded to Cat 1 tickets, the view was still pretty high on the 3rd tier of the Bernabeu. But all in all, it was a very enjoyable trip, this is our third time booking with Football Break and would definitely recommend them to anyone.
