I took my son to see Real Madrid v Deportivo La Corunna on 14 Feb - an early 18th Birthday present for him and what a fantastic experience we had. Booking was very straightforward and all documents/info were emailed to me 10 days in advance of the trip as promised. Flight was good. and our match tickets as promised were already at the hotel( Husa Princesa) when we checked in. I had paid to upgrade the tickets but was delighted to discover the seats for the game were in the VIP hospitality area. A fantastic time at the game- we were both blown away by the stadium & atmosphere. We booked the stadium tour the next day which we would thoroughly recommend- allow plenty of time to do this as there is so much to see and do. All in all a brilliant trip- one we will never forget. Thank you Footballbreak - we would thoroughly recommend your company to anyone. but I needn't have been.
For the second year in a row we have used Footballbreak.co.uk for our holiday. Both times we have had excellent service, fantastic hotels (clean, friendly and convenient) and brilliant seats - front row both times! We were worried the first year about tickets being at the hotel - but both times they have been waiting on our arrival. We would recommend them without hesitation and have passed their details on to friends to use.
Staying in the centre is easy, we walked to the stadium (just over an hour at a slow pace to see the sights and a couple of beers on the way) but the metro is so easy and you can get a 10 trip ticket which is cheap and easy to use. We also saw Rayo Vallecano who were at home the next day, bought tickets on the day from the Stadium - our son is 12 and had the best time, a very child friendly city.
Last year we went to Barcelona with this company and had a marvellous time. We did not think our trip this year could possibly match up to it but it was even better when we went to Real Madrid. The seats were truly excellent as was the hotel. We had a great time visiting the sights in Madrid.
If you want to see the sights - try The Royal Palace - it is very good value for money. We also had a Segway trip and had a splendid tour.
This was our first trip , therefore naturally apprehensive that the 2 day event would run like clockwork . Ye of little faith ! What an absolutely fantastic experience and worth every penny. Excellent service with the 2 day package running as smooth as a Swiss watch !
Book quickly , the later you leave it the less chance you have of avoiding the increased airfare .
The stadium tour at Barca was excellent and well organised. Well recommend to go for the extra day to complete this. The tickets we received for the game were excellent - we could not have asked for a better view. My son, aged 8, found the whole experience 'awesome' and the service we received on the whole trip was brilliant.
It is a must to dot he extra day and complete the Barca stadium / museum tour.
