My son & I just arrived back from our trip to Barcelona and I would like to give you some feedback, as this is the first time that we have used Footballbreak.co.uk
The organisation was first class and the travel went without a hitch. The hotel was nice, and in a quiet location, with good facilities and importantly it was near to Camp Nou. I was a little nervous about travelling without the Camp Nou without the tour tickets and match tickets, but you assured me that they would be waiting for me in the hotel, and just as promised they were given to me at check-in. To top it all Barcelona won 6 – 1, wow.
Using Footballbreak.co.uk takes the hassle and strain out of booking these complex holidays, as travel, hotel, match tickets, tours, etc, are all booked for you at one point. The staff are very polite and professional and kept me informed throughout the booking process.
I will certainly use Footballbreak.co.uk in the future and will strongly recommend them to my friends and colleagues.
Many thanks for making our trip to Camp Nou so very memorable.

The whole package was great, we had good flights that were on time. We flew Ryanair and you get what you pay for but a short haul flight is not a problem and only taking hand luggae saves loads of time before and after you land, we used the bus into the city which was fine. It took about half an hour and dropped us in the city centre. Hotel was fine, we booked the standard 2 star hotel and for a short stay is all you bneed. The staff were helpful and all the tickets were waiting for us when we checked in. Great seats in the ground, it wasnt full as they were playing Real Madrid twice the follwoning week but the atmosphere was still great. It was cold though, If you go mid winter expect the same weather you get in England and wrap up. We got the Metro back from the ground, We had to swap trainslines but this was easy enough. We felt very safe the whole trip but beware of beggars in the centre of Barcelona they have some unusual ways of asking you for money!! It was a trouble free experience for us and I would certainly use the company again for other football trips.
If you are staying in the centre buy a ticket for the City Tour Bus. It is a great way to get your bearings and see the sights of the city. We used it to travel up to the ground on Match day and then again the next day to take the Stadium tour. Try the small tapas bars off the main streets for something to eat, we had some great meals and got good value. The Market off Las Ramblas is also worth a look round
Bought the trip as a birthday present for my boyfriend. Both thoroughly enjoyed the trip! We stayed at the Evenia Rocafort hotel- perfect location for las ramblas and metro to the stadium! Excellent match- Barcelona 6- 1 Getafe! Paid extra to upgrade the seats by one band and definitley worth the upgrade!! Certainly using football breaks for our next trip- saves having to work out flight times and tickets yourself!
Pay extra for the upgraded seats at camp nou and do the tour of the stadium and museum! Some amazing restaurants in the city- especially one called Moritz Barcelona! Expect to pay more for food and drinks on las ramblas but slightly off that street, food is half the price.
This was fantastic I can't fault footballbreak.co.uk, everything we booked was there. Hotel was central Madrid and was perfect for access to the metro and buses. It was better than I expected.
Fantastic trip, this was for my children and they found the experiencing amazing, we upgraded the seats and had front row for Real Madrid v Real Sociadad. Excellent trip
I was a little sceptical as I had never taken a trip like this before but was pleasantly surprised by how well it all worked out from the hotel to ticket collection match seats and stadium tour. The flights were on time and at excellant times during the day. Myself and my son really enjoyed the whole weekend in a great city and the result also went our way with Barca playing some great football and winning with their usual stlye. We are already looking to next season when we will be looking to do it again and have also recommended the ease of booking and quality service from your company to our friends.
Make sure that you get the metro multi jouney tickets sorted early on as that makes travel across the city so much better and easier during your trip.
