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.
Fear not ! This internet based company delivers. It was with some trepidation I booked tickets for El Classico as you pay for the package/flights/tickets upfront and the tickets are delivered to your hotel the night before the match. The booking process is straightforward and clever givng you the opportunity to match a hotel according to your budget/requirements, Rebecca was extremely helpful on telephone and by email contact, I received email updates, the hotel voucher arrived a week before as promised and the tickets were delivered to the hotel the night before the match as promised. Of course you accept you pay more than face value, but FootballBreak.co.uk deliver. I would not hesitate to use the company again. We had a great time.
Make sure you have arranged your transport back to the city centre after the match. Do not rely on flagging down a taxi!
Excellent trip and excellent value for money.Fantastic seats at San Ciro - worth the upgrade. Great atmosphere generated by both Inter and Verona fans. We arrived a couple of hours before the game to soak up the atmosphere and it was well worth it. Plenty to see in Milan but as with most of Italy - very expensive particularly within 1 Km of Doume. Metro fantastic value though and easy to navigate your way round the city on this. We used Terravision buses to transfer from Bergamo Airport to central Milan - really cheap and excellent service.
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.
Well organised trip with no hiccups. Although the match was brought forward 24 hours to our arrival day we had plenty of time to get to the game and savour the atmosphere which was slightly subdued but it was great to see the style of European football and the world's greatest footballer playing live.
The five day Metro card purchased at the airport was excellent value. I would recommend staying at a Eurostar hotel and the city bus tours on day one which give a good insight of the places to visit. Allow three days to see the major attractions although 5/7 days could be well spent.
