Everything went like clockwork. We especially liked the idea of printing off our match tickets, as it took away the element of when are our tickets going to arrive at the hotel. E-Mail communications were excellent throughout, particularly changes to match kick-off time. Milan is a vibrant city, easy to get around by tram and metro.
Purchase a day ticket for the tram / metro / bus. Only costs €4.50 Used it to get from the hotel into Milan City Centre and also to the San Siro. Limited time for sightseeing, take the Hop-On/Hop-Off Open Top Bus from near Milan Cathedral. 1 ticket covers all 3 routes.
it was for my 70th birthday. I went with my Son and Son in law. the complete packaging was fantastic. I would like to thank Rebecca for the way she organised everything for us, including new flights when Monarch airlines went bust. The hotel was great, the Zenit Borrell is about 20 minutes walk from the stadium, and 20 minutes walk into the centre of Barcelona, or you can use public transport. the atmosphere in the ground was electric, just sit back and take it in. make sure you take loads of photos, and video some of the singing. The match was great Barca v Valencia. 2-1 Barca. we did the stadium and museum tour the next day, which was really good, you get to go behind the scenes and see everything, including all the cups they have won, shirts, even the changing rooms, well worth the price. If you're a football fan just do it. This IS the company to book with, I can't praise them enough for the way everything was done, and the way they looked after us.
most of the stadium is open, so if it rains (it did for us a bit) then you will get wet. try and book a seat under the roof, it's at the players entrance side of the stadium. it works both ways I guess, if it's very hot, you will be in the shade, and stay cool
On the whole the package was as advertised
Brilliant trip. Correspondence with Football Break prior to, the information they gave us, the price and atmosphere at the San Siro were all absolutely spot on. Would highly recommend.
Get to the stadium early and spend time having a couple of beers outside and taking in the atmosphere with the locals.
Had a great time thanks to all at football break for everything. Hotel and flight all ok.
Tip!
Metro very busy on match day so get to ground in plenty of time.
