This was my first time abroad as a single parent and I was feeling anxious at the thought of going, however... From the moment of booking I felt totally relaxed, safe and secure. The whole process of booking everything through football break made it so easy and the service was totally professional. Staff were helpful and friendly and the paperwork, itineraries, tickets etc were all in place when they said they would be, flights were on time and the game??? Wow!!! The stadium was amazing. There was no trouble and the crowds disseminated from the ground with ease. 92915 people were in the stadium that day and I was overwhelmed by this experience. I loved it. Barcelona has many fabulous buildings and the people were lovely. I wouldn't hesitate do go again and will definitely book through football breaks again.

Take a couple of extra days break if you can as there is so much to see and do and not enough time in a short weekend.

Travelled with my adult son to see his favourite club and player. The Nou Camp is a wonderful stadium. We had excellent seats (which I had upgraded) under the press box, and the atmosphere created by the fans was fantastic. We saw Suarez score at the start of the match and Messi score his 400th goal for the club in the final minute of the game.On the following day we did the stadium tour and the city bus tour.

The hotel in the Eixample area of the city was lovely and taxis to and from the stadium cost only 7 euros. The organisation of the trip took all the pressure off us. Neither of us had been on an organised trip like this before and didn't know what to expect. It was excellent and we plan to repeat. There is a tradition of fathers and sons having breaks like this but I can recommend it highly to mums and sons (or daughters).

Taxis in and around the city are quite inexpensive. If you taxi from the airport there is a supplement to pay

Wonderful weekend away, lovely hotel apartments with a little kitchen. Central Barcelona easy to get around, brilliant seats for the game and all went smoothly. Football Breaks were always helpful and available to answer my questions. Would definitely recommend this company!!

The booking process is extremely simple and straightforward with good communication and regular email updates. All documents required are sent well in time. The only tricky bit was the printing of the boarding passes on the Easyjet website. Why Easyjet insists on getting you to 'check in' online is a total mystery as you still have to check in at the airport. Long queues at the so called 'bag drop area' (check in desks really) so make sure you allow at least 45min for your 'bag drop'. Boarding is also the usual long queue and generally runs late. Flight with Easyjet need no further explanation...

We decided to use the train/metro from Malpensa Milan airport to out hotel. It is quite a long way where you have to get the (free) bus shuttle from Terminal 2 to T1 and catch the train there. The train goes via Saronno to Milan Central. From there we caught the Metro to our hotel metro station and a 10min walk. Clean and efficient trains and metro. A bit of a shock when we got to street level in the Financial District of Milan; grafiti on every building (yes really) gave the impression of a very rough neighbourhood. It wasn't until the end of the next day that we realised that every building in Milan has grafiti on some wall somewhere. Unbelievable but true. Once you get 'used' to that Milan is a truly beautiful city with friendly people and we felt pretty safe all the time.

Only in very busy places such as the Duomo Square you need to watch your purse/wallet. At those places there are also very intimidating street sellers trying to flip on wristbands with cable-ties(!). Keep your hands in your pocket and avoid them. Otherwise Milan is very enjoyable with some amazing sights, sites, shops and green spaces.

On Sunday night we watched AC Milan play at the San Ciro stadium. An amazing experience with some great Italian football. Very safe around the stadium, great atmosphere and amazing views. Instead of burger vans you get Panini vans with char-grilled peppers instead of onions. A few chip stands but very few fried food. How refreshing! Lots of AC Milan memorabilia stands of course. Hotel was superb and comfortable in a good area; some good little restaurants if you go off the beaten track. Good value too. A great experience overall and a very enjoyable weekend.

We decided to stay in a hotel as close to the San Ciro as possible and we were glad we did as the match did not finish until very late. We could walk back to the hotel and was safe to do so.

My son and I had an absolutely fantastic trip and experience. We booked the full package of Flight, Hotel and Match ticket and I upgraded to the Level 1 Match ticket. I was then very fortunate to be upgraded to VIP Hospitality which was an added bonus. Prior to my trip, i must commend the excellent communication which was provided by the Football Breaks team, who were both courteous and extremly knowledgable & helpful. I would highly recommend the company to others and will certainly book again. Thank you

Ensure you visit the main attractions and ensure you do the Ground Tour at both Real and Atletico Madrid. The transport links are fantastic and the Metro allows you to travel everywhere required.
