Package was so easy to put together. Couldn't of been easier. Didn't need to speak to any representative as everything was so well organised. The atmosphere at nou camp was unbelievable ( even though it was cold as it was Jan) we got there early to soak up atmosphere. We upgraded the seats and really pleased we did we were in middle tier behind the goal and messi scored....excellent. Pre book the stadium tour as its so worth it!
Tip: Check how far hotel is away from airport...45euro in taxi.
The hotel was only 5 stops on the metro which was only a 5 mins walk away from our hotel. The flights were fine with no delays, the match tickets were waiting for us at the hotel reception , I didn't even ask for them as they were passed to me with the room key when we checked in. The experience of seeing the nou camp for real took our breath away due to the actual size of it. I couldn't fault the whole package from the day I booked it to the getting all the information approx 10 days before we went as was said when I booked the package.
If you go in January make sure to wrap up warm as it was pretty cold on the night.
This was our third trip with football break to Barcelona and, like the first two trips, the whole package was excellent. The upgraded match tickets offered by footballbreak were well worth the extra money as we got a great view of the game in both halves. The game itself was great to watch, two top teams made for a fantastic atmosphere and to see the worlds greatest player score the winner in a 3-2 Barcelona win, we couldn't have asked for any more.
In terms of the city, there is endless things to do and places to visit in Barcelona, I'd personally recommend buying a two day ticket on a jump on-jump off tour bus which enables you to visit almost all of the city's great attractions at your own speed. As previously stated, this was our third trip with footballbreak and I would recommend them to anyone, great value for money, simple to book and always on hand to answer any questions.
For future fans visiting Barcelona I'd recommend extending your trip an extra day or two as its a place with so much to do. The stadium tour at the Nou Camp is a must, as is a look around the Sagrada Familia and of course a long walk down the Ramblas.
The total package was excellent. Hotel was 5-10 min walk from the stadium and close to convenience stores and bars. The atmosphere was fantastic as we was only 3 rows from the front and close to the Madrid fans who constantly chant the Madrid songs. I'd prefer to have a total package rather than separate after this experience. The representatives of football break were brilliant, we was greeted inside the stadium and shown to a VIP area which needless to say was amazing. Madrid is a very nice city, easy to navigate due to a system similar to New York City, we took a tour of the city and really needed a day or two to explore, but more reason to go back in the future!
Do the stadium tour and visit the club shop! The tour is truly incredible and you could spend most of your day in there!
our trip was originally booked by our kids, flying out from Gatwick and returning to Luton , but a few minutes on the phone and everything got sorted out at football break,we flew from Prestwick international to Girona and arranged a separate airport transfer to Barcelona, the seats at Camp Nou were excellent and we had 5 goals in the match with Barca winning.i would say the hotel was overrated (4* ... 3*'s at a push) but that is down to the hotel its self and not with football break. our location was spot on 10 minutes in the metro and we arrived at the stadium.
make good use of the metro system , its easier than you think, be sensible with your belongings as it has a reputation for pick pockets.
