the overall package of the trip was excellent.the hotel was basic but thats all i required as there was just 2 men going.the flight was good and the tickets i requested were in the top tier but that is all i asked for.the atmosphere was really good.overall the package was as i requested and the service i received was excellent.the only down side to madrid wasat the time we were there the street cleaners were on strike .the streets and side streets was covered in not just litter but all kinds of rubbish

the metro is a lot easier to use than i first thought and also a lot cheaper than taxis

Would like to thank football breaks for a great service provided in making this a trip of a lifetime. They provided information on all available flights, a great selection of hotels and of course guaranteed seats with the option of upgrading if required. Which we did. Basically a great package. I e-mailed football breaks a couple of times with questions regarding my upcoming trip and was very impressed with a speedy personal reply. I visited Madrid for Real Madrid v Real Sociedad and found it to be very warm, friendly, football loving city. As for the Bernabeu.... What a stadium.

I have two tips to offer travellers to Madrid. Use the Metro system. Very easy to use. €4.90 from the airport to the city centre and €1.90 to get around the city. The second tip. Do the stadium tour. Very good.

Total package excelled expectations, slight problem with triple room at hotel, but after one quick telephone call to the emergency number supplied all sorted within five minutes. Would recommend Football breaks over any other company and much easier than booking everything oneself.

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.

I took my 15 year old son to see Barcelona play against Espanyol who is extremely passionate about his football and they won 1-0, our only disappointment was that Messi didn't score however it didn't dampen the experience whatsoever. We've been to many places around the world but I will never forget my son's face when he saw the stadium, I've never seen him so overjoyed. I'm not a big football fan but enjoyed every minute of it. The representatives were extremely helpful always replying to me very quickly with any queries I had. The atmosphere in the stadium was something I have never experienced, my son didn't want to leave. Barcelona city is an amazing place, we saw so much in just 2 days although it was tiring. The Senator Hotel was lovely, the staff were very helpful and the bonus was that it was just a 5 minute walk from the ground. We wouldn't think twice about booking with football break again. We had an amazing time and have memories we will cherish forever.

I personally feel that it is a must to do the stadium tour, you will definetly be impressed. I would also advise purchasing a one or two day bus tour ticket which takes you all round the city and picks you up right outside the stadium, you also receive a coupon booklet which has a discount voucher inside for the stadium tour.
