Football road trip Easter weekend

Just got back off our football road trip from over the Easter weekend, great experience.
Night out in Brussels on Friday, Dortmund yellow wall on Saturday followed by a night out in Düsseldorf. Sunday a late change in itinerary as we’re meant to watch Ajax but because of late kick off we went to FC Twente instead before heading out for our last night in Amsterdam.

Ally our guide was brilliant all trip, sorting tickets, helpful and showing us best bars in each place 👌🏻

Only negative was communication could have been better both before and during the experience from the trip organisers.

Great weekend for 50th

Booked this trip many months ago to celebrate 50th birthday. Communications pre-trip were not the greatest but as soon as Ally our guide made contact it was perfect thereafter. Great bunch of people on our minibus which made the travelling enjoyable.

First night in Brussels, Ally our guide took us around the bars.

Next day Dortmund, wow, what an experience! Never seen so much beer drunk before a game seemed like everyone around you had a bottle or can in their hand. 81500 at the game and non stop singing from both sets of fans. To be able to experience being in the yellow wall was amazing and what an atmosphere. Ally our quide knew exactly where to get a spot at the back of the stand. We went into Dusseldorf on the night and never seen so many bars and clubs in one area. The hotel we stayed in was brand new and had a 24 hour bar. We managed to have a good chat with Keith Gillespie who was on our trip as well.

Early start next day for FC Twente v Cambuur as it was a 12.15 ko but although the atmosphere was good it was never going to match that at Dortmund but it was still lively. Got in Amsterdam early and Ally then took us around the Dam and into bars and down the red light district.

Big shout out to Ally for making the weekend perfect and getting us to hotels, bars, and the grounds before the other minibuses had arrived.

Brilliant experience

Well what can I say being the only girl on the trip I was made too feel welcome from start to finish.

Ally our tour guide was exceptional got were we needed to be on time and made sure our group was sat together.

We went too see Borussia Dortmund vs FC Union Berlin the Yellow wall experience was out of this world none stop the whole match, the next day we went onto see FC Twente vs SC Cambuur again another great experience.

Our last night at Amsterdam again another great experience due too our tour guide Ally knowing we're all the good pubs clubs and restaurants where, even took us all the red lights for the experience.

Would like too thank Ally for everything he did too make our trip an experience too remember.

Definitely do it again with a few of our friends and would love too have Ally as our tour guide again 😊

If I could give them a 0 I would

If I could give them a 0 I would, where do I begin? So my partner and 4 other friends were supposed to be going on a trip back in February all paying a little over £800 in full booked and paid for hotel and transport totalling an extra £200pp on top as they live 5 hours away from London, they were then informed the trip was actually non existent fair enough.. moving on they rebooked on to another trip supposed to be running on the 21st of April 2023 and were under the promise of a hotel for the night before on behalf of the company to compensate the loss of their previous error, well this is where everything goes down hill, between January and now despite numerous efforts to talk to someone about the trip or the itinerary and for confirmation been passed around from pillow to post with numerous exchanges on their behalf blaming covid for the poor lack of communication, finally got through to conman kai the owner and when asked a simple yes or no question became aggressive and blatantly rude trying to tell me the trip due to leave on the 21st of April is unlikely to go ahead now I'm sure a lot reading this will agree 2 weeks notice is absolutely disgraceful, kai then tried to tell me the £800 paid off each my partner and his friends was irrelevant to him and laughed. When I asked for a refund I was again spoken to like an idiot and told it would not be possible as the business was owed 1000s of pounds, I'd like to clarify not a single penny of that is owed by the group at all so tried to figure out why we would possibly care about his situation when he's done nothing at all to resolve ours, under no circumstances would I ever recommend this company to anyone unless you fancy giving away £800 to a conman and business led by clowns. Anyone who's booked before reading this i hope you have details for a good solicitor as you'll need one if you'd like your money back.

Dortmund trip

Just returned from our weekend trip with FRT. This trip was originally booked pre Covid so was happy/relieved to finally get on it.
15 lads from Yorkshire.
Friday was pickup from st pancreas
Met Kai the md & our guide craig who would be with us all weekend.
Busses were great we had a full bus of 15 lads which when full were a bit intimate would have been a bit awkward in some seats if you didn’t know one another.
Beers on bus all sound had a good laugh whilst traveling & getting to know craig.
Friday Brussels
Saturday Essen
Sunday Amsterdam
All hotels were 4* not a problem with any of the hotels were very nice.
Saturday Dortmund v Koln stood on the yellow wall.
What an amazing experience it was will never forget that absolutely fantastic.
Our guide craig knew everything from where to stand what times to get in the stadium what to do pre match literally all bases covered would’ve struggled without him guiding us & by end it was genuinely like having one of lads with us a great guy.
Sunday was meant to be Ajax but because policing we was unable to attend (we knew this prior to travelling)
Was offered fc twente but we wasnt interested in that fixture so instead we went into Amsterdam on the Sunday & had beers paid on for us while watching the footy.
All in all a great weekend with friends with plenty of memories been made.
Craig was 5 star can’t thank him enough.
One thing I will say it that the communication between FRT & party’s traveling could do with improving got quite stressful at times pre trip.
But all in all a great weekend was had & the operation run smoothly & was a big success.
Thanks again…Nicky F

AVOID THIS COMPANY!!!!

I bought this trip for a birthday present and on paper it ticked all the boxes for a perfect trip away.Unfortunately what they promise and what you get is completely different.The "luxury buses" are far from luxury and dont have PlayStation`s as advertised.They said that the bus company has just informed them that they cant be used anymore but after speaking to the driversthey have not been used for a while.The hotels are meant to be 4 star but the ones we stayed in were 3 at best.On the final night we arrived at a hotel to be told that they had no booking for us! After hanging around for 45 minutes we were then told to make our own way to another hotel as the drivers had parked up for the night.The owner soon disappeared when people started to become annoyed and left his staff to deal with the complaints.

The communication prior to the trip was non existent and we were receiving calls 9pm the night before advising of fixture/destination changes.We arrived at the meeting point the morning of the trip and was told a driver had called in sick so we were waiting for nearly an hour for the other driver to arrive.We were told that we had tickets to watch Antwerp but was then told that they had been cancelled so would drive to Dusseldorf to watch premier league matches in the pubs.

Since returning i have messaged the company to ask about a reimbursement for not delivering what he promised on the trip.I got a number of long worded responses basically saying that he lost a lot of money putting the trip on and the owner nearly lost his house! I explained that i struggled to see how they lost any money and at the end of the day thats not my proble.He advertised a trip and i paid the amount he asked for but he did not deliver what was promised.

I have read other reviews on there facebook site and a lot of people have had a similar experience.The positive comments come from people who work for him so dont be fooled by those.It would have been a lot cheaper to pay for a flight to Germany and watched Dortmund rather than driving across Europe for 4 days.

Since leaving this review i have been asked to remove the bit where i mentioned the owner of the business which i have done but this also gives me the opportunity to add a bit more about the company.I have tried to make contact been ignored and also blocked from leaving any reviews on there facebook site.I can still see the comments and there are a lot of people who have had an even worse experience than myself.A lot of people have had there trips cancelled last minute and not received a full refund.They are told to pursue the issue through the court system.I can not stress enough to stay away from these people and book with a different provider! Please Please read the comments on facebook and trustpilot so you see a true picture of this con of a company!

Amazing weekend of beer and football

Had an amazing weekend visiting 4 countries in 4 days and experiencing the Yellow Wall in Borussia Dortmund was definitely one ticked off of the bucket list. We were supposed to go to the FC Twente game as well but we asked if we could head straight to Amsterdam for a night out instead because of the late kick off. They were more than happy for us to do this. The hotels were top quality and definitely 4 or 5 star. Had great nights out in Brussels, Düsseldorf and Amsterdam with our guide Oliver who took us to some great bars. Would definitely recommend to anyone who enjoys beer and football. Oliver looked after us all and made sure we always had plenty of beer on the bus. We are already talking about planning another trip next season.

Amazing Stag weekend

Fantastic experience and weekend for a stag-do. Couldn’t have asked for more. The Dortmund v Leipzig game was by far the best atmosphere at a football game I’ve ever seen, and for Dortmund to win 2-1 was amazing. The night out in dussledorf afterwards was brilliant loads of cool pubs and lots of options for food. We decided to miss the second game, as some of the stag party had never been to amsterdam, so we got to spend the whole of our next day exploring everything that Amsterdam has to offer. The hotels were all fantastic easily 4* no PlayStation on the bus but the chat and banter made the time on the coach fly by. Plenty of beer was provided by football road trips and our driver was always more than happy to stop for toilet breaks or to grab a quick snack. Special mention to our guide Steve who did a fantastic job of showing us around and checking us into hotels etc, so we didn’t have to worry about anything. Hands down one of the best weekends of my life, memories that’ll last a lifetime. Highly recommend to anyone.

An amazing experience

Went away with frt this weekend and honestly had one of the best weekends of my life. We went to Borussia dortmund v Leipzig and fc twenty v heereveen (due to fixture changes).
Being in the yellow wall was incredible with a brilliant atmosphere and something off the bucket list but the best times we’re on the coach and out in the cities. Our guide nick was brilliant and a great guy and the rest of the boys on the bus were a great laugh too. Going to take a while to recover but already thinking about booking another.

Dortmund v leipzig

Went to Germany for dortmund v Leipzig, atmosphere was incredible. The bus was spacious, comfortable and even had a fridge that was never not full of beer. The guide Nick was incredible throughout the full trip and really helped make the trip as good as it could be for my wee brothers 16th. He was right up for a laugh, a right football man and a top guy👌

Trust the process and you won’t be disappointed

Just come back from Dortmund Vs RB Leipzig and FC Twente Vs Herneven matches and we had an absolute blast! Yes there was some complications with the game day changing and we ended up watching FC Twente instead of Ajax, but still an entertaining 3-3 draw! Brett was a friendly guide and supported our driver who was on his 1st trip! We had ex Man Utd player Lee Martin who came on our bus and was great value with his stories (although don’t trust him at football legends Top Trumps 😉. The hotels were very nice and definitely the 4 star quality advertised. There were no PlayStations on the bus but that didn’t detract from the laughs and jokes with mates! The communication prior was a little last minute and made me slightly nervous but it all worked out positively! The atmosphere at the games was very special and if you are football fans I would definitely book a trip away!

A weekend to remember for sure

A weekend to remember for sure! I travelled solo and that didn’t put me off as this was something I’ve always wanted to do. Kai (Our FRT leader) and the lads who travelled from Wales were very good to me and had a good laugh. Hotels were nice, some lively bars we visited as well in good spots. As for the football Schalke fans were very impressive and definitely worth the experience. Psv we had great seats and a entertaining match but atmosphere wasn’t anywhere close to what we saw at Schalke. Glad to have experienced football in a different perspective with 3 countries and 2 matches and all the beers in between!

Top Footy Road Trip

10 of us on the trip we had a great laugh. It was a fantastic experience and were impressed with the football tickets - some of which were in the Nordkurve for the Schalke game. Kai has lots of contacts and tried his hardest to get us the best tickets. Well organised on each of the days and not too hurried. Only disappointment was bus entertainment but we made up for this with the singing and beers flowing. Great to have Lee Martin accompany us. Would recommend and definitely go again.

Great Weekend

Had a fabulous weekend with amazing bunch of friends. After a slow start with communication due to extremely busy schedule the weekend before, FRT were very helpful. We had WhatsApp group where all the meeting times and locations were put together. The advertised PlayStation and tv were not available but, that didn’t bother our group. It was my first time visiting Europe to watch football and this trip did not disappoint. The Schalke v Stuttgart atmosphere was amazing and one that will stay with me for a very long time. Once we get over the hangovers we will definitely be looking to book another trip next year.

Top trip!

Top trip! Tickets to see Schalke which was an unbelievable experience and brilliant seats at the PSV game. Even though we received the itinerary pretty close to the date we were going, once we was there the trip was well organised and Kai who ran it could do enough for you. Travel was pretty smooth throughout and hotels were a good standard. Overall great trip.

Great trip to Shalke and PSV

Great trip to Shalke and PSV, excellent seats and atmosphere in Shalke is definitely one to try out. Well stocked beer all weekend, Kai and Lee were great hosts and looked after us well. Weekend is action packed but we’ll worth it so thanks again 👍
