Overview

There's nothing like attending a live soccer match in one of the UK's hallowed stadiums. The atmosphere is electric as the passionate crowds make every game an unforgettable experience. This is what an English Premier League tour is all about!

This soccer (or football as the Brits call it) puts you right in the action in two of the UK's top sporting cities, and as a kicker, you'll even be treated to a stadium tour. In both cities, Manchester and London, you'll see live team matches of your choice, as well as touring the National Football Stadium in London.

For a break away from soccer for the day, you'll take a road trip to the beautiful English countryside, visiting the stunning Cotswolds and Oxfordshire.

Arrival in Manchester

Hide details accordion
Arrival in Manchester

The revitalised city of Manchester is a boom-town of historic architecture, cutting-edge restaurants, international concert venues and literature festivals. Even during the city's hard years, Mancunians always prided themselves on their sporting legacy - indeed, it's what defines Manchester to this day.
The city is home to two world-class soccer teams: Manchester United and Manchester City. It's for this reason that Manchester is the ideal place to start your English Premier League Tour.
