The kids had an amazing time on the trip. My son really enjoyed all of the tours, matches and friendlies. It was an incredible learning experience for them all. 5 stars.
The soccer only portion for parents needs to be rethought. I don't think you should have to pay $700 to see your kids play 3 games in fields that are freely accessible to the public, which was really my main interest. The logistics of trying to get to all of professional matches and stadium tours was easy for the kids on the bus but not really feasible for parents. I had to take 2 trains to get from Manchester to Wales and then walk on the side of a country road with no sidewalk for 20 minutes to get to the first game. Then 2 trains to Stoke in the evening and one more train to return to Manchester at midnight. It would seem reasonable that for $700 you could ride along on the bus. It would also be very helpful to have the schedule of events, times, locations much earlier in the process so that you can plan your time and activities. Having access to your own tickets for events would also be helpful. 3 stars.
