Want more?
We can tailor your tour to suit your requirements. The usual tour length is 3 nights (Mon-Thur), or 4 nights (Mon-Fri).
If you are looking to maximise fixtures or excursions, we would recommend a 4-night tour as you would have plenty of time to fit in 2 fixtures and 2 excursions during your stay.
Our standard method of travel is by coach with Dover/Calais ferry crossing, however if you’d prefer to travel Hull/Rotterdam, or fly to Netherlands, we can also arrange this for you. Please let us know.
We really enjoyed the tour. The other teams were excellent competition for the lads and played with great spirit and their attitudes were really admirable.
