Our professionalism, efficiency and attention to detail sets us apart from the rest and guarantees that everyone will return from the trip with memories and experiences they will never forget. Our European soccer tours are totally bespoke, we use no set itineraries, no set dates and no set prices. A Director will personally work with your club's DOC or team Manager/Coach to create a bespoke tour itinerary that meet the needs of not only the players but the coaches, parents and siblings, with an end goal of making sure the trip is a total football experience for everyone. It is this pledge that makes Total Football Experience a premium European Soccer Tours Specialist. In the UK we are based in the North West of England, the true home of football in the UK, where you will find Manchester United FC, Manchester City FC, Liverpool FC and Everton FC. We also use St. George's Park, the home of the England National Teams. With the emphasis always on quality over quantity we have adopted a unique personal approach whereby you will always deal with a Director who will not only thrive on the challenge of organising your perfect tour, but will also stay with you from when you arrive to when you depart.

Competing against high-quality opponents challenges players to raise their performance levels and develop resilience. The experience fosters teamwork and problem-solving as they adapt to unfamiliar environments and varying levels of intensity.

Hotels
When planning your soccer tour we are aware that we need to select hotels that are within your budget. In general we choose 3* and 4* hotels, some may seem basic, some have more amenities but rest assured our choice is down to location. In Europe hotel rooms are a lot smaller than in North America, especially in London, please do not complain as this is normal. You will spend such a small amount of time in your hotel room anyway it will not affect you enjoying your tour.
The types of room on offer will also be different to what you are used to. The most popular room is Twin Room for 2 people, this room has two single beds. You may also choose a Double Room for 2 people, this room has one double bed. For larger families you could choose a Triple (Family) Room for 3 people, this room will have one double bed and a sofa bed. Some hotels have a Quad (Family) Room for 4 people which will have a double bed, a pull out bed and a sofa bed. When Triple and Quad rooms are not available we can request rooms next to each other or at least close to each other. A few hotels have rooms with interconnecting doors. Any requests will be put to the hotel but they will not guarantee they can fulfil all requests.

Improve Social Skills
On a soccer tour, immersing yourselves in foreign culture can be a life changing experience for the players, coaches and family members. By making time to sightsee, whether that is visiting a famous stadium, museum or famous landmark, can be fantastic learning opportunity. Also, as a parent, watching your child interacting with the local people and trying traditional food is a social opportunity that should not be passed up.
There is undoubtedly no substitute for a real-life soccer experience in the wider world. Soccer Tours abroad provide a great opportunity for young players to gain such experiences and face a range of challenges that can contribute significantly to their personal and social development. A soccer tour could improve a players physical skills, health and fitness, personal knowledge, social and emotional development and the opportunity to set and achieve personal goals all in a foreign environment.

Sightseeing
Sightseeing in the UK offers a rich blend of history, culture, and unique experiences. In London, visitors can explore iconic landmarks like the Tower of London, Buckingham Palace, and the Houses of Parliament, experiencing the city’s royal heritage and architectural grandeur. The diverse cultural scene, including world-class museums like the British Museum and the Tate Modern, adds to the vibrant atmosphere. London’s parks, bustling markets, and neighborhoods like Soho and Camden offer a mix of tradition and modernity.
In Chester, sightseeing provides a glimpse into Roman and medieval history, with well-preserved city walls, the ancient amphitheatre, and the stunning Chester Cathedral. The unique black-and-white timbered buildings of The Rows and the tranquil River Dee add to its charm. Chester’s more relaxed pace contrasts beautifully with London’s bustle, making it a perfect complement for travelers seeking both urban excitement and historic charm.
