Ultimate Real Madrid: 4 Day Football Adventure in Madrid
It’s the royal club of Spain, the second highest-earning club in the world, and one of the most widely supported. It’s never been relegated from La Liga, with a trophy cabinet almost as big as the 81,000 capacity Estadio Santiago Bernebéu including the most Champions Leagues ever. From di Stefano to Zidane, Real Madrid is the football of the Gods!
“2002. The Champions League final against Bayer Leverkusen. Two Madrid players, two legends, Raúl and Zidane, two goals, giving us our ninth European cup, and bringing us so close to La Décima we could almost taste it. Raúl’s goal, a curious mixture of perceptive cunning and cheerful scruffiness, followed by Zidane’s outrageous winning volley. Perfection.”
Angela, Real Madrid fan

Amazing from start to finish!
After finding this ‘once in a lifetime’ experience for my husband’s birthday it was a no brainer! From the minute we booked, the team acknowledged and knew who we were, being on hand with any questions. Upon arriving in Marseille, the team welcomed us at the hotel and were extremely accommodating with our later than planned arrival! And from that moment onwards, they were approachable, friendly, helpful, fun and extremely clear in organising a group of 50+!
I wasn’t sure how we would find an itinerary based trip, usually deciding what we do each day when away, but honestly, we would do it again in a heartbeat. The planned activities were all 10/10, unforgettable experiences – and the amount of ‘free time’ you get inbetween to do your own thing and explore the area balances it all out.
The trip was surreal, an experience you wouldn’t ever dream possible (especially for my Husband, meeting and spending two days with his all time football hero!!).
Don’t even hesitate when considering booking, the memories you make and the people you meet are worth every penny!
Thank you again to Dharma and LookingFC for making my husband one happy man 😂🙌🏻 and for giving us the trip of a lifetime!
