“A football club (Celtic) will be formed for the maintenance of dinner tables for the children and the unemployed” Brother Walfrid, Celtic Founder.

“Rangers FC. Do not enter unless you’re ready to put yourself second – and that should be the one and only time second is good enough for you.” Walter Smith.

The oldest rivalries in football!

They’re called the old firm for a reason! Discover the fanatical passion for football in this city as you experience a match at one of the world’s oldest clubs. Whether it’s Ibrox or Celtic, the partisan crowd will leave you in no doubt about what football means to this Scottish city.

The passion, the rivalries, the communities and the heritage.

Time to hear how it really is from a rare beast … a Glasgow football nuetral. Our Glaswegian footy expert will dive deep into the history of the rivalry between these two giants, explaining the religious, criminal and social divides that built and still separates the two clubs.

See you. ...

Underneath Glasgow’s shining new exterior, where trendy bars and pop-ups rub shoulders with art galleries and bold public sculptures, there remains a deep history tattooed onto the city’s walls and pavements. Let the streets tell their story as you’re guided by an ex-homeless person turned master tour guide.

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!
