London by Eric Cantona

They say North London is Red – come and see if it’s true.

From an Invincible history through to their exciting new era, it doesn’t get much better than the Gunners. This is the original stomping ground of icons like Henry, Wright and, of course, Sir Arsene Wenger: these boys know a thing or two about winning. Since 1886, Arsenal have racked up 13 league titles and a record 14 FA Cups. The Gunners are pretty used to playing on the big stage – and you’ll be visiting the biggest one of them all. No visit to London Town is complete without stopping by at the home of English football, Wembley Stadium. Soak up the heritage before making your way back to North London for a game at the mighty Emirates Stadium.

“When you start supporting a football club, you don’t support it because of the trophies, or a player, or history, you support it because you found yourself somewhere there; found a place where you belong.”

Dennis Bergkamp

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!
