Is there an extra cost for travelling solo?
We believe solo travellers should not have to pay more to travel so our group trips are designed for shared accommodation and do not involve a single supplement. Single travellers joining group trips are paired in twin or multi-share accommodation with someone of the same sex for the duration of the trip. Some of our Independent trips are designed differently and solo travellers on these itineraries must pay the single trip price.
Where will we stay during the trip?
Hotels (4 nts)
Is travel insurance required for my trip?
Travel insurance is compulsory in order to participate on any of our trips. When travelling on a group trip, you will not be permitted to join the group until evidence of travel insurance has been sighted by your leader, who will take note of your insurance details. When selecting a travel insurance policy we require that at a minimum you are covered for medical expenses including emergency evacuation and repatriation. A minimum coverage of USD200,000 is required. We strongly recommend that the policy also covers personal liability, cancellation, curtailment and loss of luggage and personal effects. Some tours include adventure activities that require extra coverage (e.g. crampon use); please review your itinerary and make sure that you are covered for all included activities. If you have credit card insurance we require proof of purchase of the trip (a receipt of credit card statement) with a credit card in your name. Contact your bank for details of their participating insurer, the level of coverage and emergency contact telephone number.
Itinerary

Welcome to Manchester
Manchester makes its own kind of impression. After being collected and transferred to your hotel, your CEO is on hand with the inside knowledge on where to go and what to explore. Take the afternoon to find your bearings in a city that rewards curiosity. When evening comes, the group heads out for a handpicked round of Manchester's finest local pubs — the kind of pubs that put the North firmly on the map.
-
Matchday at the Etihad
Today's the day. Your VIP Manchester City matchday begins with private group transportation and curated stops en route — pubs and streets alive with pre-match energy. At the Etihad you enter through the dedicated hospitality entrance and take your executive middle-tier seat — padded, well positioned and with lounge access throughout the day. A match programme, a full range of bars and food outlets and the kind of matchday atmosphere only Manchester City can generate. Post-match, the lounge is yours. Depending on kick-off time, your stadium tour may be included on this day. If that's not possible, don’t worry — it’ll be moved to another part of your football trip.
-
Football the local way
The Etihad is a hard act to follow. But that's the beauty of football in this city — it runs at every level. Today you experience it from the other end of the spectrum, with a grassroots match from the terraces where the grounds are small, the crowd is close and every decision is felt personally. Scheduled around kick-off, your CEO rounds the group up at a local pub for Premier League fixtures on screen and the kind of banter that only happens on matchday. The game always finds a way.
-
Manchester, off the pitch
Football done. Now Manchester gets to make its case. After a leisurely breakfast, a local guide takes you through the city's food scene — from the Northern Quarter's independent spots to neighbourhood haunts that reward the curious visitor. The rest of the afternoon is yours to explore at your own pace. Your CEO pulls everyone together one final time that evening for an optional dinner — the right way to end a trip to one of England's most proudly itself cities.
-
Departure day
Breakfast, one last look at a city that doesn't do things quietly, then it's time to go. Departures are at your leisure today.
