Traveler reviews
Murtaza Badri
★★★★★a month agoHighly recommend to reach 30 mins before the tour time. This gives one enough time to explore and enjoy the 2 floors of museum and take pictures. The tour groups start dead on time and they have ensured groups are of manageable size for each and everyone to enjoy the tour and can hear the guide loud and clear. Our guide calum was good. The tour was around 70mins. Starts from the museum through the stadium itself , stretford end , North stand, directors board, pressroom, players dressing room, bar68 and ends at the mega store where you can shop.

★★★★★4 months agoManaged to snap up a deal and visit the theatre of dreams with the family. Good length tour around the whole ground, going behind the scenes and a very knowledgeable tour guide pointing out all the historic areas of the ground. Excellent museum, which I recommend a decent 30 to 45 minutes in before your tour starts. Free parking was almost next to the ground, behind the trinity statue, follow sat Nav to E2, not N2 otherwise you have to turnaround. Plenty of photo opportunities for the family as well as formal ones, available in the shop at the end. Well worth a visit to the UKs largest football stadium (Wembley not being just for football) even if you aren't a Man Utd fan.
