Traveler reviews
Andy House
★★★★★2 months agoBrilliant value for money stadium and museum tour. Museum was incredible with the amount of Items on view. Would recommend booking as. Very popular. Time taken to photograph and video. Only point of note is no access to home dressing room. Club tradition which must be respected. Club shop also onsite for gifts and souvenirs.
Andrei Dumitru
★★★★★3 months agoIt was a complete experience, the tour is worth every penny. The museum is superbly created, very well thought out, very complex, with a lot of information. The stadium tour is delightful, with long stops and passages in the locker rooms, in the conference room, in the stands, on the pitch. Everything is perfectly thought out, a great experience!
