Stadium tour in Manchester and Liverpool

League One football match in Wigan

Hello everyone! Are you ready to see two or three of the most famous football stadiums? If you are an english football fan, you should join me in this trip! Manchester and Liverpool are two of most famous cities in the world, speaking about football (soccer for american friends). Manchester United FC and Liverpool FC... these two teams are known in the entire world for their history, their successes, their fans and... their beautiful stadiums! Old Trafford, in Manchester, has about 75000 seats, and here football legends like Sir Bobby Charlton, George Best, Eric Cantona, David Beckham, Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney played. It's also the stadium where Sir Alex Ferguson has been United's coach for 27 years. Anfield was built before the 1900, and has more than 50000 seats. Here other legends like Kenny Dalglish, Ian Rush, John Barnes, Steven Gerrard played, as now Mohammed Salah plays. I had the opportunity to be in these two cities in may 2016, visiting Old Trafford and City of Manchester stadium (home of the Manchester City FC), so here I am to bring you there, to enjoy this beautiful atmosphere, but this time I'd like to see Anfield too, and I want to do it with new travel mates! The City of Manchester stadium is the home of Manchester City FC, and it's a more recent stadium, that you will love too. And what about the football match? Well, to find tickets for a Premier League match, especially for a group of foreigners, it might be quite difficult, even in minor leagues, like Championship. So, after a long research, I found out the way to see a football match of League One (third english division) in Wigan. Anyway... it's not just football! Liverpool is also known as the Beatles city: we will walk in the town, following their history too, finishing our walk with a fish&chips lunch! About Manchester and Liverpool, in march it might be a little cold and rainy, but it's also a good period to visit. And if you want to enjoy the real english atmosphere... this won't be a problem! WHAT'S INCLUDED: Old Trafford, City of Manchester and Anfield tours are included (just remember they are guided tours, in english language). The League One football match between Wigan and Blackpool. You can check better below what else I included. I added a little buffer, just in case of unespected changes, and also a very little trip leader fee.

ABOUT ME: I'm Alessandro, an italian 37 years old certified tour leader (I passed the exam just in september 2023, with english and spanish qualifications), and I have a special connection with the city of Manchester: it has been my first destination in 2016, after a bad sickness who affected me in 2015, and it has been my first trip, the one who encouraged me to travel. So I'd like to reply it as my first guided tour. I travelled in 19 countries so far, and I always planned by myself itineraries and activities... that's why I decided to do it as a job. WHO CAN JOIN ME? In my trips, everyone is welcome: alone travelers, friends, couples, families. I love kids. There are no age limits! I like waking up early, exploring all day, and going to bed no too late. I'm not a party-guy, if I can say so, but I love meeting people and share good moments with them :-) I also follow an alcohol free life ^.^ COME ON, FOOTBALL FANS! This little trip to feel the english stadium atmosphere is just waiting for you! Feel free to contact me for any questions.

ACCOMODATION: Due to England high costs, for our stay I choosed an hotel located in Salford (Manchester), a little far from city center (but to go to the center, there is easy public transport). This way, rooms are cheaper. I have been in the same hotel in 2016, and felt very well. It's a two stars hotel, with toilet and bathroom in every room. You will sleep in a twin bedroom, with separate beds. If you need a single room, or a family room (maximum three beds), just let me know and I'll tell you the cost difference. I alredy spoke with the structure. Breakfast is included. There is no hair dryer in the rooms, but it can be rented asking for it. The room temperature is adjustable up to 24°C in winter times. There is of course free wifi, and also a 24h open reception, where there is too a drink and food machine. If you arrive early or leave late, you can drop your baggage.

New town, new story... new stadium! We will take a train from Manchester Victoria station to go to Liverpool. Once there, we will take a two-three our walk in the city, to see the most important monuments and follow the Beatles history. We will start from Lime Street train station to go to the big Liverpool Cathedral. Than we will visit the harbour with its monuments: the Beatles and Titanic monuments, and if you want, we can take a look from the top of the ferris wheel. We will pass close to the Cavern Club, where the Beatles played their first times, and we will have a fish&chips lunch.
