Quality
This indicates the overall quality of the tour operator's products. A low rating does not mean it is not good - it just means that it does not include as much, or perhaps is of a more standard quality than the higher quality tours. For example, a 3 star quality rating means that it is a more standard/economical tour, while 5 stars is a very luxurious tour that often includes a lot of amenities. -

Day
1Welcome 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.
To ensure you don't miss any of the opening action, please plan to arrive in Manchester by 3:00 PM on arrival day.

2Matchday 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.
Like all top-level fixtures, match scheduling can shift. Premier League match dates are typically confirmed around six weeks before departure, and your match may take place on Saturday, Sunday, or Monday once the final schedule is released. You will be notified once your matchday is confirmed.

3Football 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.
Your National League match may be any fixture from the leagues below the Premier League in the English football pyramid, including men's non-league divisions or women's league matches depending on the schedule.
