Take the afternoon to settle in at your own pace, then join your CEO for a walk to Plaza de Cibeles, where fans have climbed the fountain to celebrate every major win for generations. From there, wind through the electric football bars of the city centre - the perfect way to kick off your trip.
To ensure you don't miss any of the opening action, please plan to arrive in Madrid by 3:00 PM on arrival day.
You will be met at the airport and transferred to the hotel to start your adventure.

Today's the day. Your VIP Real Madrid matchday begins with access to the Bernabeu Market hospitality area - enjoy buffet dining, relaxed premium seating, soft drinks, a cheeky beer or glass of wine before kickoff. When it's time, take your seat among thousands of passionate fans with panoramic views of the pitch. Round out the day with a behind-the-scenes stadium tour, on matchday or another day depending on kick-off.
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 football fixtures, La Liga match schedules are subject to change.

Yesterday: a stadium that's seen more trophies than most clubs manage in a lifetime. Today: see how it all began. A Spanish league match where every seat feels close enough to hear the studs hit the turf between every chant. Afterwards, your CEO gathers the group at a local football bar to catch La Liga fixtures alongside passionate Madrid supporters.
Your Spanish league match may feature a fixture from one of Spain's leagues below La Liga, offering an authentic local football experience through men's or women's matches depending on the schedule.
Watch a Spanish league match from the stands, where the energy is high, the seats are close and the game is unforgettable.
Football fix satisfied, start the day slower with a private walking food tour through Madrid's Old Town and Literary Quarter. Tuck into authentic tapas, regional specialties and, of course, chocolate and churros - don't mind if we do, picking up the stories behind each stop along the way. Spend the rest of the day exactly how you want to: revisit a favourite corner of the city, or relax before an optional farewell dinner with your group and CEO, swapping stories and reliving the week.
Follow your CEO through Madrid's Old Town and Literary Quarter, sampling tapas, churros and the city's best-kept culinary secrets.
After an unforgettable few days of Spanish football, enjoy free time to explore Madrid at your own pace.
One last breakfast, then it's time to say goodbye to Madrid - though nobody here would blame you for staying a little longer.

They will provide information on the places you are travelling through, offer suggestions for things to do and see, recommend great local eating venues and introduce you to our local friends. While not being guides in the traditional sense you can expect them to have a broad general knowledge of the countries visited on the trip, including historical, cultural, religious and social aspects.We also use local guides where we think more specific knowledge will add to the enjoyment of the places we are visiting - we think it's the best of both worlds.
