How Our Tours Work
-
The excitement is beginning to reach fever pitch at this point and our plans are well underway. We’ll reach out to you and ask for a few important details (port of arrival, best contact number, food allergies etc.) This is also an opportunity for you to give us a heads-up about any particular request or interest relating to the tour city, so we can make it as personable and tailored as possible.
We’ll also check you’re happy for us to create a WhatsApp group for you and the other legends on your tour.
Finally, we’ll start to share the details of the tour; the leagues will be shaping up nicely by now so we’ll help build the excitement at your end.
-
We’ll meet you at your port of arrival; this can be a train station, airport or a ferry terminal, however you’re joining us! Private transfer will be provided to your 4* hotel in the centre of the city.
From here, you will have time to check-in and get settled. With everyone gathered, we’ll go for a legends drink in a nearby bar and kick the tour off with our famous welcome games to help break the ice - it never takes long!
Following this, we’ll head out for some local cuisine and taste the local refreshments.
-
You’re in a fascinating European city, where history and culture spreads far beyond sport. Our private tour with an English-speaking guide will give you a truly authentic view of the city.
Following your morning excursions we’ll meet back at the hotel to debrief and share experiences.
The afternoon will be at your leisure and we can provide some top-tips for sight-seeing.
But, save some energy as in the evening you’ll be off to your first match day experience. This will be one off Europe’s major Ice Hockey or Basketball teams; where you’ll meet with the local crowds at the ground, grab a drink outside and soak in the pre-game atmosphere. Inside the arena we have premium seats for the fixture.
-
The morning will be at your leisure. Make sure you get to tick-off those must see items before we gather at lunch for your second big match day. This will be a top team in a major European city with incredible supporters; keep your eyes out for tifos, pyros and just about everything else.
After the match it’s off to a local brewery for some beer and to keep the energy high before more cuisine and your Saturday night in a brand new city!
-
Trip time! We’ll assemble for a day trip outside of our host city. The aim of this day is to provide a true football experience. We look for unusual clubs or matches which you may have never associated with an away trip but where the history and supporters will give you a unique insight into the true spirit of European football. We pick these games carefully for mayhem on and off the pitch. This is where you will see sport in its purest form.
While in the neighbouring city or town we’ll be sure to take you round culturally significant locations giving everyone time to explore.
-
There will be tears. Okay, there may not be tears. But we’ll all agree the weekend has gone by too quickly. Now is the time to share great stories, reflect on your amazing trip and plan your next adventure. Be sure to bottle up all your experiences ready to share with your home clubs and your friends.
Transfer is provided to your port of departure throughout the day after confirming timing details with you in advance. If you’re continuing to travel onwards in Europe, we’ll happily provide you with an endless list of tips and tricks.
-
Now dust has settled after your trip and you have reflected on the amazing memories and friends you’ve made, we’ll reach out with a summary of the tour, link to the photo album and with information on future events. Of course, we would love feedback so we can continue to provide the ultimate experience.
Once you travel with us as we build our football family.
Oh, and if this has increased your appetite for a trip outside those which we currently advertise - get in touch, nothing is off the table…!
Our Story
We’re George and Maroš — lifelong football and sporting obsessives who grew up on terraces, not in tourist brochures. We’ve been involved in the professional football game both at home and abroad, and have seen football in over 40 countries between us.
We focus on the heart of Central Europe’s fan scene, where pyro, derbies, and late-night beer halls are just part of the weekend.
Together we started Europe (Away) because we kept hearing the same thing from friends across the pond: “We want to see real football culture — not just stadium tours and sanitised tickets.”
So that’s what we built. Small-group weekends that put you in the middle of the action — big games, local derbies, hockey nights, Cold War history, and the nightlife that stitches it all together.
We’re not guides in hi-vis jackets. We’re fans, taking you where we’d take our mates. With you the whole way.
What our customers say
-

"The most crazy weekend of your life - do it, the guys are incredible!"
-

“I’ve been to Champions League games before, but this was something else. Standing terrace, flares going off, locals chanting in your ear. Just magic.”
-

“Berlin blew my mind. The atmosphere, the food, the people — and not having to plan a single thing made it even better.”
