www.algarvefootballtours.com - Algarve Football Tours for all your Football Tours abroad. Algarve, Portugal, Spain.

Ulysses FC is the representative side of the University of London graduates. We have been going on tour annually for the past 11 years, and I can safely say that this has been one of the best (if not the very best) tour for us.

The pitches were perfect, the weather was great, the accommodation was lovely, the opposition was very competitive, there was lots of food & beverage to keep us entertained and (most importantly) the organisation by Algarve Football Tours was excellent...and all with a smile. Tour costs also included referees, linesmen and photographer. We couldn't have asked for a better tour.
I would recommend Algarve Football Tours to any football team looking to go on tour.

Thank you!

Merton Football club plays in the Southern Amateur League and was celebrating its centenary so we decided to have a tour to Portugal and were fortunate enough to select Algarve Football Tours for the Algarve Football Tours Trophy May 2010. It was a tremendous event. Albufeira was a great location with very good accommodation, the grass pitches were superb, the games were of a good competitive standard and well refereed. All the games were played in good spirit. But the tournament and whole tour was brilliantly organised by Gary who was just so attentive to all our needs and every detail that the success of the event was assured. So I would recommend this unreservedly to any football club and book our place for next year.

This was our second consecutive year playing Destination Football after all the lads showed great interest in repeating what was supposed to be a one off tour. Gary's Algarve Football Tours didn't disappoint and the pre and post match arrangements from the coaches to the beers was very much appreciated. This year we were involved in a 3 team tournament that was perfectly organised without hitch. The matches were again played in great spirit and was enjoyed very much by all. See you next year!

“Gary’s professionalism, enthusiasm, and attention to every detail made this year’s End of Season Tour our best so far.

Destination Football provided the ideal opposition and the facilities at the Municipal Estadio de Albufeira were 1^st Class. The hospitality (including a massive barbecue) at the Stadium after the match was very much appreciated by our squad of 35. Aside from the football, Gary was “on-hand” all weekend to help us and allow us to make the most of our time in Portugal. I would have no hesitation at all in recommending the Algarve and Algarve Football Tours to other football clubs at all levels who wish to play the “beautiful game” overseas.”

Algarve Football Tours (Gary Thomas) had organised a great training trip for our boys in Portugal from 6 January till 10 January.

The accommodation (hotel Paraiso de Albufeira) was absolutely perfect, training facilities were great and the most important was that Algarve Football tours (Gary) everything had arranged from arrival till departure.

All the boys had a great time and they will never forget this trip.

For everyone who would like to have a great trip, Algarve football Tours is a great organisation to work with.

We enjoyed staying in Albufeira and our thanks go to Gary (Algarve Football Tours) for the great organisation.

It was great, Erwin Vogelzang -Vv Maarssen

We would like to say thanks for all your arrangements and hard work over the weekend . All the  group wish to thank you for everything.

We are already beginning arrangements for a tour back there next May, with hopefully a stronger, more sober team.

Once again many thanks and we hope to see you next year.

Thanks again for the footy, everyone enjoyed it and even though there were a few grumbles first thing in the morning everyone thought it was a perfect activity that everyone enjoyed - and it kept us out the pub!!
 

Will keep in touch, I have a feeling a lot of people would love to come back sometime including me!
 
Cheers, Pete
 

"From the moment we were met from the airport by 2 of Gary's drivers we knew we were in good hands.  Gary came to see us at our villa the night we arrived, and provided us with some local knowledge of Albufeira which was very helpful.  The football match he organised was fantastic and played in good competitive, but friendly spirit!  We were very pleased we won the match, and the BBQ and beers organised for afterwards was a fitting end.  I can recommend that if you are looking for something different to do on a Stag Do then ask Gary to organise it for you.  You can't go wrong!!"

Thanks Gary!

We had an unusual request in that we needed three games in three days and in different venues. We found Gary Thomas using Google, as we knew we needed a contact based near Faro Airport due to direct transfers from Newcastle. Everything was like clockwork. We arrived at the hotel welcomed by a placard showing our fixtures. Gary also used his contacts in the local press and radio to publicise our tour and the actual games and opponents were perfectly suited to our standard.
A fantastic tour, the best we've had yet and probably won't be matched. Will definitely be coming again or contacting Gary for advice for any future tours.

Algarve Football Tours were very professional and the whole game was well organised & had a very competitive match. Which we were pleased to win.

The venue was perfect and the bar was a good spot for an after match drink.

I'd just like to say thanks for everything you did for us over the few days we were there.  We really enjoyed the football and were glad we didn't totally embarass ourselves. We were even talking about making it a yearly event. 

Thanks for sorting the restaurant too, Jonny was 'well looked after'!

A memorable day was had by all, and thanks to Gary and his team I manage to pull off a tremendous stag party. The football tournament was very well organised with water and beers provided throughout the day and after the football had finished, we went on to a brilliant post match meal and presentation night. All the guys who came along appreciated the effort which was shown by Algarve Football Tours, not only on the football side of things, but the extra lengths which Gary went to helping us around Albufeira and ensuring we enjoyed our trip. Thanks again Gary, Cheers Adam.

The Beacon Dynamos (so named after the the sports hall in South Buckinghamshire where these old men, who fondly imagine they were once good at football, play a pedestrian five-a-side game every week and have done for the past twelve years) take their low altitude, high alcohol training camp each year on the Algarve, and thoroughly enjoy the hospitality and banter of the Destination Football team (always well turned out in fancy new footwear) whilst being soundly beaten. As long as our aging limbs and livers hold out we aim to be back to resume the challenge for many years to come.

We had a really good long weekend break in Albufeira, Portugal. On the Sunday we played Destination Football and they gave us a very good game. The facilities were superb, the match was played in great sprit and the post match beer was very much appreciated. We hope that they will have us back again next year for the re-match!
