Below are testimonials from some of our recent college trips:

"Our team's trip to Barcelona, Spain was absolutely amazing. Excel Sports did a fantastic job of organizing every event down to the smallest detail. Our matches were extremely challenging and the venues first class. We saw two phenomenal matches that had atmospheres that left our group speechless. I highly recommend taking a tour with Excel Sports if you are looking for a trip of a lifetime."
-- B. Wnek, Loyola College, Spain

"It was a great trip"
-- Sasho Cirovski, University of Maryland, England and Scotland

"The trip was outstanding for the team's chemistry. Being able to experience another culture, play competitive matches and have fun the entire time is what we were looking for, and that is exactly what we got. The accommodations were good, and having access to a "soccer mind" tour manager was beneficial both on and off the field. We thoroughly enjoyed working with Murray. Being field level at Old Trafford to see Manchester United was an obvious highlight - an experience we still talk about"
-- Alf Bilbao, Head Coach, Truman State University, England

 "When we decided to plan and schedule this tour we had three goals in mind -- quality training sessions and competitive matches, cultural experiences in London and Glasgow, and the ability to bond as a team and interact with the local population in both countries. Excel Sports Tours provided us with an exceptional tour experience that exceeded all of our expectations. We would use them again and would recommend them for other colleges that may consider this experience."
-- G. DiBartolo, Salisbury University, England and Scotland

"We thoroughly enjoyed the trip with Excel Sports. It was of great value and the attention to detail was excellent. I greatly appreciated having a tour director with our team throughout the trip and I would recommend them for any team looking for a great pre-season tour."
-- Devin O'Neill, Gettysburg College, England

 "Our team tour to Italy was a fantastic experience and a great opportunity for many of our players who had never left the US, or played competitive soccer outside the country. The expertise shown by Excel in the arrangement and follow-thru of this trip was invaluable" 
-- Craig Lee, Millikin University, Italy
