WHAT TO EXPECT

Global Players (GP) Team Tours are based on the philosophy that participants will be travelers, not only tourists, by the end of their trip. Our programming focuses on Athletes and Teams being immersed in the Host Culture by:

Staying at hip hostels, homestays, or 3-4* star hotels—you choose.
Breaking into smaller groups for an authentic experience
Taking local transport as much as possible
Cooking classes with local ingredients
Market, Museum, and City Tours

PRICING

We believe travel is for everyone. Therefore we offer two (2) pricing options for Teams with different Budgets:

Option 1: $495 per person — Program Deposit + Development Everyone starts here. In this stage, we create a Custom Itinerary based on your Sport, Dates, Destination, and Tour Vision. Then you get a ‘live’ version with direct links/contacts to GP Partners all over the world including Teams, Tournaments, Tours, Travel, Accommodation, Restaurants and more. If saving money is a priority, you can save up to $500-800 per person making bookings directly with GP Partners supporting you in-country.
Option 2: $2495 per person — Full Execution + Program Leader If you would like a full-time Program Leader with your Tour, this option is for you. Global Players will make the bookings for you and lead the trip in-country. Your Program Leader is with the group 24/7, providing local insight and handling on-tour logistics.

HOW IT WORKS

We created 5-day Tours to mix-n-match! To build a 10-day tour, choose 2 cities, enter you preferred Start Date, # of Travelers, and add both to your cart.

Booking: During checkout, please indicate your TEAM NAME and if you would like Option 1 or 2 under “add a note to your order”. If Athletes are paying separately, make sure everyone selects the same Tour(s) and Option. One point person is designated to work with Global Players, for example a Coach or Team Manager.

Payments: You will have 2 payments. The non-refundable Deposit ($195 per person) is charged at booking to start your Program Development. We will bill you later for the Remaining Balance (variable).

Next Steps: Once your Booking is received, a dedicated GP Tour Consultant will contact you to start planning your Tour!

Think of Amsterdam, and you cannot help but think of water - the city is built on 60 per cent reclaimed land, which the Dutch continue to wrestle from the sea with a series of dunes, dykes and dams. The city's distinctively crooked skyline is the result of a deliberate non-straightening policy for historical buildings - 21,000 are on the official monument list - as they slide gracefully sideways on their wooden piling foundations. The nations capital has no fewer than 7,000 of the city's buildings listed, most of them the high-gabled 18th-century houses that line its iconic canals. But unlike other museum-quality metropolises - Bruges, Vienna or Venice, for example - its soul is young: a vibrant mix of bars, brothels and bicycle bells.
