1 star is even too much for Terry Tour Group. Avoid at all cost. A complete shambles from start to finish. Grass uncut, goal posts rusted and bent, holes and ponds in the pitches! A complete farce organised by a con artist if you ask me. Not one other football team we spoke too over the weekend was happy and all completely disappointed with the event and organisation. A shit show. 6.5 hours on first day for one 18 minute game and a 2nd game for 30 mins….. disgraceful organisation and would never in a million years book again with these. Completely over priced for a shit show. Everyone should be refunded for that crap that was presented as a suppose football tournament. Extremely disappointing and a disgraceful set up.

Avoid at all cost - Terry is a con artist
The only good thing about the whole trip organised by Terry was Nolan’s Coaches - comfortable air conditioned bus with friendly driver Niall.
Holiday Inn Express Manchester Arena - time delay with arrival & check in by 3.5 hrs, grubby rooms, uncomfortable broken beds-check in was a nightmare. Staff unfriendly & miserable looking. Breakfast awful.No customer service skills & understaffed for the amount of people they were expecting. Rooms need a whole revamp. Windows don’t open- so no fresh air getting in - rooms stink.
As for the Manchester Cup tournament-
pitches far from professional as stated on brochure- pitches owned by Council - not mowed properly for playing soccer games, huge holes on the pitches , goal posts rusted .
Facilities- 1 over priced burger van, 1 ice cream van & a stage with a lone singer. Had to walk a good 15 minutes to find a shop /coffee shop .
2 day tournament with 2 games per day with about 4 hours btwn each game.
Didn’t look like there was anyone organising the event Terry was nowhere to be seen . Refs biased to local teams.
Over aged players allowed on local team. Definitely 15/16 yr olds playing against our 2013 boys.
Terry is running a scam here please don’t fall for this
All above said - the company of the families we were with made this trip !!!
The boys have made memories & life long friend ships.

Absolutely shocking is how i would rate this tournament, the pitches were in a state not worthy of playing on. Potholes that would sink a car , goal posts broken and referees in a tracksuit.
Hours spent between games with no communication and only 2 games played on both days .
Horrendous experience.

do not book tour international
We just spent a weekend in Manchester for the football event. I’m completely confident in writing that every attendee from all over the world was completely underwhelmed by this organisation. We were over charged and under compensated. No organisation skills whatsoever. If they can’t organise a kick about in a public park with attached sport complex in the UK tell me how they could ever go international and make it a success. Busses were non existent to and from the pitch unless you could find “the guy” to chase up, pitches had grass halfway up the boys legs (been raining the week before apparently) - bear in mind it’s the UK lol. Big holes in pitches with puddles in them - the reply to that was shrugged shoulders, until a little boy had a serious injury due to the pitch conditions and only then a few of the sectioned off pitches were closed or deemed unplayable. Fixtures were not as described, last minute time changes, hours of waiting around, no team name taking, no official list of who’s in and where they are, no entertainment for the teams. A burger van a chip van and an ice cream van at the “internationally renowned tournament”. No amusements, fun stuff or anything. No bins either??? 2 public bins spilling all over the car park resulted in the pitches being absolutley strewn with bags of rubbish. Event “officials??” said, they didn’t think there would be so much rubbish??? What… you are bringing people from all over the world expecting them there all day with no food,drink etc?
Don’t forget the “presentation” at the end of the event, it’s not inclusive it’s - “here’s your medal, please leave”
It is embarrassing, scandalous & a complete waste of time and money. Save your teams and find something more reputable.

My advice , Do not attend
We attended the Manchester Cup this weekend .From start to finish, this tournament was nothing short of a disgrace. The conditions were completely unacceptable — pitches were dangerous and virtually unplayable, with large holes that resembled ponds. Goals were rusted and bent, with what looked like new nets hastily thrown on as a poor attempt to disguise their condition.
The organisation was equally appalling. Teams were scheduled to play four games but only ended up playing two, and even those were not run to schedule. We were left waiting around for hours between matches with no communication or explanation.
There was absolutely no one available to report issues to or take any responsibility on the day. It felt like there was a total lack of leadership or oversight throughout the entire event.
Refereeing standards were also deeply concerning, with officials appearing to be similar in age to the children they were meant to be supervising — completely inappropriate for a tournament setting.
To make matters worse, young kids were driving around on petrol scramblers during matches, creating a serious safety risk and adding to the overall chaos.
It is genuinely shocking that this company is charging people for what can only be described as a complete shambles. I would strongly advise anyone — especially those considering travelling from abroad — to avoid this tournament at all costs

Great organisation to work for
I have worked with Terry for many years over many festivals throughout different countries. This last festival at the Isle of Wight was the 2nd one at this location that I have worked with him. I find Terry to be honest loyal and a great person to work for. The people at the festival were very complimentary of how it was run and Terry was always visible at the tournament and accommodation locations. The payment he sent through was very prompt and I look forward to working with him again going forward.

Worked with Terry and his team for the last 2years on the rugby tournament.
It’s a well run tournament, the accommodations are great and the transportation was spot on.
Can’t wait for next years. Well done Terry and the team for another great tournament.

We as a business always try to give reviews when we can. this one is a little late. On May bank holiday 2025 we supplied event logistics & services to Tour International for their Isle of Wight Event . As an event supplier this was our first year of what we hope is many working for Terry and his team. From very early morning calls to very very late night calls Terry was always on the end of the phone great communication from start to finish. Terry and his team were very prompt at responding to quotes and request for payment on invoices.
Anyone looking for any event work on the Isle of Wight this would be a great place to start, good hourly rate, prompt payment, with 2025 staff wanting to return, I we think that sums it up really.
