Jeff Fetzer, the Competitive Commissioner for the Houston Express Soccer Club came home with a bunch of smiling faces; “When making a significant investment in your child, you must trust your adviser. You trust word of mouth and testimonials but more importantly their experience, words and plan. Not having done an international soccer tour before, our team trusted Premier International Tours to provide the best soccer, cultural and travel experience and they delivered. They listened to our desires before, during and after the trip and met each need with flexibility and grace. Just as the Liverpool FC motto states, “you’ll never walk alone”, we were in a great partnership with Premier International Tours; a partnership that is sure to continue. The England tour was one of the best investments our parents have ever made in our players."
