The Ultimate Road Trip European Style
Eurosportours is the number one sports travel company hosting North American hockey teams in Italy and Switzerland. For over two decades we’ve hosted over two thousand players, coaches, and supporters.
Having lived and coached professionally in Italy, Britain and Switzerland, owner Brad Doshan understands the needs of a team on the road. From matching the team’s competitive level, balancing travel, managing staff, Brad oversees every tour. This creates a unique “home ice advantage” and it shows as Eurosportours prides itself on providing exceptional team leaders and tour guides.
Your team competes against local teams while enjoying a first class tour of Europe and all its scenic, historical and cultural offerings. Our goal is to enhance everyone’s game while exploring and learning about the history and culture of Europe. We offer Hockey, Soccer and Baseball Tours.
Our most popular trips are to Italy and Switzerland; two stunningly beautiful countries. Eurosportours customizes the tour to the specific needs of each coach, the skill level of the team and the size of the group. There is also an opportunity to customize the tour based on when you prefer to travel, how long of a trip you’d like to take, the number of games you’d like the team to play, specific sports related and non-sports related excursions you’d like the group to take and more.
We take pride in having created and cultivated the best sports tour of its kind. Bring the whole team to Europe, play hockey, soccer or baseball against the local teams, explore the European landscapes, take in the sites, learn the history – eat the food, mama Mia the food! – and absorb the European culture. Players and coaches tell us how their trip to Europe contributed to their development, increased their desire to elevate their game and how much fun they had!
