Expedia Launches The Ronaldinho Route 10 Freestyle Bus Tour Of Paris

The Champions League final will take place on Saturday 28 May, with Liverpool and Real Madrid set to go head to head at the State de France in Paris, and now Expedia have partnered with the legend that is Ronaldinho for the Route 10 Freestyle Bus Tour Of Paris.

Honestly, can you think of any better way to see the city sights than on a 90-minute open top bus tour around central Paris, with Ronaldinho performing freestyle tricks along the way? If Carlsberg did open top bus tours… Well now, rather than Carlsberg it’s Expedia, the official travel partner of the UEFA Champions League, that are making this experience a reality, partnering with the Brazilian legend to launch an immersive 90-minute tour of Paris aboard an open-top bus, for football fans visiting the city for the UEFA Champions League Final, and this money-can’t-buy experience is now up for grabs alongside tickets to the final. 

Named the Route 10 Freestyle Tour after Ronaldinho’s famous shirt number and love of freestyle football, the tour has been tailor-made by the former Parisian-based player on the back of a study of 2,000 British football fans, about what they love to do when they travel to watch the beautiful game. The tour will let fans take in the views of the most famous monuments along the Seine, check out the Brazilian’s favourite shopping mecca, the Champs Elysée, stop at Ronaldinho's favourite Parisian neighbourhood for a culinary treat, and end with a drink at a hotel rooftop bar to take in the sights of the beautiful city. But what makes this tour so unique, is that the freestyle master will entertain the group with his best tricks along the way! 

Ronaldinho, 42, said: “During my career I have played in and visited many stunning cities, but Paris has a special place in my heart, it was my first European home. I am so excited to be partnering with Expedia for my Route 10 Freestyle Tour, so I can pass on my love and passion for the city and really make sure fans are making the most of their travels outside of the 90 minutes of football."

Four lucky winners and a friend each will enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime experience, along with bagging themselves coveted tickets to the UEFA Champions League Final at the Stade de France on 28 May. 

To enter the prize draw to win, head to @ExpediaUK on Instagram between 10 – 16 May, follow the page, go to the competition grid post and tag the friend you’d like to take with you to the final. Your friend must also follow @ExpediaUK.
