Escorted by Evan Roberts, Sportscaster at WFAN
Travel to the stunning capital of the United Kingdom for sports diplomacy in action, attending exciting “matches” between the Philadelphia Phillies and the New York Mets.

End your trip with a dinner cruise on the River Thames and take in the wonderful sights London has to offer as you wine and dine the night away. Extend your stay with visits to Oxford, Bath, or Edinburgh.
