Racingbreaks Arvostelua 1 706

Another great trip to the Arc. The information sent in advance was very helpful as it let us know about the RER train service to the hotel rather than the Metro which was so much better. As ever the team were exceptional, the whole break was so well organised. Already booked again for next year, a must do break

Very well organised event with like minded people. The lady who escorted us to the racecourse was so knowledgeable and friendly and told us all about the different places we passed on our journey

Racing Breaks made life easy in a city we had not visited before. Quality drivers for airport transfers, hotel choice, KIng's Court, with amazing service standards and so central to the historic part of the city for sightseeing. The race day was wonderful and made more so by racing breaks representatives travelling with us giving reassurance for pick up times and advice as what to expect at the racecourse. Definitely will return with this company.

Went to the Velka Pardubicka with Racingbreaks. Everything taken care of by Racingbreaks in a considered and professional manner. All transfers to and from airports, hotels and racecourse punctual and comfortable. Great hosting at the racecourse. Stumptown won. What's not to love?

My son and I went to the Arc for the first time this year, 2025. We enjoyed it enormously and were very impressed with Racing Breaks and the package they put together for us. I needed Assistance for Eurostar which was organised by Dave Arthur and it all worked smoothly. The return at the Gare du Nord was less easy as the station was a disorganised scrum but that was nothing to do with RB.
We have already booked for next year with a few minor changes. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Racing Breaks and look forward to using them again.

From the Eurostar to Paris, through to the hotel experience, then the races themselves, Racing Breaks provided an excellent service.

Couldn’t fault entire trip, train, hotel, drinks do, transfers and Prestige Hospitality all spot on. Can’t recommend highly enough to anyone thinking of going.

The team at Racing Breaks showed us, yet again, how professional they are, We travelled to Paris for the Qatar Prix De L'arc de Triomphe, an experience made even more enjoyable by the seamless organisation in all aspects of our trip, From Eurostar bookings, transfers, Amazing Hotel ( Four seasons George V ), fabulous race day hospitality at the Panorama restaurant, everything went like clockwork. An absolute pleasure to deal with .

Fantastic well organised weekend package to Paris for the horse racing
Thoroughly recommend for racing holidays

The organisation for the Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe weekend was very good. We needed some special transport to and from the racecourse and Racingbreaks staff sorted that. Every question we asked was answered promptly. They even gave us the contact details for taxi drivers to and from the course. We took advantage of the Auberge restaurant and the staff there were also very helpful regarding shuttle service in between.

Easy experience all round,clear instructions on how to get around, everything is taken care of so you basically just have to do nothing.plaesant staff,very helpful.if you like racing this international trip takes it to a whole new level,and experience everyone should do,

Irish Champion Festival

My first time with Racingbreaks and what an excellent weekend. It started off with a great chat with Ruby and then two fantastic days racing. The trip to the Irish National Stud was a trip down memory lane, seeing some of the old legends in retirement. I would certainly recommend and the whole weekend was extremely well organised.

Got a racing break voucher as a birthday present. Hadn’t ever used them before but will certainly be using again in the future. Booked for Doncaster racecourse. Hotel was the Hilton at the racecourse and room had view of the racecourse. We even had our tickets upgraded to premier which was a lovely surprise. All in all we had a fantastic break and would highly recommend.

Just home after a great weekend at the Irish champions weekend. Everything really well organised and Dave and Nicole were very helpful. Looking forward to doing another trip in future.

I can’t praise Racing Breaks enough for the amazing experience they gave me and my husband celebrating our 50th Wedding Anniversary at Ascot. From start to finish everything ran smooth and customer services (Dave Arthur) was fantastic throughout the whole experience making it so simple and easy for us, felt he went above and beyond, in saying that all the staff at Ascot couldn’t do enough for us. Beautiful hotel where we were well looked after and no issues with transfers at all. Will most certainly be doing this again. Thank you Racing Breaks!!! Highly recommend.

Just got back from my first ever visit to the Galway Festival and first time using Racingbreaks. The booking and payment process was very straightforward. The Racingbreaks team were accessible and prompt in responding to questions.

Race day tickets arrived on time and everything was well organised. I would happily use Racingbreaks again.

Just returned from a brilliant week at the Galway Summer Racing Festival. The trip was really well organised, with the Racing Breaks Rep on hand for any queries at our Hotel . Already planning for 2026.

From Steven Dollond:
Hotel Athena and all the Palio events I attended were very good and are recommended. But no thanks to RacingBreaks. Their customer service was an utter disgrace. They have no management looking after customers in their London office. It was almost impossible to get answers or even replies to FAQs. I told them they are running their business like a gipsy camp. Three times I received actual emails saying: sorry we are all out “at Cheltenham” then “in Dubai” and then “at Ascot”! I seriously searched the internet twice to check whether RacingBreaks had been reported as a “scam website”.

It was ironic that RacingBreaks had no representative on the ground for the Palio in Siena. They just contracted out, and substantially marked up, a package from an outfit called Palio Tours. The problem was that the non-Italian representative from Palio Tours was, to put it politely, not fit for the job. The orientation meeting was chaotic and questions were left unanswered. The itinerary, documentation and maps provided were amateurish, incomplete, not fit for purpose and the worst I have ever received from any tour manager anywhere.

All the above failures came for the princely sum of £2,594 for one person. So I am asking RacingBreaks to refund their mark-up on my booking.

NOTE: After I submitted this review, RacingBreaks recognised and apologised for my complaints and have sent me a partial refund. So I am satisfied with the outcome and have added one star.

racing breaks Provide good value with the ease of booking they are very helpful and ensure they provide for the race goers needs

The trip was well organised from the initial booking to leaving the hotel with updates and information provided all the way through. The hotel was in a good location and was of a very good standard with friendly helpful staff. Overall I felt the trip was very good value particularly with a couple of free drinks included and I would certainly do it again for Royal Ascot or another racing event.
