Racingbreaks Reviews 1.707

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.

Very well organised and well looked after, booked a few times now because of the excellent service received

Excellent package, all the hard work of bookings etc taken away! Simple process, turn up and enjoy! I have already booked my next race day!

Brilliant company, great customer service which is rare these days. Really helpful with upgrading tickets after I made a mistake when booking.
Had a package deal for the Saturday at ascot with a hotel stay. Good value with everything included.
Will be booking with them again for next year.
The only improvement would be if they could tell me the winners in advance next year!!

It is with regret that I find myself writing this review

We have used Racing Breaks previously and had absolutely no complaint with great service throughout

On our trip to Ascot this year the hotel service was very good

However our visit to Royal ascot ladies day was not without extreme frustration

In your correspondence you asked for us to be ready 10mins prior to departure time, we along with a large number of other race goers were outside at 9.50am

Coaches were waiting yet check in was delayed and we eventually left at 10.20am

Unfortunately neither the driver or your representative knew the way and were in regular contact with someone throughout the journey taking directions.
This led to the coach going the wrong way, needing to turn around and delaying our arrival as well as leaving us stressed as to when we would arrive.

We eventually arrived at car pk 10 at 11.45am, 1hr 25mins after leaving and1hr 55mins after your request to be ready to leave, I do not remember reading anywhere that travel time was 1hr 30mins?
All in extreme heat, albeit the coach had air conditioning.

In your itinerary you had important information
Ascot's coach park is a short walk from the entrance
The walk is 20mins for us a mobile couple with no ailments or conditions, in our opinion this is not a short walk!

The last time we visited ascot with you it was indeed a short walk and we fully expected the same.
It seems as though Racing Breaks used a car park further away.

The coach home, honestly awful
On this occasion the driver took us for a tour of the M3 in both directions
Sign posts to Farnborough were ignored and the Satnav that was used was not followed

A few passengers were unhappy and the driver was rather rude even though it was the drivers fault!

It seemed that one passenger was travel sick probably due to the extended travel time and your representative was dealing with that at the time of the drivers rudeness

We eventually got back to the hotel at 8.50pm after leaving ascot at 7.20pm

Ascot is a wonderful place unfortunately on this occasion we feel that Racing Breaks let us down and completely took the gloss off what should of been an amazing experience

This was a gift for my 60th Birthday and I could not fault the experience. Well organised from start to finish would highly recommend

Excellent service when we had to cancel 2 of our group due to illness but then found nearer the date they were well enough to go. Dave managed to rebook the hotel bedroom and Ascot tickets. Reading Hilton was amazing and transport to
Ascot was well planned.

Great time well organised trip to Royal Ascot food superb accommodation very clean and tidy beautiful Windsor hotel

On the whole, a great, well organised and easy experience. Hotel booking was correct and race tickets arrived on time. Only downside was the first bus didn't turn up but a replacement bus was sourced within 45mins and we were looked after and kept informed at the hotel, so actually didn't affect our raceday much at all.

This is my second trip booked through racing breaks and I will definitely be rebooking again.

On arrival I was greeted by professional friendly staff who knew my complete requirements

Fabulous experience - brilliant organisation and planning and we had a fabulous time. Very easily contactable and I felt everything ran brilliantly! Thankyou!

Good morning beautiful

It was fantastic , the food at the Parade Ring Restaurant at York was amazing and the service was excellent.
The hotel was really good as well, accommodation was excellent especially as we had complimentary snacks as well as gin and beer. Breakfast was also really good.

Our third trip with Racing Breaks, a big thank you to the team, Aaron, Ed, Dave, Will, Rob and Nicola again everything so well organised, from the choice of Hotels, all the transfers, the extra experiences available. The Dubai Racing World Cup was a very fitting end to our amazing trip to Cambodia and Vietnam arranged with their sister company Out of Office. Can't wait to start planning our next trip.

Just returned from the trip of a lifetime to the Dubai World Cup 2025. First time using Racing Breaks and would not hesitate to use them again.
Efficient and Friendly service from Tom throughout, every detail taken care of, thoroughly enjoyable Yacht Cruise and the Racing Preview Night at the Ritz Carlton, Stayed at the Hilton Jumeirah who was also a great choice. Thanks for a fabulous experience both when booking and attending our racing experience. Professional throughout.

Had the holiday experience of a lifetime! First time in Dubai was amazing seeing the wondrous sights as well as staying in The JW Marriott hotel with a sea view room on the 32nd floor. The yacht cruise was so enjoyable with the team making me feel so welcome and catered for. The night sights on the return into Dubai Harbour were amazing. The Dubai World Cup will hopefully become an annual trip ! The closing ceremony was something to behold. I felt blessed being able to enjoy such a holiday.

This was our second trip to the Dubai World Cup with Racing Breaks, we enjoyed it so much in 2024 that we took two other couples with us this year and they were blown away by the whole event!
All the Racing Breaks team are friendly and approachable and every part of the package went without a hitch.
If you are thinking of doing any racing trips in the future I would recommend Racing Breaks without hesitation! Mary, Julie, Teresa, Karl. Darren & Simon

The service of the staff nothing was too much trouble.
Excellent value for money.
We were treated like royalty . Can’t recommend enough . Can’t wait to booked a trip for 2026 , we have told all our friends about your fabulous company.
Thank you racing breaks for a wonderful Dubai World Cup

A great trip to the Dubai World Cup! It was a brilliant week in the Sun and a fantastic experience at Meydan.
Ed ensured that our transfers throughout the trip were seamless and he even gave us a winner! Many thanks to the whole Racing Breaks team! I’ll be back for 2026.

The team were visible, happy to help, and organised everything, in particular the transfers etc from airport and events. I would certainly use Racing breaks again and would recommend Racing Breaks to anyone wanting a unique racing experience!
