Hungary 2024 F1…

Just back from the Hungary 2024 F1 Grand Prix with this fabulous company, Chris and Rachel are lovely and nothing is too much trouble. They take care of you every step of the way and ensure that you have a wonderful time in every aspect of the holiday. We went to the Miami F1 Grand Prix with them last year which was also incredible and we are already looking at their 2025 calendar to book our next memorable F1 experience.

Amazing experience with very personal service from the FE Team

We have just returned from Spa with Chris, Rachel and the team and had an amazing time. The trip was smooth from start to finish, including all pre-arrival material (esp tickets) and then being part of the WhatsApp group for the trip. We knew who to look for at the airport thanks for the photos in the group chat. Rachel did a sterling job keeping everyone on track and so did Dan especially when the Belgian police didn't let us park the coach where we were supposed to.

The 3 days attending and leaving the track were flawless, each day there were pick up and drop off locations in the chat, photos of where the bus was etc so there was constant comms with any of the team and they were always around if we needed them.

I'd have no hesitation in recommending Formula Escapes for anyone who wants to attend a race weekend, they really do go the extra mile.

First Rate Trip

We have been on many touring holidays and i have to say this was the most organised trip we have had, without it being pushy or too hectic. Great communication from booking to the trip home. Chris in BCN was 1st rate. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend Formula Escapes to anyone considering a trip

Just back from SPA and had a great time

Just back from SPA and had a great time. Slight issue with a third party bus that broke down but could not fault the team and how they kept us informed during the trip. Only observation and learning for us was i wish we had asked more questions before booking. We had a poor experience with the airline (Eurowings) and the hotel so we wished now that we had a bit more control or choice when setting up prior to booking

First time with escapes

First time with escapes after other family had recommended.Went to Hungarian Grand Prix.Great experience from start to finish.Hotel was pretty good and good location.communications from team were very good informed every step of the way via WhatsApp.The only small gripe which is out of the teams control but it is obvious it must happen all the time the logistics out of the event.Be nice just to have heads up it will be slow to leave the coach park as this filters into cars leaving and one road through village.Overall fantastic experience and would highly recommend good value for money and well organised.

Have just returned from British GP.

Have just returned from British GP.
Very well organised and was kept up to date via WhatsApp.
We chose the trackside hospitality tickets with hotel stay & transfers.
From my first inquiry to the last coach ride back everything was smooth sailing and wouldn’t hesitate to book again through formula escapes, they certainly take out the hassle of doing it yourself.
Thank you all again

2024 Spanish GP

We attended our first overseas Grand Prix, and chose Formula Escapes, from start to finish this Company never ceased to amaze us with their organisation skills, attention to detail and fantastic client experience ethic. The whole weekend was brilliant, thank you Chris and Rachel for looking after us in resort, and all of the team who provide a fabulous product and service. We have already booked to go to another overseas GP with them.

Spanish GP June 2024

Last year we had our first trip with Formula Escapes, going to the Italian GP at Monza and we did not think it could be bettered. How wrong we were! We have just come back from the Spanish GP in Barcelona and our expectations were exceeded! Our hotel was first class in a central location. Our seats at the circuit were superb. Chris and Rachel looked after us exceptionally well and were extremely professional and organised, whilst being very friendly and welcoming to everyone in the party. The "meet and greet" evening is a great way to meet and make friends before the race days. It was nice to be remembered by our hosts from last year and we are already looking forward to another Formula Escapes experience next year.

Fantastic F1 Grand Prix Travel Company

Amazing Imola 2024 Formula One Race Experience - we definitely consider ourselves winners after our trip to the 2024 Imola Grand Prix with Formula Escapes. The seats they arranged were amazing, close to the start line and directly opposite the podium. Formula Escapes provided a professional, high quality experience from initial enquiry, configuring our package, and coordinating logistics. A big thank you to Neil and Sam for guiding us through the entire event and getting us safely to/from the track. We have booked our next trip to the 2024 Dutch Grand Prix with Formula Escapes and look forward to attending other F1 events in 2025.

Unfortunately in November I was diagnosed with Cancer and had to cancel for myself and my wife, however our friends still went and had a great time.
Chris was very understanding and gave me a refund which we were very appreciative of. Thanks to the Team

Booked Bahrain GP

Booked Bahrain GP. Outstanding service from formula escapes, regarding the flight delay caused by gulf air. Once in Bahrain, their attention to detail in making sure everyone git to thd circuit, and back again was excellent.

This is my 3rd trip with this company, and will definitely use them again.

Keep up the great work.

Excellent experience in Bahrain…

Excellent experience in Bahrain recently, the staff were helpful and friendly but not in your face if you know what I mean! We didn’t do all the days at the track as we were knackered after a delay with Gulf Air but could pick and choose what coaches to get to suit us. Hotel was okay, not a 5* like you’d get in this country but clean and tidy and in a good location to walk to the malls. Would recommend this company and we will no doubt book another F1 trip soon. Thanks Rachel Chris Dan and Neil, you’re delivering a great service. Good price too!

A memorable Bahrain experience

Just got back from a memorable Bahrain F1. From what started as a speculative enquiry on FB with Neil and ending in Bahrain with Chris, Rachel & Dan, the whole experience has been amazing. The whole trip was well organised and we were always kept updated with information. This was our first organised F1 trip, it certainly won’t be our last, thank you Formula Escapes for a fantastic experience.

Absolutely fantastic company

Absolutely fantastic company. we saw the advert on facebook & started messaging Neil (who was brilliant!). We were kept up to date throughout and the whole booking system was very efficient. We usually book our own holidays & this has now changed us! Having both Chris & Rachel in Bahrain with us was a god send, especially when our Gulf Air flight cancelled. I doubt they got much sleep that night as they were so busy trying to sort all the new arrangements out. (There was also someone called Dan at the event but we never saw him at all or were introduced so maybe he was working behind the scenes?). The small details and thought that went into this trip was outstanding, even the coach pick up times were staggered for the F1 when a number of us had barely slept. The hotel was great, excellent quality & we cannot fault it. The other reason we chose this trip over other companies was that we had two extra days after F1 to relax & explore the area. This was the BEST decision, if we had only got chance to visit the F1 without exploring a new country then it would not have left such a lasting memory with us. We will def be looking to book each year for a trip with Formula Escapes.

Wow! What a week.

Wow what a week! From the moment we spoke to Neil we knew we had made the best decision to book with Formula Escapes. We booked the Bahrain Grand Prix with personalised dates and departure airport and it could not have gone smoother. We had rep's on site to guide us through the race weekend and keep us up to date with all transfer details. The transfers were spot on, really well organised and very professional. We can't wait to book again. Thank you Formula Escapes Team.
