Lunch prior to Windsor Races

We had a great lunch at The Hinds Head, Bray followed by a boat ride to Windsor and an excellent evening’s racing. The preparation ahead of the day was faultless ( thanks to Martin Wolfe at Imperial) as was our host on the day itself ( Suzanne). A great and memorable experience.

The product was oversold

The product was oversold. The charter flight was a low budget airline, the luxury transport was a delayed bus, the hotel in Cannes was a 25 min ride out of town. The train ride to the event required a train change. Flights were delayed by 3 hours each way which can be out of the organizers control but then they should jump in with refreshments during the delays. There was very little visibility of the support during the trip.
It felt like a low budget tour sold as a VIP Event.
No apologies for the delays in the airlines or the buses.
Would not be recommending them to friends or family

I had a great time at the Monaco GP. The staff from Imperial and Gulliver's had done a great job of the organising. They took good care of us during the entire trip.

Monaco Grand Prix with Imperial

I went on the Monaco Grand Prix trip with Imperial. Charter Flight was in a very cramped ex Ryanair plane - hardly room for one's knees. Staff were fine and friendly and transfers all good. Hotel was not even in the next big town to Monaco, but in Cannes. 50 minutes away by train. However it was a good hotel and right next to the station. Big issue is that for the price there was nothing else included apart from race tickets. No access to one of the Cannes Film festival screenings, or even a coach trip to Eze or St Paul De Vence on the free saturday. Did not feel VIP. At the race, no programme was provided, no drinks vouchers. just ordinary. However the seats were well placed - opposite the pits and in front of a giant screen. Given how much people had paid - from £2000 to 2500 each, it was not brilliant value

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts following your Monaco Grand Prix trip. We're pleased to hear that you found the hotel comfortable and well-located, that the transfers ran smoothly, and that our staff came across as friendly throughout. It's also great to know you enjoyed the view from your seats at the race, being opposite the pits and in front of a big screen certainly offers a prime perspective on the action.

We do, however, appreciate your feedback regarding the overall value of the package and the level of inclusions, particularly on the free Saturday and during the race day itself. Your comments about the flight comfort and lack of added VIP touches are also noted. We understand how important those details are, especially on such a high-profile occasion.

This feedback will be shared with the appropriate teams to review how we can improve the experience and ensure it better reflects expectations at every level. We’re grateful you’ve taken the time to provide such considered insight, and we’ll use it to help shape future improvements.

Over all it was a good experience;

Over all it was a good experience;

Two things to improve

1) The Grandstands were completely open with mo shade and it was very hot with direct sun...we didn't know this.

2) Our Diet was not catered for well even though we mentioned that 4 of us have dietary restrictions. Breakfast was extremely limited on all days....

It was supposed to be a corporate…

It was supposed to be a corporate experience and in that respect it was lacking. I would have expected to be guided more than it was. The reception was fine, but there was a lack of information / mis information. The train we went to catch on advice, did not stop at the station. The next one was fine. Once in Monaco we were on our own and there were several corporate groups all being guided. At the end there were no trains of any kind back to Mandelieu from cannes. We should have been advised of this. I'm afraid it was not a corporate experience. Hotel was nice, too far away, seats were OK, train tickets were OK going, but useless coming back. We had this at a discount, had we paid full price we would be fuming.

Never again.

Chartered aircraft went from LGW after being told it would be LHR, queues to a manual check in (2hrs before flight, like the old days, no online check in) were huge. Flight was very dated, on arrival in Nice, some pax took taxi to Cannes rather than jump on coach to hotel, we couldn’t depart until missing numbers verified, more delays and standing around, arriving by coach meant hotel check in was overloaded. “Drinks reception” was tokens for a few small beers. Hotel was beautiful, staff amazing! Race day travel was public train that was massively overcrowded and delayed, seats in stand were ok but zero hospitality at circuit. Return flight delayed, check in good, poor at passport control, carnage at boarding! Would not use again. Best bit was Saturday “day off”, went on a yacht in the harbour with the Green Room, would use them in future. This was a Gullivers Travels Sports event with a mark up.

Such a great night

Such a great night, fantastic entertainment from Eric Clapton (almost a given) but the hospitality provided was excellent. The food and drinks package did not disappoint. Many thanks to John Dart and the team at Imperial Events for organising an excellent evening.

Bryan Adams for the first time

Everything worked like clockwork from arriving at the 02 going to Gaucho restaurant where the meal was excellent and the staff very attentive, to getting into the arena finding our box getting seated over looking the stage, the staff in the box very attentive and helpful good selection of drinks getting out after the concert was hectic but it kept moving so not a real problem

Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons

The whole day was a wonderful experience, from the train journey on the British Pullman to Oxford, with breakfast and cocktails, to the beautiful lunchtime meal at Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons, and the return back to London. A beautiful and relaxing day, highly recommended!

British Pullman journey to Le Manoir

The entire day was planned perfectly and executed seamlessly. At every location on the day, there were always team members from Imperial there to take care of us and make sure everything ran smoothly. This excellent service complemented the luxurious treatment we received aboard the iconic British Pullman train and the exceptional and unforgettable lunch at Le Manoir. Highly recommend this experience for anyone looking to impress clients, win new ones or just treating yourself to a much deserved day off!

The panoramic restaurant

The panoramic restaurant was too crowded, we were squeezed in on a table of 12 and the food was not as good as the on5 restaurant that we had experienced a few times previously, not value for money and would not book this event again.
