Sportivebreaks Reviews 

We attended the VIP hospitality finish for the Il Lombardia cycling Monument, and it fell completely short of what was advertised. The official website promised front-row seats and a dedicated screen to watch the live race progress as the riders approached the finish line. In reality, this was a deeply disappointing, non-VIP experience.
The issues began with the setup:
• Terrible visibility: The general public actually had a better view on the opposite side of the road. Their section featured a low barrier, while our VIP section had a 5.5-foot barrier that made it incredibly difficult to see over.
• No race tracking: There were absolutely no screens provided in our area to watch the race progress.
• Overcrowded and unsafe: We were herded into a cramped, oversaturated space. Because the visibility was so poor, other patrons began aggressively pushing to try and see over the high barrier.
• Ruined experience: My wife was jostled around by the crowd, saw absolutely nothing of the race, and completely missed the riders.
This package was highly expensive and failed to deliver on its basic promises. I am writing this review to warn anyone considering a VIP finish package with Sportive Breaks. Save your money—this experience is a massive disappointment and absolutely not worth the premium price.

So this is obviously for all the cyclists out there.

I have had the pleasure of using a number of cycle tour companies over the years and all have been very good – Ronan Pensec, ACT. These guys just raised the bar though... seriously raised the bar! I honestly can only praise the whole Team. I won’t mention anyone in particular as EVERYONE that I dealt with was fantastic!

I signed up with Sportive Breaks last year (2025) to enter the challenging Étape du Tour 2026. From the moment I engaged with SB, the experience was excellent. From booking hotels, to airport transfers, event entry, even a webinar the week before!
During our stay there was always someone on hand to support and resolve any issues.
But there were no issues 😀
On our way out the only flight that worked for me was a later one from Luton so would miss the bus transfers but Amy just sorted out a private transfer. Again, no bother. The flight was delayed, there was a storm we had to drive through so our arrival was in the early hours 01:30! No problem, all sorted at the hotel end with codes for out of hours doors provided and room key ready on arrival – reception was obviously closed.
Race Day - not one, not two, but THREE private feed stops. Not only that but they provided personal bags for the first 2 stops so you could put either extra kit or your own choice of nutrition. They obviously had their own nutrition options as well as they are partnered with SIS.
These guys had thought of everything!
The only thing they didn’t do was ride the event for me 🤣
I will be back!!
