Formula Escapes Reviews 

Incredible race weekend in Budapest. They really looked after us, great hotels. Seats fantastic. And the staff were lovely.
Can't wait for a race next year with Formula escapes...

Firstly I’d just like to say although the issue we encountered was not directly formula escapes problem, the 3rd party company they use has made this problem. We booked a 5 day 4 night stay in a (4* star hotel as the advert) with tickets to a 3 day race weekend at the Belgium GP. Everything under one package for 5 of us at just over 7 thousand pound. Now first things first we had one of the best experiences ever while attending the race weekend. An unbelievable experience. Sadly there was a massive downside unbeknown to us and anyone at formula escapes. Everything started so well. A day and half travelling to Aachen Germany where we were staying. Our coach dropped us off at the hotel we thought and believed we were staying at, only to find out at check in that there was no rooms available under our names or formula escapes. Beds online the company formula escapes use to book rooms had double booked our rooms out and moved us to another hotel. Every email up till about 7 days before we travelled had us to check in at this 4star hotel. Even the reps on site had us down to book into this hotel. So after 2 hours of waiting around we found out we had no other choice but to head another 15 minutes down the road to a 3* B&B that we had supposedly been moved to. Now this wouldn’t have been much of an issue if this was the like for like 4* hotel as mentioned in the advertisement we booked under. But unfortunately it wasn’t. We had gone from a hotel that had a bar, restaurant, gymnasium etc etc to one that had none of the above let alone a kettle or iron in the tiny rooms we were crammed into. The reps that looked after us were very apologetic, and after a few beers that they brought us said after the trip
Was done they would reimburse the difference between hotel and B&B. Again we enjoyed every minute at the tack, but dreaded the hour long travel back to a B&B that had nothing to offer us. We had to
Literally get off the coach and stay out to eat and drink, not really ideal after a very long day of travelling to and from a race track. It would have been nice to get back freshen up and see what Germany had to offer, Roll forward 2 weeks after our trip and all we were refunded was £100 between 5 people, we find this an insult as we clearly brought and paid for a 4* hotel and ended up in a 3* B&B.
I suggest you do your research into any company that offer these types of packages as there are plenty out there.

This was my 4th trip with Formula Escapes and once again we were looked after 100%. This year we did a 5 night Hungarian GP which gave us pleanty of time to sightsee. Days at the GP were excellent and the seats we booked at turn 1 did not disappoint.

I was a little bit nervous about booking with a company that I knew very a little about, however I need not have worried. From the very first conversation I had with Rachel, who took me through my booking and tailored it to perfectly suit us, to the video call with Chris before we went and Sam’s brilliant hosting in resort, everything went incredibly smoothly. This company are extremely well organised and totally reliable. The WhatsApp group where we got continual communication throughout the weekend was fabulous, the transfers were seamless, the hotel was great, the city was beautiful and the race was fantastic. I will definitely be booking again with Formula Escapes… Just need to save up some money first!

From start to finish Formula Escapes have been brilliant. To giving advice on seats due to mobility issues, communication is excellent, organisation is spot on. All the staff are so friendly, hotel was great. We would highly recommend Formula Escapes and will definitely use them again. Thank you for a great weekend.

Amazing race weekend in Budapest. This company thinks of everything they booked our flights, hotels, race tickets and all transfers to and from the track also a fantastic river boat cruise. They really looked after us. Would highly recommend this company for an excellent racing weekend package.

I recently attended the Hungarian Grand Prix with Formula Escapes, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. As my first F1 race outside of the UK, I was a bit unsure of what to expect, but the entire weekend went so smoothly from start to finish.
The whole team at Formula Escapes were absolutely brilliant, warm, welcoming, and genuinely friendly throughout the entire trip. Their organization took all the stress out of the weekend, leaving us to just enjoy the racing and the incredible atmosphere.
I had an amazing time and will definitely be booking with them in the future. Highly recommended!

Formula 1 grand prix attendance made simple. A great team of people, efficient, friendly and knowledgeable. All pick-ups and transfers were perfect. The Up Hotel in Budapest is a great choice. The city is magnificent and well worth mooching around, or you could use the hop-on-hop-off buses if you prefer.
The Chicane grandstand that Formula Escapes got me tickets for was great, relatively easy to get to and a view over quite a lot of the circuit.

We recently attended the Belgian Grand Prix at the iconic Spa-Francorchamps circuit with Formula Escapes, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish.

A special mention must go to Nik and Sam, who were exceptional hosts throughout the weekend. They were always approachable, incredibly helpful, and went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly for guests. Their professionalism and friendly attitude made a real difference to our experience.

The organisation of the trip was excellent, allowing us to focus on enjoying one of the most iconic races on the Formula 1 calendar. Attending the Spa Grand Prix was truly unforgettable.

The only minor downside was that breakfast was cancelled after we moved hotels. While this was disappointing, it did not detract from the overall experience or the fantastic service provided by the Formula Escapes team.

Thank you to everyone involved for helping create such memorable memories. We would happily travel with Formula Escapes again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to other F1 fans.

Just returned from a back to back experience of Spa (Belgium)and Hungaroring (Budapest). Flights were we coordinated as were transfers to and from airport and daily to track. Hotels were decent albeit 1st hotel did not include breakfast but 2nd did, I was confused by variation. We were able to acquire breakfast at additional cost. Pre trip zoom meeting was appreciated, however, unable to attend the Hungary meeting as on flight from 1st GP to 2nd which was a big disappointment. As a sufferer of ASD overall the package was excellent, although last minute change of bus organisation on 1 day did cause slight distress, although the rationale was understandable. A special shout out to Alister and Leah who were excellent , attentive and are a credit to the Formula Escapes Crew. Overall looking forward to our next 3 excursions, and planning next year.

Formula Escapes took the stress out of everything, airport travel arrangements, transfers to and from the race track, race tickets and hotel bookings. Everything was well organised. We will certainly be using them again.

Great experience, the team looked after us, everything was easy. No stress.

The best F1 experience going. Didn’t have to worry about a thing.

If you’re on the fence, take the jump and thank the FE team later, you won’t regret it.

Just got back from Belgium 🇧🇪. Another excellent trip with Formula Escapes. Where we stayed in Aachen was really nice, lots of nice places for food and drink on the evenings. Highly recommend the Gold suite hospitality option they offer. Access to the F2,F3 and Porsche paddock so you can really get up close to the cars. We also upgraded to gold 3 grandstand on the Sunday where you get free food and drink throughout the day. Food and drink in this area was really good and lots of different options available including vegetarian options. Thank you so much to Rachel with the booking process and to Chris and his team Nik, Dan, Sam, Flo, Alistair, Leah and Aline out in Belgium. This is our 5 trip with Formula Escapes and we’ve just booked our 6th trip next year with them. Couldn’t ask for anything more from this company they really look after you.
Thanks again for the amazing memories

I had a fantastic weekend in Spa with Formula Escapes. From start to finish, everything was handled brilliantly.

Laura, who managed my booking, was incredibly helpful and always quick to respond to emails, making the whole process smooth and stress-free. Sam, who guided us for most of the trip, was excellent — really friendly and a genuinely great guy to have around. Chris was also fantastic, always getting back to me quickly whenever I had questions.

I honestly couldn’t fault the team. They clearly know what they’re doing and take great care of you throughout the entire weekend. I’ve looked at other companies, but these guys really stand out.

I’d 100% recommend Formula Escapes to anyone considering a trip like this.

Already looking forward to the Holland Formula One Grand Prix in August — well done, guys, and thanks again for another fantastic experience!

My husband and son had a great weekend at the spa in Belgium, unfortunately the hotel was changed and they was only told on arrival, there was no restaurant or facilities at the hotel to have breakfast or dinner, and in fact there was not many places to eat in Aachen mainly Kebab shops, this did spoil the weekend overall. It would have been nice to have been told by Formula Escapes this beforehand.

From the first chat at the FOS’25 to saying goodbye on Sunday after the Austrian GP, this was a seem less experience from start to finish. All the staff of FE we encounter were extremely professional and friendly. Nik, the guide for the 4 days was so knowledgeable and well organised it made the whole experience truly memorable. There are somethings that can’t be controlled like the weather and traffic, but Nik & driver Gabi endeavoured to make it as painless as possible. Great value - first class company and wouldn’t hesitate to book again.

No flight back to uk, still not sure if we will get back today, no emails from formula esxapes today to see how we are gettjng on, we know the cancellation of the flights is not your fault but i think the lack of information from you is terrible

The way the whole experience was organised.. can't fault any part of the weekend.. Will use again next year GM

This was our 4th experience of using Formula Escapes and everyone has been excellent,
Chris met us in Miami and he's such a great guy who looks after everyone and make recommendations to the whole group.
Formula escapes arranged all flights, all transfers and a cruise for us.
As always from 1st enquiry right the way though to getting home, the service from the Team is exemplary
