Fun in the sun at Santa Anita Our trip to the Breeders Cup 2023 was made hassle free by Spectate. We had to switch hotels at late notice, but they found a suitable alternative for our tour party, which was no easy task just a few days before the event. Emma was a charming and helpful host. Some trips are simply easier to arrange through a competent agent and this was one of them. All in all, it lived up to the high standards we have previously experienced with Spectate.

Top-quality and imaginative tour management Top-quality ground agents, and an experienced UK tour director, are essential to success. Spectate had both these. The idea of visitng the Dalai Lama for a private audience, months in the planning, was inspired. The only downside was the England cricket team's terrible performance in the Test at Dharamshala!

Abu Dhabi Grand Prix Went to Abu Dhabi Grand Prix and got main grand stand tickets with hospitality .. The seats were brilliant right opposite the Mercedes pits and podium. Spectate organised a talk by Damian Hill which was good Simon organised extra activities whilst were were in Abu Dhabi after the Grand Prix which were excellent. Only downside no spectate merchandise given out ie lanyards and ear plugs which have been given out when we used other travel companies Definitely book with them again tho

As with many others it was very… As with many others it was very disappointing to have our holiday cancelled, especially as it was on our bucket list and to celebrate a 70th birthday. However, the staff and management at Spectate kept us fully informed right through the process of claiming a refund, even to the point of phoning. The whole experience confirmed to us that we had made the right move in booking with them. We will certainly be looking to book again with them when we can.

Recommend Spectate as first class! Can't fault Spectate for all they did to organise everything: very efficient, helpful, thoughtful & with fantastic attention to detail. We wouldn't use the Colony Club Hotel again (although it has the potential to be fabulous!) as it really does need a facelift, but our room was comfortable & spacious. Breakfast good, dinner awful!
