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.

Great sporting event, well organized Everything about the trip went well. There was a late change of hotel, but this was personally explained to us in good time before departure. Local arrangements were well handled by Spectate's excellent representative, Emma Fountain, and the event fully lived up to expectations.

Australian F1 Victoria our travel consultant couldn't have done more for us with our trip to the Australian F1. She was so supportive helping complete necessary paperwork and guiding us through online ticketing. She responded very quickly to any questions and queries I had. Everything was well planned and organised. Everything on the itinerary went according to plan. The day trips were excellent with exceptional tour guides. All in all an amazing experience and Spectate and Victoria Owens helped to make this so. We wouldn't hesitate to book with Spectate again.

Irish Guineas week end What could be nicer than 4 days in Ireland, in the sunshine, visiting two major studs and The Guineas meeting at The Curragh🐎🐎? We stayed at the Horse and Jockey near Thurles then a couple of nights at the Kilashee Hotel 20 minutes or so from The Curragh both on dinner, bed and breakfast. Emma, the Spectate representative, met us at Dublin airport, looked after us and returned us back to the airport at the end of our trip. Busy few days, meeting new chums, all with similar interests, good atmosphere, another day might have been nice........ Coolmore and Kildangan studs🐎🐎 were such a treat, we met some fantastic stallions and one very special little foal. Thank you to both studs for making us so welcome and of course a visit to Ireland wouldn't be complete without a glass or two of the black stuff. 🍻Cheers, hope to see you all again soon.

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!
