Customer Reviews
"I booked the Melbourne Cup trip through Racing Breaks and it blew my expectations out of the water. Right from the welcome dinner every moment was well planned and relaxed. Hotel was central, breakfast was great, and the hospitality on both Derby Day and Melbourne Cup Day put us right in the heart of the action at Flemington. The Call of the Card Luncheon was a fun insight and made race day even more exciting. An amazing way to experience one of the world’s best race weeks!"
"This Racing Breaks package did us was for all 4 days of the carnival. It was fantastic, excellent hospitality, plus time to see Melbourne itself. The river cruise transfer to Derby Day was a lovely touch, and the welcome drinks and exclusive luncheons were highlights. I also enjoyed wandering around the city and sampling coffee and cafes on my free days - perfect balance of racing and sightseeing. Would recommend for first‑timers!"
"Everything about this Melbourne Cup break was top‑notch. The itinerary from Racing Breaks included hospitality on two of the days, including the main one! Events like the Derby Eve Luncheon were great fun and not something we would have even considered if booking ourselves. The hotel was comfortable with great breakfasts each morning, and having staff on site throughout the week made the whole experience feel seamless. Cup Day itself was electrifying — the atmosphere, food and views were well worth it. Can’t recommend it enough!"
