    I agree that you'd be better off making your own arrangements. I think most Irish fans do. Have a look at Page and Moy
    for ideas, if you want tickets got to Just Tickets

    Britain, Spain, San Marino and Italy are all easy to do.
    Monaco can be a pain unless you're rich.
    Montreal is excellent, probably the easiest circuit to get in and out of, (metro)
    Going to a GP is a bit of effort and not cheap, but it's well worth it.

    Do it yourself. All the tracks I have been to so far sell tickets directly.

    Every place that has a GP has a gaggle of hotels with websites just waiting to take your money. And at least you get a choice of hotel and get to read the reviews first.

    The only time that could be different (what I am saying has no scientific evidence) would be if the tour operators booked all the local accommodation. Think Spa or Magney Cours.

    Best I did was a hostel beside the entrance to Albert Park. Sweet!

    Barring private charter, the flights are the same for everyone.

    Take control of your holiday and then you only have yourself to blame! :-)

    As Zeris says. Keep an eye on the track websites you might get a deal for booking early. I done it a few years ago going to Spain. 5 of us travelled we booked an apartment (everybody books hotels and apartments are ok if you are prepared to feed yourself) which worked out ok pricewise and location was not too bad about 10 min walk from the Ramblas district i.e. pubs and restrauants etc and 1 min from underground.

    Everything was booked in November i.e flights, apartment and weekend tickets for the following May
