Walk the complete 3.3 km Monaco Grand Prix circuit in about 2 hours 15 minutes with guides such as David and Tom.

“If you love F1, you have to do this tour! You get to walk all around the Monaco circuit while exploring the city itself, so it’s like a 2-in-1 experience, which makes it super fun. David was awesome and explained everything so well, from cool facts to behind the scenes stories. You get to see details you’d never notice on TV, and it honestly gives you a whole new way to see the Monaco GP! ps: you may be able to see some drivers during the walk, we got lucky and saw Alonso and Lawson.”

2.Formula One Circuit Guided Walking Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 451 reviews · 2.5 hours · from $64

Walk the entire Monaco Grand Prix circuit in 2.5 hours with English-speaking guides such as Tom and David. Hear stories about Senna, Fangio, Schumacher, crashes, racing tactics, and Monaco itself as you visit Casino Square, the Fairmont hairpin, the tunnel, harbor, and swimming pool complex. The pace is steady, the route is hilly, and the track needs some imagination between races.

“An excellent tour, high energy and very knowledgeable guide led us through the ins and outs of the race track and Monaco. A nice blend of racing information combined with facts about Monaco. Highly enjoyable!”

London: F1® DRIVE – The Official F1® Karting Experience

11.F1® DRIVE – The Official F1® Karting Experience

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 22 reviews · 1.5 hours · from $57

Drive F1 inspired karts around a 500-meter, 17-turn circuit at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. You get practice, qualifying, a race, instant lap times, F1 engine sounds, DRS, ERS, team radio, and a podium ceremony. English commentary comes from David Croft and Naomi Schiff. Adult Elite Sessions are for ages 14 and up.

“Go-karting is naturally fun, the price is ridiculously inflated thanks to the F1 logo. Staff was aggressively apathetic to their job, generally wandered around, and did not provide the full scope of what I paid for. Definitely not worth the money, even for an F1 fan. If you want to go go-karting I'd look to get the same experience sans label and Tottenham location for a way lower price.”
