  • Indianapolis, Indy 500, May 2025

    Attending the 2025 Indy 500 was absolutely wonderful. We didn't have to worry about logistics and received excellent Turn One seats that had views which were like nothing I've experienced in the past at Indy. It was the first time for my son and his wife and I'm so fortunate to have had There And Back Again arranging it all. Thanks to everyone at TABA who really made our experience amazing.

    Their 2nd Trip with TABA
  • Indianapolis, Indy 500, May 2025

    This was our first time visit to the Indy 500 so we weren't sure all the logistics of getting to the race and preparation. TABA helped us with all the many questions we had before signing up.The package that we signed up fore was excellent and everything we expected. The TABA reps, Evan and Devan (TABA Tour Representatives) were awesome. The seats we bought were some of the best at the speedway (that was recommended by TABA)..Getting in and out of the race track each visit, especially Sunday morning was very efficient.

    Overall we found the experience excellent. It is always nervous booking a tour from half way around the world and hoping everything is booked, confirmed and ready to go as expected when you eventually arrive. We found everything in place and the experience great. We will have no hesitation in recommending or booking again and due to our experience will not use any other company except There and Back Again Tours. Well done folks.

  • Indianapolis, Indy 500, May 2018

    The hotel was an excellent choice, comfortable and conveniently located to other venues in Indianapolis. Overall, the staff was one of the best I have ever encountered. I did not meet anyone who did not treat me with kindness, and some really went out of their way. Rex, our TABA tour guide, and Tom, our driver, were the best: informative, courteous, and well organized. Rex always knew what he was doing and seemed to think of everything we needed before we realized it ourselves. He was informative about our plans and schedule and had a good sense of humor to boot. Rex and I chatted at breakfast one morning, and I heard him praise the restaurant staff to the manager. To me, that shows real humanity.

    I really appreciated the attention to detail. Josh, our tour guide had things like sunscreen and earplugs to help the unprepared. There were also unexpected extras such as a tote bag and post race garage passes. Travel to and from the track was completely stress free, I would definitely use TABA again.

    We truly appreciated the attention to detail and the constant communication providing look ahead direction on return times to the bus meeting locations. Rex (TABA tour rep) was a great host and kept everything running smoothly during all three very hectic days. At the Crowne Plaza hotel, we asked Amber the Night manager, to freeze several water bottles as "ice" for our race day cooler. Working with Doga the restaurant manager, she was able to fulfill our request. We greatly appreciated the effort they put forth to make our stay enjoyable.

    I didn’t believe this would happen but we ran the red traffic lights (police escort) and were at IMS before 0800 on race day. TABA tour rep Josh was very good allowing for it being his first Indy trip. He is a great advocate for TABA. Your provision of free “After race garage passes” was unexpected and true “customer delight” for me. The perfect finish to a truly memorable day. Thank you very much TABA, your praises will be sung loudly by me on this side of The Pond.

    We had a terrific first racing experience with There and Back Again. The staff were friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable. We really enjoyed all of the activities included in our package (meeting the drivers, museum, parade etc.) and of course the race itself was amazing. The location of the hotel was perfectly situated in the center of downtown Indianapolis, and provided easy walking access for dining and shopping. The hotel itself was also very nice. This was a bucket list trip, and There and Back Again made it a fantastic experience for us!!! Thank you, Thank you!

    Mark (TABA Tour Representative) was so great! He did not forget a thing! He even made sure we had suntan lotion and sunglasses! I really appreciated the sunscreen since I would have burned to a crisp and it would have spoiled my time there! Loved all the other extras we were not expecting like the nice bags, the lanyards, coozies, etc. Appreciated the call and message left by Mark the night before the race when we couldn't meet up with him to get the tickets. He was super. No detail escaped him. Highly satisfied.

    This was an amazing experience. Every aspect is so planned and executed by Shane, Rex, and Mark (TABA Tour Representatives). Everything was planned and delivered to us. It was worth the money. We had a great time at the hotel. It was absolutely amazing. Smiley (Bus Driver) was fantastic and really a nice person. The bus was always very clean. Rex and Mark were great with all the instructions, guidance, patience and both have great personalities. We loved all the coordination and understood why the times were early to get up and go to the different events. We enjoyed this experience so much. As I said previously, Jordan from the Crowne Plaza Hotel, and also Rex and Mark who were outstanding and extremely user friendly. Also my wife surprised me with this trip for our 50th Anniversary and Shane was extremely helpful and explained everything very thoroughly.

    We thought that the set up for the tours were very well done. We enjoyed the Hotel staff and their friendly nature. Staying in one of the train cars was a nice experience. We thought the driver and our guide Rex (TABA Tour Representative) did a superb job. My friend had some health issues during the parade and Rex did a fantastic job getting him care and making sure we got back to the hotel. A+++ for Rex. We thought the tour was excellent and this being our first time, we were glad we chose a tour option. I think Rex did a superb job in informing and keeping everything moving throughout the weekend. Rex is a fantastic asset to have.

  • Indianapolis, INDY 500, May 2017

    Read through all the info online so knew exactly what to expect when we got there. Everything went off like clockwork. Great organization leaving nothing to chance. Bus was right on time, and a big beautiful bus. Very comfortable. The tour rep even somehow magically made the storms hold off until we got back to the hotel from the race. Weather was forecast to be severe storms all day race day. He assured us it will not rain and it didn't until we were on bus. Not sure how he did it but gets my vote for weatherman. Having only been to the time trials at Indianapolis many years ago, I wasn't sure what to expect and didn't really want to fight the crowds and find parking and such without knowing what was in store. TABA took care of every detail and made it a stress free experience. Even the breakfasts in the morning and the welcome back at the hotel with beer and chicken wings was a nice surprise. Excellent program. Nothing like getting a police escort past all the traffic and parking right across the street from the speedway. It was perfect.

    All were great, would have been nice to have a little more time at the Dallara Museum. Our hotel was very close to many restaurants within walking distance. The Police escort to the track on race day was amazing, hotel to the track in 15 minutes. The TABA tour guides along with the Bus Driver Smokie were fantastic, it was a great first experience with your company. Everything ran smoothly and overall was a very enjoyable event.

Parking was great, close enough to the track and easy to find. I was surprised how fast we were able to get back to the hotel after the race! Had my first experience at Phoenix in November of '15 and was very impressed. Went to the Las Vegas race in March of '16 and was not disappointed at all. Mark (TABA Tour Rep) said this was the first time that the Indy 500 was offered so I'm positive TABA will take an already great experience and make it even better!

Very patient, knows the answers and was a terrific tour guide. Appreciated the sunscreen getting off the bus and water on the bus on return (gasp). Overall had a fabulous weekend. Indulged in a fantasy Indianapolis 500 trip and couldn't be more pleased. Next trip would love to be able to pick which adventures to go on. Ala carte perhaps! Carb day was incredible.

Our TABA tour guide Mark was also very nice, and reminded us all to make sure we had our tickets before we left the hotel and then they had a set up at the hotel with sunscreen, water and ear plugs. Plus we receive a tote bag with ear plugs and sun screen.

One of the original events produced by the 500 Festival, the IPL 500 Festival Parade has grown to be one of the signature events held in the United States each year. The Parade is the only 500 Festival event that has taken place every year since the organization’s founding in 1957. The IPL 500 Festival Parade will be held on the eve of the Indianapolis 500. 300,000 spectators are expected to line the streets of Indianapolis, joined by another one million watching from their televisions around the country, to view one of the nation’s premier parades, alongside the Pasadena Tournament of Roses and the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

The IPL 500 Festival Parade allows all spectators to witness the pageantry and larger-than-life floats light up the streets of downtown Indianapolis. Well-known celebrities, costumed characters, marching bands, patriotic units, specialty units, spectacular floats and giant helium balloons will fill the streets to celebrate the world’s largest single-day sporting event, the Indianapolis 500.

The tradition continues with the 33 starting drivers of the Indianapolis 500 serving as honorary grand marshals the day before the race, riding in the traditional rows of three, with the winner of the pole position bringing up the rear.

****This is a reserved outdoor tickets to the Indy 500 parade. This option does not include transportation to the downtown parade area.  Airport location hotels will have to get their own transporation to the downtown area.***
