Whether it’s a bucket-list journey through the Swiss Alps or an indulgent taste of Tuscany, we welcome hundreds of guests on our luxury tours each year. So who better to share stories about the enriching destinations, delightful dining and preemptive luxury than the people who’ve experienced it firsthand?
Read on to explore a curated collection of moments from our signature European tours, as told by our guests – capturing the magic of unforgettable adventures through the continent, from the snowy Swiss Alps to the sun-drenched French Riviera.
“Every time we turned around, it was another amazingly beautiful setting.”
Driving an entire fleet of latest-release supercars might be a draw card for guests on our supercar tours, but the choice of destination remains a top priority when selecting their next luxury holiday. That’s why each journey unfolds among mesmerising scenery and soul-stirring locations across Europe’s most gorgeous landscapes – Italy, France, Germany, Switzerland and beyond.
The Swiss Alps are always a showstopping bucket-list destination, as guest Mark, travelling with his partner Leticia, explained. “Seeing the Alps and then stepping into it, I kept turning around and saying ‘Oh my God, oh my God…’. Every time we turned around, it was another amazingly beautiful setting.”
In the south of France, Sally was blown away by the magnificent panoramic views she encountered on our five-star Provence driving tour. The French Riviera left a lasting impression, with Sally describing the scenery as “spectacular” – particularly the experience of “driving supercars through breathtaking mountain roads and the coastal roads of Cote d’Azur”.
Of course, a highlight of our annual tour calendar is the iconic Monaco Grand Prix. As tens of thousands of motorsport fans descend on Monaco during race week, the tiny city-state is abuzz with activity – and we position ourselves in the heart of the excitement, mooring a privately chartered superyacht in Port Hercule. With premium hospitality and world-class entertainment, it’s always a memorable weekend. The roar of Formula 1 meets the elegance of the Riviera in a dazzling fusion of speed, style, luxury and spectacle. As our guest Jeff put it, “On a superyacht in the harbour for three days, with all you can eat and drink, and proper magnums of champagne… best party ever!”

“We had a fabulous group of people, magnificent cars, mouth-watering food … It was brilliant in every aspect.”
While luxury driving holidays offer the opportunity to experience the world’s finest supercars, the journey is just as extraordinary off the road. “My partner was surprised at how much she enjoyed the cars and the driving, even though she isn’t a car person,” said Leigh, who joined us on our Swiss Supercar tour. “Along with the stunning scenery and luxurious accommodation, she described it as an incredible experience.”
This universal enjoyment stems from our attention to detail. While we curate a glorious driving route based on decades of experience, we put as much time into selecting opulent hotels, world-class restaurants and exclusive excursions. Guests enjoy carefully-woven moments of seamless luxury from gastronomic experiences, from Michelin-starred excellence to rustic bouchons and friendly trattorias. Every experience is chosen to suit the mood and complement the day.
Our guest Eva perfectly encapsulated her gourmet experience on our Chateaux and Champagne tour. “A money-cannot-buy experience we loved was an al fresco lunch in the gardens of a family chateau located in the Beaujolais region. Here we enjoyed local charcuterie perfectly paired with gamay, lovingly introduced to us by the owner of this chateau.”
Another guest, Jenny, told us how the friendships she formed on tour were the icing on the cake. “We were lucky to meet and share this fabulous experience with wonderful, like-minded people.”
Brett, who joined us for our Italian Supercar tour, summed up his journey: “Everything was so well planned and the attention to detail was impeccable,” he said. “We had a fabulous group of people, magnificent cars, mouth-watering food, postcard landscapes around every corner, exquisite hotels. It was brilliant in every aspect.”

“The whole package exceeded first class, and for me it was incredible value for money.”
Preemptive luxury underpins our tours – and for our guests, there’s nothing quite like having high expectations not just met, but exceeded.
As Ian, who joined us on our new Alpine Royale tour, wrote: “[The UDT team] have done their homework very well and I doubt very much if there ever comes a situation that they can’t handle. The whole package exceeded first class, and for me it was incredible value for money.”
His sentiments were echoed by Lauren, who joined us for eleven days on our signature luxury driving tour of Europe. “The team seem to anticipate your needs before you do, whether that’s offering sunscreen and a hat as you head into a convertible, or magically finding a drink appearing in front of you,” she said.
“Nothing was a problem and on the odd occasion they hadn’t accounted for everything – like when I managed to get my handbag stuck under a seat – they just took the whole seat out of the car in order to get it out.”
From understanding your specific needs and desires to handling unexpected moments with ease, we’re here to make sure your only task is to enjoy every moment. As our guest Edward put it: “It’s not often that someone can far exceed your expectations, but the team at Ultimate Driving Tours did just that.”
While every one of our luxury driving tours reflects this commitment, our bespoke tailor-made holidays take such extraordinary experiences even further, with a custom journey crafted entirely around you.

“We kept saying, ‘This is probably going to be a once-in-a-lifetime thing.’ Well, it’s probably going to be more than once in a lifetime.”
“Once-in-a-lifetime” is a phrase we often hear from our guests, at least before they join one of our luxury tours. Because after you’ve experienced the extraordinary, it’s hard to limit yourself to just once.
It’s not unusual to welcome our guests again and again… and again. Our guest Jeff, wrote, “I’ve done four tours with UDT and just when you think it can’t get any better, somehow they manage to keep outdoing themselves.”
Then, as Dean travelling with partner Ana explained, “We kept saying, ‘This is probably going to be a once-in-a-lifetime thing… Well, it’s probably going to be more than once in a lifetime.”
It’s a common theme. As Bill, travelling with his partner Kristy, said. “We are already talking about what tour we are doing next – and hopefully with the people we met on this one.”

To conclude, we’ll leave you with the words of our guest, Ian. “If you are thinking of joining a UDT tour, just get it done. You won’t regret it – 20 out of 10 on the awesomeness scale, worth every penny and more.”
We couldn’t have put it better ourselves.
