007: Cruise Royale – 4 Nights

Steve and I experienced one of the best and most exciting trips of our lives. As you know, we did the James Bond 007 Tour in mid-June 2015 and I have nothing but great things to say about each of you personally and Ultimate Drives as a company. Steve had a fabulous time driving the Aston Martin; it was a lifetime dream fulfilled. The trips through the Alps were spectacular. You have done an amazing job preparing a wonderful route for sightseeing (and driving, of course). Thank you for the impeccable attention to detail that you provided. Every aspect of the trip was perfect. Great communication, willingness to help with arrangements and modifications, and a sincere desire to make this a special experience were evident.

Lake Luxury – Como and Beyond – 6 Nights

Superb hotels, beautiful scenery and an amazing car. It was a meticulously planned holiday and everything was top-notch so thank you for all your hard work on our behalf. The hotel in Como gave us a corner room so we had a view of the lake and the gardens and a great through breeze so we had both sets of windows open at all times. They also gave us a bottle of prosecco and some fruit and chocolates to celebrate our ruby wedding anniversary which is all thanks to you. You have been incredibly helpful, efficient and friendly at all times and we are most grateful. Also many thanks to Stephan and anyone else involved in setting up the trip. Now that it is no longer a secret, I shall certainly recommend your company to our friends and family in case any of them want an experience of a lifetime.

Black Forest Tour exceeded all expectations

Customer review of our BMW European vacation

The Black Forest Tour exceeded all expectations, offering an incredible experience from start to finish. Noah’s exceptional coordination and meticulous preparation, including addressing all pre-trip inquiries and organizing a comprehensive road book with detailed itineraries, set the stage for a stress-free holiday.

Having the hotels pre-arranged and a clear itinerary removed any planning burdens, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the journey. A special thanks goes to Mark for his dedication and tireless efforts in ensuring the trip ran seamlessly. His prompt responses to our questions and his ability to accommodate last-minute itinerary adjustments were invaluable.

For car enthusiasts seeking a well-organized and memorable experience, I wholeheartedly recommend booking with Ultimate Drives.

Overall, great experience

We thought the route, hotels and the car were fantastic (especially in sport mode!) Piz Gloria was in cloud when we arrived but we took a chance and went up anyway and we got lucky as the cloud cleared! Overall, great experience.

Porsche Grand Tour of the Alps – 7 Nights

Porsche Grand Tour of the Alps - 7 Nights Testimonials

I recently returned from my UltimateDrives.net tour, What a fabulous experience! This was my second tour with them and, as good as the first one was, this one was infinitely better. I started in Munich where my Porsche 911 (992) GTS Cabriolet was delivered – Metallic Silver over Black interior and roof. The car was spotless and drove amazingly – quick, comfortable and delivering an amazing audible backdrop. My trip included a visit to the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart via the autobahn where I safely and quickly reached 265kmph, which I believe is just under 165mph. At all times I felt in control of the car and carefully/methodically used my mirrors to pass cars and be passed (yes) by others.

The Porsche Museum is tremendous, I highly recommend it to anyone who appreciates cars, and particularly for Porsche-philes.

The tour also included scenic routes to Baden Baden, Zurich, St. Moritz, The Stelvio Pass, Kaunertal Glacier and Austrian Alps, returning to Munich after 8 -glorious days. Excellent weather too,  by the way.

A couple of outstanding features of www.ultimatedrives.net are the hotel selections and the customized Roadbook. The hotels are topnotch, stupendous and the special service/treatment tourers with UltimateDrives receive make a big difference. The Roadbook is brilliant and fully integrated with Android Auto (and Apple CarPlay)! It comes with 3 components; Daily Tour Description, Step-by-Step Itinerary (with POI highlighted) and AM and PM Drive Navigation Links.

A wonderful experience, well worth the money and creating unforgettable memories.

Thank you to both Noah and Mark.

Austrian Alps & Neuschwanstein - 5 Nights Testimonial

Tailor made Roadtrip (Swiss/Italia/Austria) My dad and I worked during months with Mark Heater in order to organize a memorable road trip to celebrate the end of my studies. What a fantastic adventure it’s been ! Mark managed to organize a big 7 days Tailor made roadtrip buckle through the Alps : We started in Zurich, then we drove to Andermatt, Come lake, St Moritz, Innsbruck, Lech and we finally gave the car back in Zurich on the last day. We rented the amazing AMG GTc in mat Grey with brown leather interior. The perfect car to realize this kind of trip : Very easy to drive in comfort mode, very aggressive and sporty in Sport + mode and a pure madness in Race mode. The sound, the spec and the efficiency of this convertible model just made us fall in love.  About the hotels during the trip, everything went very well and we discovered some of the most beautiful places to stay in Europe (Kronenhof hotel/Arlberg hotel/Interalpen hotel …). Mark stayed in contact with us all along our journey to make sure that we were enjoying our trip properly and gave us very interesting tips. An experience that I will never forget and that I recommend to every passionate!

Black Forest & Swiss Lakes - 4 Nights Testimonial

Black Forest, Alps & Lakes Tour – The drive we enjoyed most was the tour of Lake Maggiore and in particular the first part with the drive up and over Alpe di Neggie.The road was quiet and the views were spectacular. A most enjoyable varied days driving. Baden Baden is a most attractive town. We would like to return.The Brenners Park . The restaurant was superb and the chef came for a chat after our meal. Hotel Widder in Zürich; A score of 5 does not do justice to this amazing hotel! A superb experience.

French Riviera & Provence – 4 Nights

We had the time of our lives. Thanks again for setting it up. It was unbelievable, and I don’t think I’ll ever forget it for the rest of my days. We almost never turned on the radio, because the Ferrari sounds like an opera singer to us!

007: Cruise Royale – 4 Nights

We had a fantastic road trip in the Aston Martin Vanquish V8S, everything was perfect the car, the roads, the scenery and the hotels it was just a shame ultimate drives could not organise the weather too! The 007 itinerary combined some of the best passes in the alps with good sightseeing and is highly recommended. Many thanks to Stephan and ultimate drives for their great organisation and a trip that will live long on the memory.
