    Yesterday, we completed a six day driving tour prepared by EPIKDRIVES. This driving tour was the culmination of a six week trip to Europe. It was definitely one of the highlights of the entire trip. In the months leading up to our trip we communicated our wishes regarding hotels, the types of activities we wished to include, and what we wanted to see. Stephan fulfilled our every wish. We were equipped with a Porsche Boxster 718 GTS. While Stephan presides over an entire stable of exotic vehicles, the Porsche Boxster is extremely well fit for driving the Alpine passes of central Europe. He provides you with a pre-programmed GPS. The routing is absolutely impeccable. Only on the first day did we drive on a major highway. The rest of the tour was conducted on back and alpine roads. The scenery and the driving were both amazing. We drove through high mountain passes in Bavaria, Italy, Switzerland, and Germany, for which the Porsche was very well suited. In the final analysis, the real test of a tour organizer is how they support their clients on tour. Stephan was extremely responsive and in contact with us daily. On two occasions when we had issues he resolved them immediately. We would highly recommend EPIKDRIVES to anyone with a sense of adventure, an appreciation of majestic scenery, and a need for speed.

    Stephan of Epikdrives helped me arrange the first ever driving trip for my family. With several adult sons and a husband who all love driving, I need (a) two excellent cars (b) a way to travel as a family on our own rather than with a group of strangers (c) scenic destinations and (d) nice accomodations. We also had limited dates to work with in late May. Thankfully Stephan was able to make it happen and patiently answered my many questions. He also was able to adjust our accommodations to a golf resort when some rooms opened up there, and provided further assistance when we decided to have professional photographers tail us for the first two days. With the Garmin GPS route, we explored the Tyrol and Dolomites passes which was very breathtaking and made for some nice photos! The only disappointment (not related to Epikdrives) was that some of the restaurants I wanted to visit were closed for the shoulder season. The cars were first class and Stephan was available on WhatsApp through our journey to provide suggestions as needed. We stayed at the Dolomitengolf Resort which had very spacious rooms and a great pool, but surprisingly no air conditioning. In Munich, we enjoyed the food at Roomers and also discovered some authentic Vietnamese places not far away. I definitely liked the combination of great cars and independent road travel along tried and tested scenic routes which is what Epikdrives provided.

    Our experience with EPIK tours was exactly that … epic!! We did a 3 day package in an Audi R8 Spyder that took us from Germany via the high speed Autobahn into Austria and into the breathtaking Grossglockner High Alpine Road, and 52 bends of the Nockalm Road. The car was absolutely gorgeous and handled like a dream. The scenery and car are easy wins but what really makes the experience is the support and communication. Stephan helped decide on the best route and package based on our timing and driving expectations. We wanted some unrestricted autobahn time which we had in and out of Munich. He checked in with us daily - gave weather updates and responded quickly if we had any questions. If the weather accommodates opt for a convertible which makes it much easier to appreciate the mountains The hotels in Munich and Lienz chosen by Stephan where high-end and perfectly located to allow us easy access to local restaurants and sites. If we had any regrets it would be that we didn't have a longer package. This was a life-long desire of for mine and a must-have experience for any car guy(or gal) that loves exotic cars and epic scenery.

    Stephan is just fantastic!! He helped us with our dream: touring the majestic alps with our brand new Porsche. Since the very first moment he was very kind, arranged and amazing 15 day trip including: Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Lichtenstein and Czech Republic. The roads were beautiful!! Surrounded by the most spectacular mountains, and the hotels he picked up all amazing. I can’t wait to book again a trip with Stephan and Epikdrives! The experience was unforgettable.

    This was one of the best road trips we had ever done! Swiss roads are amazing but what made the difference is the service we got from Stephan. From the order process till we dropped the car everything was so organized. The whole trip was planned by the hour, every stop along the way, he made sure to send us to the best view points, best places to eat and to visit, he even made sure we will enjoy the best weather and adjusted the trip course accordingly. No doubt this was one of the many more road trips we will have together!

    Sublime experience. Did the Porsche Best of Alps Driving Holiday and it was 100% everything I hoped for. Awesome views, awesome roads and Stephan was a simply perfect guide to pull it all together. He routed us through some lesser known roads and passes that I likely never would have seen if I had attempted to route myself. The selection of stops was varied for all tastes to ensure the trip never got boring. Whenever we were hunting for some place to eat or determining what times to leave in the morning, Stephan was constantly in touch, keeping an eye on the weather and our relative position to offer suggestions and insight on how to best optimize our trip. Selected hotels for our stops were excellent. Had an excellent view every night from each hotel room and a nice placement to ensure we were not ensnared in downtown traffic in the morning. Stephan even made sure to prepare reservations and ticket for restaurants and tours he recommended prior to arrival. Overall, the most important feature of these tours is that they are planned around a single car. These are not group tours or destination tours. This is a driving tour where the roads and the car are the most important consideration. Continental breakfast is the only meal included. Lunch and dinner has suggestions, and the route for the day is detailed out from start time to end time for each day, but it is planned in such a way that as long as you end the day at the hotel specified, you can do whatever you want during the day. You aren't limited to a set pace of the slowest or least skilled driver like in a group tour and you aren't subsidizing the meals for the rest of the group when all you feel like eating for lunch is Schnitzel. Granted, this might seem scary to people who are less confident in their ability to navigate foreign and unfamiliar roads, but this is addressed. Stephan has a meeting with you on the first day to supply you with a route book and pre-configured GPS to guide you the whole way. To sum it all up, if you are looking for the ultimate driving experience through some of the best vistas, small towns, hotels and scenic locations the Alps has to offer, EPIKDRIVES absolutely has you covered. Can and will look to these guys for future tours in Europe.

    Amazing trip!!! Stephan organized and prepared everything for us including the car and hotels in Zurich and St Moritz. A limo took us from the airport to the hotel in Zurich where we met Stephan that provided us with detailed information about the car and the trip. The beautiful Porsche 911 Carrera 4 S convertible was waiting for us at the hotel. Stephan provided us with a GPS unit that took us on great and narrow country roads in the Swiss Alps. The road trip through all the mountain passes was breath taking. Many hairpin (180 degrees) turns on the road with great scenery and gorgeous views. We drove through the Swiss Alps passes and Stelvio pass in Italy. Highly recommended.

    For a big anniversary, my husband and I spent 2 weeks on an Epikdrives tour of the high passes of the Alps in a Porsche 911. Thank you, Stephan, for such an organized, beautiful trip! We are not young, but wanted an adventure. My husband loves to drive hard, and we laughed out loud all day, every day! It was so easy: Every morning we would just hit GO on the gps, and spend the day seeing sights, taking hikes and, of course, having screaming good fun on all the crazy high mountain passes we had seen on Top Gear. We especially loved Furka and Grimsel passes, the Großglocken, Lake Como, Grindelwald and of course, that hair raising Autobahn. At the end of every day of hairpins and motorcycle chasing, we would arrive at yet another fabulous hotel! We especially appreciated you being available by phone whenever we had a question. It’s seldom that a vacation lives up to your expectations - and this trip, Stephan, was beyond!

    From Stuttgart to Zurich, Zurich to Lake Como, and back to the start the long way round, the trip was fantastic. The scenery through the four Swiss Alpine passes was jaw-droppingly beautiful. We stopped many times just to admire the view (and the car, which was an absolute monster of a machine). It was very nice to have a car that was a little smaller like the BMW M2, since the narrow roads seemed less intimidating. Believe it or not that car has fantastic luggage space too. There’s still plenty of power; returning to Stuttgart on derestricted autobahn proved that thoroughly. The Porsche 911 cabriolet we drove was also very solid the entire trip. Even for coupe die hards (me), please consider driving through the Swiss alps on a sunny day with the roof down. One great aspect of the trip is that you can set the pre-planned navigation to reflect how much you wanted to do that day. On days we were tired we could skip stops; on days we wanted to see everything we could. This trip is a fantastic way to actively tour beautiful parts of the world. If you’re interested, I’m sure Stephan and his team can tailor something to the pace you are looking for. Don’t forget to slow down and enjoy the views. You’re in Switzerland and speeding costs and arm and a leg.

    From start to finish Stephan provided a fantastic experience for our 7 day Alps tour in an R8. I loved the attention to details in the itinerary, daily weather updates, everything was well planned. Most importantly, the car, the hotels, and the roads planned for our drive were absolutely fantastic. Will be coming back for another trip!

    We had a wonderful experience on the two day drive through Germany and Austria. The amenities (the hotel, and the car) exceeded our standards, and the service from Stephan was exceptional. The Grossglockner tour took us into Austria via several alpine roads, and smaller Austrian towns. The tour was beautiful, our only regret was not choosing a longer tour. 10/10

    My son and I took a Porsche GTS AWD, on to the Alps from Zurich all the way to Stelvio pass in Trentino region in Italy. We both are avid Porsche fans and have had the pleasure of owning few of them over the years. The 2023 Porsche performed flawlessly on every front and did not disappoint. The roads were magnificent and the sceneries were breath taking. The hotel arrangements and restaurants reservations or recommendations were superb. After all driving in Alps from Switzerland to Italy, what is not to like. The professionalism of our contacts were like Swiss watches, accurate and to the point. I am looking forward to another adventure in other regions of Europe with the same company

    Best trip ever!!! We did a 4 days Swiss Alps drive with Stephan and it was exactly what we had imagined. It’s a trip of a lifetime. We could not have done it without Stephan’s planning. He is a magic man! If you are looking to do an epic Alps drive, I would highly recommend Stephan. He is professional, knowledgeable, detailed oriented, extremely responsive and caring local, with great taste for cars and accommodations. You are in excellent hands. Working with Stephan is like having a personal tour guide, He is “with you” the entire trip whenever you need anything. It’s quite incredible. The magnificence of nature, the opulence of the hotels, the fun of turns in speed, the perfections of the planning and support from EpikDrive was even more than we could have imagined.

    The entire trip designed by Stephan was incredible. After my wife and I picked up our new 911 in Stuttgart, we met with Stephan and our trip of a lifetime began. Stephan planned a fourteen day five country tour through the alps and Black Forrest of Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Lichtenstein and the Dolomites of Italy. Not only were the passes amazing, but the drives leading to and from them were almost as exhilarating. The hotels Stephan chose were incredible, and some of the finest Europe has to offer. All of the routes and the sightseeing were expertly planned. Stephan's dining recommendations were spot on. But most importantly Stephan was with us every step of the way. If we hit a detour, road closure, or any other obstacle Stephan was there to remove it. We truly can't thank him enough. Let Stephan design a trip for you, and experience driving a supercar on the roads it was meant for. I promise you it will be an experience you will remember and want to re-live over and over again.

    This was the road trip I had been dreaming of, and, boy, did it deliver! My wife is not a petrol head like me, and she was amazed with everything we saw in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Italy. Stephan's role in this is undoubtedly responsible for the extraordinary experience. Trip planning is smooth before, giving you options and recommendations to make the most out of your journey. The GPS you get to drive you around is GOLD! Not only does it take you through the most amazing routes, with breathtaking scenes, but it takes you to the best stops for the best views and pictures, suggests coffee and snack stops at the perfect times and even gas stops before you head out! The key here is that you can focus un DRIVING and enjoying the ride! Stephan was also available almost in real time at any moment, and was proactively mindful of monitoring weather conditions so you could get the most out of the experience. I cannot stress enough how much my wife and I enjoyed this trip. Thanks Stephan and we will definitely be back!

    Where to begin?! When I discovered EpikDrives, I knew this would be the perfect surprise trip for my husband. Initially the packages and trip seemed “to good to be true” but Stephan was quick to respond to my 1,000 questions. We didn’t find many reviews which made me nervous but booked regardless and ARE WE GLAD WE DID! This turned out to be one of the best trips we have ever taken. Planning of the trip and booking was seamless. Stephan was so helpful and prompt with responses throughout the entire process from start to finish. Once we arrived in Switzerland, Stephan was waiting at the hotel with our supercar on arrival. We were impressed with the ease of everything! We would get into the car each morning and essentially hit “go” on the GPS. Easy GPS guidance to follow along with designated stops for sightseeing, coffee if needed, and re-fueling. We also enjoyed the binder that accompanied with printed out information of the itinerary for each day and description of the different sites or mountain passes. I would certainly give EpikDrives and Stephan a 10+ if I could and we will definitely be taking another trip with them in the near future. Thank you, Stephan, for such an incredible experience!

    What an incredible experience! The tour was perfectly planned by Stephan and the execution was flawless. From airport pickup, to accommodations, and, meals and rout plan, Stephan made all the necessary arrangements, tailored to our group's needs and dynamics. He was attentive and detail oriented, the level of service was superb. All to say that the we were able to focus on enjoying every minute of this fantastic experience, traveling through gorgeous Switzerland, taking in the views and having fun with these awesome cars! Driving the Stelvio in Italy was a whole other level of excitement. An unforgettable experience, I highly recommend it!

    Trust in Stephan we had the best time on our trip around Switzerland his recommended stops and hotels really were the best. Driving at our pace and the freedom it provides was perfect for us. We will be back.!!

    What an incredible experience! A road trip that is the proper way to see the Alps, from behind the wheel of a Porsche! Stephan had everything organised wonderfully, and the pre-loaded gps shows you the way. We had some fantastic weather so we could put the top down and take in the stunning vistas. There are lots of side trips and attractions to see and at the end of the day we would land up at a fantastic hotel. Highly recommend.

    Wow! The Alps Tour (Stelvio Pass) was shockingly gorgeous and fun at every stage. And the Merc AMG GT-R did not disappoint, on any of the roadways and passes. Stephan is super-friendly and available and professional. Between his excellent service, and hotel/route selection, and the beautiful (vertical!) Swiss countryside, it is hard to imagine a better trip.
