EPIKDRIVES Luxury Driving Holidays & Supercar Tours

We were looking for a custom Alps driving trip tailored to our desires and Epikdrives fit that perfectly. Research showed many options that offer destination tours but were “follow the leader” type, one size fits all trips. I think that is fine for many casual drivers. Stephen offers the destinations, the 5 star hotels, and the choice of cars while giving you flexibility to go when and where you want. We found the ability to stop and experience with the only real schedule to be at the hotel that evening, liberating. Yes he provides daily GPS guided routes with options and times plus stopping points for site seeing. You can definitely stick to his GPS and detailed book schedule and have great fun. You can also go off book and stop or detour as you please. You are not tied to 10 other cars and couples. He also is an excellent tour guide during the trip, checking weather conditions, suggesting start times, routes or changes during the trip via text or phone. During our trip a street faire happened in front of our hotel which blocked parking, he contacted us on route, arranged for alternate parking, the hotel to pick us up, move the car later that evening and have it ready for us in the morning. We arrived and enjoyed the faire. Stephan’s “special sauce” is challenging roads and routes beyond the famous ones that everyone runs. The famous ones are on the menu for sure, but he also found some excellent drives and views for us that it seemed no one knew! If you are looking for an off the rack driving experience there are many options out there but if you are looking for a custom tailored vacation EpikDrives is the perfect fit.

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.

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.

Amazing trip and Stephan delivered the best vacation ever! Beautiful roads, excellent hotels and an awesome Porsche 911. We will definitely return and highly recommend Stephan and Epikdrives!

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.

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.

TAKE ALL MY MONEYWords can’t really do this justice but I’ll start by saying Stephan offers one of the greatest driving experiences with genuine value for anyone who loves and appreciates cars. Is it expensive? You bet. Worth it? Undoubtedly.We opted to do the Switzerland passes as well as a visit to Lake Como. Not sure what our expectations were going into it other than cool car, nice nature but wow did it blow everything out of the water. The passes in Switzerland were more than we could have expected (in the best way) with hairpin turns, mountain cliffs, windy roads and punch you in the gut natural beauty. The hotels were all top notch and the food great. The itinerary gave us options to do an extended exploration of each area or a short, more direct approach depending on your vibe that day. The whole experience was so surreal and seemed too good to be true (it was not — it was really that great). Without question this was one of the coolest, most enjoyable things I have ever done and is a MUST DO for anyone who loves driving.In addition to the car (Arctic Grey 911 GTS Cab) We were really impressed with Stephan from the jump. He has great energy and is incredibly detail oriented. He was very thorough in planning an itinerary that was printed out for us in a notebook with a carbon fiber looking cover (attention to detail like that wins bonus points in my book). He was very communicative and available to answer any and all questions (even calling me back within seconds after pocket dialing him the day after we returned home). He was great about addressing the mundane (hey we left our charger at the hotel what options are available) to the big picture (making recommendations on which path to take at what time). In addition to Stephan’s tips, the supplied GPS in the vehicle that he pre programmed was great in navigating everywhere we needed to go — low stress and very accurate, even beeping to let you know when you were exceeding the speed limit and providing a friendly reminder to check yourself.It was so hard to leave and I’m still suffering from APW (Acute Porsche Withdrawal) but am nursing back to health with a little perusing of the Cars & Curves 70 Years of Porsche book (not included in the tour) which has photos of various Porsche models in the same passes we drove.At this point I’m gushing, but I cannot recommend this tour strongly enough and am supremely confident we will return to do another tour within the next few years. Do not hesitate to book this. ASAP.

Epik Big 3 swiss alps drive was an awesome driving experience through the swiss passes. Beautiful scenic drive with well guided gps navigation. Stephan was always at hand to provide assistance and guidance. The porsche was in immaculate condition. Hotel and pick up transfer was also well thought out and timely. Would highly recommend to try out this experience.

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.

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!
