To celebrate a big anniversary, my husband and I launched out on our own for an Epikdrives vacation for 2 weeks in a 911 Porsche. Stephan of Epikdrives handled every detail beautifully - car delivery, hotel reservations, COVID government forms, gps directions, etc. It was a dream vacation, with incredible sights through the Alps to Lake Como and back, having a screaming good fun time on allll of those crazy mountain pass switchback roads we have all seen on Top Gear. We ain’t young, but thanks to Stephan’s organizational skills, we hit 5 countries and innumerable 5 star hotels without any anxiety! Every morning, we just hit GO on the GPS, drove hard, saw sights and did hikes, and arrived at another fabulous hotel by 6 pm. If we ever had questions, Stephan was always available by cell phone for guidance. If you aren’t a tour-group kind of person - we are not - and want to just head out on your own adventure in a go-fast car, you MUST try an Epiktrips vacation! Thank you, Stephan, for a dream adventure!
