We’ve just come back from a brilliant six-day driving tour of the Black Forest with Drive Elite, run by Ellis Granea, and I honestly can’t recommend it highly enough.
I took my Porsche 911 C2S Cabriolet, and we were joined by eight other Porsches and 17 people in total. From the moment we set off, it was clear that Ellis had put a huge amount of thought into making the trip something special.
The driving was superb. Fantastic roads, beautiful scenery and some amazing routes through the Black Forest made for six days of driving that we really didn’t want to end. Ellis clearly knows the area incredibly well and has found some excellent roads and places that you just wouldn’t discover yourself.
But it wasn’t just about the driving. The organisation was excellent, the group was great fun and there was a really friendly atmosphere throughout the whole trip. Ellis, Tara and George were always on hand, without ever being intrusive, and made sure everything ran smoothly.
Driving a 911 C2S Cabriolet through the Black Forest, surrounded by eight other Porsches, was a pretty special experience in itself. Add in great company, stunning scenery and Ellis’s knowledge and enthusiasm, and it made for a truly memorable six days.
A huge thank you to Ellis for putting together such a fantastic tour and to all of our co-drivers who were such good fun to spend time with. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute and would definitely do another Drive Elite tour.
If you’re a Porsche enthusiast looking for a great driving holiday, I’d say go for it — you won’t be disappointed!
