Bavaria, Lake Constance, Black Forest, Rhine Valley

Join Fast Lane Travel for this trip of a lifetime! Not only will you enjoy exclusive tours of the PORSCHE Factory and Museum, but you’ll also drive a new model PORSCHE through Bavaria, over scenic regional routes toward Lake Constance, the Black Forest, and the Rhine Valley, exploring the gorgeous lakes and landscapes of the region. On the way back to Stuttgart, you’ll drive on Germany’s no-speed-limit Autobahns. All accommodations, gourmet meals, gasoline, taxes, tips, parking and more are included. Sign up today for this fabulous PORSCHE tour!

This Fast Lane Travel tour starts and ends in Stuttgart. We always recommend that you arrive a day early, if possible, to have time to relax, adjust to the time change, and enjoy the area (ask about our Early Arrivals Program that includes hotel, dinner and breakfast). We recommend that you fly into Stuttgart (STR). If you fly into Frankfurt (FRA), the best way to get to Stuttgart is to take the train directly from the Arrivals Terminal 1 in FRA to the Stuttgarter Hauptbahnhof Station – it’s a little over an hour’s train ride. The Steigenberger Hotel Graf Zeppelin is directly across the street from the train station.

info icon

NOTE:  Airfare is not included (we have customers from all over America and other countries).  Your airport transfers in Stuttgart (STR) are included.

Cindy, our travel agency manager, will be happy to arrange your air, train and other travel.  She can also quote travel insurance to cover your trip.

info icon

NOTE:  If you have a pre-existing medical condition that might cause you to cancel your tour, insurance must be added within 14 days of initial trip deposit.  PLEASE call 813 475-5989 or email Cindy@fastlaneluxurytravel.com
