We recently completed a bespoke European driving tour organised by Mike at Making Tracks, and it exceeded every expectation. The route through France, Switzerland and Germany was expertly planned, taking us along some of the most incredible driving roads we've ever experienced. Every day brought breathtaking scenery, spectacular mountain passes, picturesque towns, and outstanding hotels that were perfectly chosen. The attention to detail was second to none, and it was clear that Mike had put a huge amount of thought into creating an unforgettable driving adventure. From the stunning views to the fantastic roads, everything was seamless and made for an unbelievable experience. If you're looking for a tailor-made European road trip, I can't recommend Mike at Making Tracks highly enough. His knowledge, planning and passion for creating memorable driving tours are exceptional. We'll definitely be booking another tour in the future!

If you love Top gear you will love this Wow wow wow if you love the ethos of Top gear you will love this company. If you get lost or dropped for not driving over speed limits you will get left behind… classic top gear style. The routes are great and take in some incredible roads, the map books are informative and the hotels we stayed at were exceptional. Mike is a nice welcoming person, just do not dare to give feedback on the company, trip or his driving (don’t get me started on the out dated tomtom satnavs supplied) marco on the other hand is arrogance personified. Despite what it says in the first page of the tour book, no one will be in the middle or the rear of the pack, to help or guide those not willing to drive at 10/10ths, his sole purpose in the company is to be a parking attendant and drink G and T. Don’t forget you are paying him for the parking service. Would I book with them again? Never!!!!! In Mikes words “ fine “
Date of experience: 30 June, 2026

Hi Brendon, many thanks for your review. I’m really glad that you enjoyed most aspects of your tour (routes, maps, books, hotels). Although I cannot relate to much of what you’ve written (and our various other reviews from the same and other trips paint a different picture), I am sorry that our various attempts to work with you to resolve your concerns weren’t sufficient to allow you to enjoy the rest of your trip with us. Wishing you both the very best.

Unforgettable Dolomites adventure! Just returned from an incredible Dolomites road trip with Marco and Mike. The entire holiday was fantastic—from the lovely hotels to the amazing people we met along the way. Everything was so well-organized, and the experience exceeded all expectations. I’d highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for a memorable adventure. Already planning to do another one!

We had a fantastic trip on the recent Dolomites Tour, well organised, great hotels, amazing scenery and a super group of people to enjoy the trip with.

We recently went on the Dolomites road trip with Making Tracks - Ultimate Road Trips. This was our 10th escorted driving holiday, but the first with Making Tracks. Throughout the trip, the organisation was excellent, with Mike and Marco working together seemlessly to ensure all aspects of the trip went to plan. Mike led each drive out at a good pace, with constant flow of information through the radios, whilst Marco often went ahead to secure parking on the route, plus welcoming us in a similar way to each hotel. All the hotels were of a good standard and the route in general took us on some fantastic driving roads. Despite the pressure of leading a relatively large group of cars, Mike was always polite, friendly and helpful on the road. We have already booked a trip with Making Tracks next year and we are really looking forward to it, and also seeing what they come up with for 2028. We would highly recommend Making Tracks - Ultimate Road Trips from the experience we received during this trip.

If you like the twisty roads then the Alsace tour is for you. A 4 night stay in one hotel with some great organised routes. A very informative handbook supplied.

Just completed a Dolomites road trip with Mike and Marco, our first organised tour, staying in excellent hotels and enjoying great company with them and our fellow drivers and passengers. The scenery was amazing and driving the alpine passes was stunning. The trip was well organised and ran smoothly. An excellent ten days and now looking forward to the next adventure.

Thank you Ian for letting us know how much you enjoyed your road trip with us. It was amazing to spend the 10 days with you both, showing you and Amanda our favourite places in the Dolomites! Look forward to seeing you again soon.

Not my first trip with Making Tracks, although the first in Europe. Was solo on this one and have to say from sorting the Eurotunnel both ways and keeping us updated l could not find fault. Then the routes, hotels and everything else including the toboggan’s etc was fabulous.

I have used Tour Companies before but none match the attention to detail and thoroughness that Mike from Making Tracks brings to your Holiday. Communication has been first class, pre, during and even after the Tour. Each Hotel was a carefully chosen to accommodate us nicely along with meticulously well chosen scenic roads perfect for that fine balance of enjoyable driving and stunning views, This driving tour exceeded my expectations and I can’t imagine using another Company. Just Superb.

The Northern Road Trip was my first experience of a Making Tracks trip and it was thoroughly enjoyable. As a passenger across the 4 days I found the trip just as exciting as those who were driving. The radios ensured all cars, passengers & drivers could stay in contact and as a passenger I could view the beautiful scenery as well as the roads. The trip was incredibly well organised with every detail thought about with some lovely hotel choices and day stops. At 28 I was the youngest in the group but felt everyone was sociable and inclusive. Would love to do another trip in the future with Making Tracks!

Northen England - Had a blast last week with Mike, Marco & Heather on their Northen England road trip. This is our 4th event and in that, proof of how much we enjoy the excellent organisation, attention to detail, stunning roads and scenary. Austrian Lakes - Just back from our second road trip with Mike and his team at Making Tracks, this time to Austria. The attention to detail in his preparation and organisation made the whole experience so fulfilling. Once again the event delivered excellent value for money. Stunning scenery, excellent hotels, great roads and ultimately something we will cherish for a long time. Great to meet up with old friends and meets lots of new ones too. Looking forward to the next one ............ where too ? Pyrenees - Excellent trip organisation and pre trip information that was provided. Stunning scenery and roads with well timed rest days to broaden our enjoyment. Great to meet and mix with new people with similar interests. Our first time with Mike but intend do another with him at some point in the future .

Very well organised, professional and outstanding. Mike and crew go to the extreme in planning the trips and making sure you have the best experience possible. Everything was to quality and we were so impressed that we are booking our next trip this week and are looking forward to many more over . Could not recommend enough, especially with the value for money. Believe me, well worth it. Edited: 29/06/2024 Just returned from my second trip with Mike. Once again I was blown away with the professionalism, organisation and all round experience. Was fortunate to meet a lot of new people (and seeing some familiar faces too !) while enjoying some of the best adventurous roads Scotland had to offer. I can't recommend Making Tracks enough !!! Already booked my 3rd trip and will have many more Edited 2/11/2024. Just completed our 3rd trip with Mike and again we are blown away. He just keeps getting better and better . Looking forward to the next one. Keep it up Mike. Edited 27/10/2025 Returned from yet another fantastic roadtrip with Mike, Marco and Heather. Awesome routes, fantastic accommodation and professional service well beyond expectations. I just cant recommend enough. Value for money beyond belief and prices that don't break the bank. These trips are so well organised, we went in two cars this time to double the fun. Waiting for next year's schedule to book the next one.

Our third trip with Mike, Marco & Heather…!!! As always everything was as it should be, enjoyable organised and thoroughly memorable. You won’t find another organised road trip that is more professional with superb attention to detail than with Making Tracks…!!!

Originally sold to me by my husband as a holiday to Switzerland, in which we drive in our own car, and experience so many beautiful places along the way. Well what an experience!!!! From start to finish it was all amazing. Mike is just brilliant at what he does putting these road trips together & the organisation & care that is taken for everyone. Marco & Heather were fabulous, they looked after us from the start. The roads, the driving, the Scenery, hotels etc etc etc I could go on & on......We met a very likeminded group to share our holiday with as much or as little as we wanted, but they were such a fab bunch of guys, it was a pleasure spending our week with them & everyone looked after each other. Thankyou Making Tracks Ultimate Road Trips for making our first trip a very memorable one, definitely value for money & hope to see you all very soon on another adventure x

Well what can we say....... This was our first trip with Making Tracks to Switzerland and even before we met up with the group, we can honestly say the communication and planning were second to none! Mike, Marco and Heather were outstanding, from meet 'n' greet, to planning routes, stops for activities & beautiful scenic spots & great hotels. The whole group were very welcoming, a real likeminded down to earth bunch, which makes a big difference to your holiday too. We would certainly recommend Making Tracks for this kind of outstanding organised holiday, if you love driving & want all the above. We will see you all again for another trip, without doubt.

We just completed another amazing road trip to Switzerland. Thoroughly enjoyed. Mike is brilliant as the trips are well thought through and managed. There's a great mixture of driving and scenery. Evenings are chilled with great company. Added bonus is it doesn't break the bank unlike other driving tour companies. We have already re booked for a tuscany trip in September. Can't wait.

Due to unforseen mechanical issues, i was unable to take my Nissan Skyline R34 on this trip and was redused to taking my little Ford Focus 1.0t ecoboost. I was worried i wouldn't be able to keep up with the others. However from the moment I met the group I felt welcome and part of the Making Tracks family. Throughout the trip, the others would constantly make sure I wasn't left behind and yhey even let me ride alongside them to experience some of the fantastic roads as a passenger in their cars. I would say, it doesn't matter if you have a Ferrari LaFerrari or a Ford Focus. Doing a tour with Making Tracks is an experience worth every penny.

Thanks so much for your kind review, Sheldon! It was disappointing for you not to be able to bring your pride and joy but anyone is welcome on a Making Tracks tour. Most of our clients are friendly and welcoming and I'm pleased that you received the kind, 'Making Tracks' welcome. Good luck with your new job and hope to see you again soon!

I absolutely love Making Tracks with Mike and Marco (and the amazing Heather). My dad and I have done a couple of these together now and we love it. The roads are amazing and very thought out. The hotels are always lovely and the activities we do on the way are always memorable. I have to say a highlight was doing the go karting this trip. Hope to see everyone again soon !

Used Making Tracks to tour around the Austrian lakes. Great hotels, sightseeing and plenty of non driving activities offered and available to do. A very relaxed non pressured driving experience led by experienced tour guides. Definitely a couples friendly experience.
