Germany has a wealth of magnificent destinations to visit, many of which are reached on meandering country roads through stretches of glorious countryside such as the Mecklenburg lakeland area, the legendary Harz or the ‘Saxon Switzerland’ region (a UNESCO world cultural heritage site). When you’re not behind the wheel of a Porsche, you can relax at some of the country’s best hotels and restaurants or explore the attractions on offer in some of Germany’s buzzing cities and strongholds of German culture. Visit the Alster in Hamburg, the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin or the Church of Our Lady in Dresden. You’ll also have plenty of opportunity for shopping at a variety of exclusive boutiques.

The day starts at the Porsche complex in Leipzig – with a tour of the production facility and an introduction to your vehicle. Take to the wheel for an accompanied drive on the test track, before enjoying a passenger ride in the Cayenne with one of our instructors for the ultimate adrenalin rush. Break for lunch at the Customer Centre, before setting off for the Harz. The route through this striking highland region is characterised by tight bends and spectacular views. Travel to the picturesque town of Ilsenburg and your destination for the night, the Landhaus Zu den Rothen Forellen. After a welcome drink and a sumptuous dinner, relax in the hotel’s spacious pool and sauna area before retiring to your well-appointed room.

On the second leg of the tour, you set off along the winding roads through the Harz mountains to Wernigerode, whose medieval townscape is still almost completely intact. Stop off for lunch at the Gothisches Haus restaurant set in a magnificent half-timbered building. Afterwards, you continue through Lüneburg Heath to Hamburg and your destination for the night, a five-star hotel. Enjoy a drinks reception, followed by a wonderful dinner and the chance to review the experiences of the day.

After breakfast at the hotel, the tour continues through Lübeck to Schwerin. Break for lunch in opulent surroundings at the Schweriner Schloss restaurant, before continuing on to the coast and the Kempinski Grand Hotel Heiligendamm. After the champagne reception, an exclusive formal dinner awaits you.

Set off to explore a chain of more than 1,000 lakes in the Mecklenburg lakeland area, passing Rostock, Güstrow and Krakow along the way to the Rosendomizil hotel on the shores of Lake Malchow. Surrounded by water on three sides, it offers unforgettable panoramic views. You then continue through Müritz National Park and the Strelitz lakeland area to Berlin where you will check in at a luxury hotel in the city centre. Enjoy a champagne reception, followed by an exclusive formal dinner in the evening.

This leg of the tour is dedicated to exploring Berlin. After lunch, you are free to discover the city and its historical attractions at your leisure. Enjoy a dinner of regional specialities in a traditional restaurant not far from the hotel.

Straight after breakfast, you set off through the Spreewald forest to Bautzen, where you break for lunch. Afterwards, continue through Saxon Switzerland to Dresden. In all its restored splendour, the capital of Saxony has a wealth of attractions: the Zwinger Palace, Semper Opera House and Church of Our Lady are just a few of the highlights on offer. Check-in at the Hotel Taschenbergpalais Kempinski, where a sumptuous dinner awaits.

After a generous breakfast at the hotel, set off on the return journey to Leipzig.
