Please tell us a little bit more about these driving experiences

Our three breathtaking driving tours are all peppered with unusual and exclusive experiences. Guests can uncover the history, charm and atmospheric landscapes within the Scottish Legends tour; experience the heritage, beauty and refinement of quintessential English countryside and estates on the England All Stars tour; and marvel at the elegance, glamour and allure of Italian cities, lakes and mountains on the Italy Unpacked tour.

Why were these routes and properties selected?

Each unique touring escape has been carefully crafted to reflect the beauty, design, heritage and power of Aston Martin and its cars, while providing the outstanding level of personal service and luxury associated with the finest holidays created by Elegant Resorts. Scottish Legends was inspired by mesmerising Highland landscapes that have influenced authors, poets and artists for centuries. England All Stars was inspired by the picturesque countryside that has given rise to British stars of food and screen, and Italy Unpacked celebrates Italian cities that represent the finest in beauty, art, design and craftsmanship.

Who is this type of holiday ideal for?

Discerning guests who wish to combine handcrafted luxury, iconic design and landmark locations, within an incredible, once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Are there any pre-requisites for guests (obviously other than a driving license!)?

You have to be over 25 years old if you would like to hire an Aston Martin, however if you have your own Aston Martin you can drive your own car on these tours.
