We've just returned from our final planning visit prior to the tour and have posted some new photos on our photo gallery including our visit to the charming island Orta St Giulio on Lake Orta

To see photos taken during our planning visit see our photo gallery , see link on the menu bar at the top of the page.

I've just returned from 6 days in the Italian Lakes checking out the daily routes and the hotels for our May tour and we have some real treats in store for participants ! On day three of our tour, Sunday,following our visit to the Sclumpf museum in Mulhouse we will drive down to Lucerne in Switzerland which is where I joined the route.Our hotel is on the Sarnersee a charming small lake 20 miles south of Lucerne.The hotel is a member of the Relais de Silence group and has a great restaurant overlooking the lake.The following day I drove 20 miles south to Interlaken which will be our morning coffee stop on day 4 of the tour.As the Grimsel Pass and Simplon pass, which we will be using on the actual tour, were both closed I had to drive back to Lucerne and through the Gottard tunnel into Italy to Lake Orta which is 20 miles west of Lake Maggiore.I stayed at Orta St Giulioat our tour hotel with stunning views over Lake Orta but as the hotel restaurant was closed I ended up having dinner at Villa Crespi a 2* Michelin restaurant only half a mile up the road, altogether a wonderful experience! The following day I drove the tour route, day 5, across to Lake Maggiore and stopped at Stresa for a coffee before driving up the west shore of the lake to Cannobio which will be our early lunch stop on the tour.From here I drove clockwise around Lake Maggiore to Luino on the east shoreline and then left the lake and headed east to Lake Lugano where I followed the lake around on a charming minor road recommended by Andy, one of the participants on the tour, who happens to have a house on Lake Lugano then through Lugano town and up along the north shoreline of the lake to Porlezza at the top of the lake.From here it's only 30 minutes drive to Lake Como and our hotel in Menaggio on the western shore overloking the lake.That night in the hotel restaurant the only other diner was a retired Englishman who had become a multi millionaire following the sale of a large UK Ford dealership ten years ago!It turned out that he actually lives in the south of France but has a villa next door to the hotel and had been eating there for 20 years !The following day, which will be day 6 of the tour, I drove down the western bank of Lake Como through Cernobbio where the famous luxury hotel Villa d'Este is based and then through Como town and up the picturesque lake shoreline to Bellagio which will be our morning coffee stop.From here I caught the small car ferry to Varenna a 15 minute scenic journey.Then it was a pleasant drive up the eastern lake road to Colico on the north east corner of Lake Como.From here I headed east into the hills through Sondrio to Teglio.At this point the tour route crosses the river to Edolo but instead I drove up to Bormio which is the start of the Stelvio pass which we are going to drive over on our September tour,( the Italian Grand Prix/Stelvio Pass/Italian Lakes tour).The Stelvio was, as expected, closed but I managed to drive up the first kilometre before reaching the barrier blocking the road and taking a couple of pictures !On our Septenber tour we will be staying overnight in Bormio and I needed to find a nice hotel and was lucky enough to find a picturesque one in the centre of town that I had noted on my previous visit to Bormio.It turns out that Giuseppe, the hotel owner, has 3 Porches so we'll have a warm welcome from him, his wife and Samantha his daughter when we arrive with our group !The next day I retraced my route back to Teglio where I rejoined the day 6 route of our Mille Miglia tour and drove across the mountains through Edolo across to Lake Garda and down to Desenzano at the bottom south west corner of the lake where I stayed overnight in the hotel which we will be using on the Mille Miglia tour for four nights.The following day I drove a hundred miles down to Maranello which is home of Ferrari and where we will visit the Ferrari museum,( Galleria Ferrari) on day 8 of the tour and then a further 25 miles to Sant Agata Bolognese where Lamborghini is based.Here I visited the Lamborghini museum for the first time and arranged for us to visit the factory and museum on day 8 of our tour.At 4.00pm in the afternoon I left the Lamborghini museum, jumped on the autostrada/autoroute and drove 700 miles back to the Dordogne where I arrived at 3.30am ! Anyway I'll be back in April to double check the route from Lake Lucene to Lake Garda with my brother who is joining me to visit the Concorso d'Eleganza at Villa d'Este on Lake Como. For anyone reading this who has not booked on the Mille Miglia tour it's not too late but you need to contact us quickly!For those of you who have booked, you have a real treat awaiting !

MILLE MIGLIA/ITALIAN LAKES TOUR TO VISIT THE FERRARI MUSEUM AND LAMBORGHINI MUSEUM Our tour to watch the Mille Miglia will now include visits to the Galleria Ferrari in Maranello,( the Ferrari museum) and to the Lamborghini museum in San Agata Bolognese.We have also just arranged a visit to the Lamborghini factory too, (see above).

LAKES AUTUMN TOUR, SEPTEMBER 30th-OCTOBER 1st 2007
With 25 cars embracing old classics and modern sports cars this weekend event, the last of our 2006 calendar, got off to a brilliant start when the sun miraculously appeared after 2 days of rain! Saturday's route was truly spectacular and took in most of the lakes and mountain passes.The morning coffee stop on the banks of Ullswater at Aira force waterfalls was a welcome break and the day continued in sunshine with the scenery stunning everyone.After an afternoon coffee stop at Ol' Ratty the narrow guage railway station the sting in the tail was an ascent of Hardknott and Wrynose passes with their one in four gradients.Philip Simmie from Australia in his Ferrari Mondiale convertible who with his wife Ailsa had participated on our Alps trip to Monaco's Historic Grand Prix earlier in the year claimed that Saturday's route was probably the most scenic day's driving he had ever experienced! Sunday's route took us into the little visited North East lakes and the pretty Eden Valley and provided us with open roads through sleepy villages.Our surprise afternoon "check point" at the chocolate factory in Orton resulted in everyone being given a hand- made chocolate car in CCTI livery! Our afternoon trip through tranqil moorland scenery back to the Heaves Hotel just south of Kendal finished off an an amazing weekend's driving.The celebratory dinner and awards presentation on Sunday evening was enjoyed by all and it was encouraging to see that after a number of strangers had assembled on Saturday morning these had been transformed into friends 48 hours later!

ANGOULEME CIRCUIT DES REMPARTS RACES /DORDOGNE TOUR, SEPTEMBER 13th-20th 2007
Our 5th tour to Angouleme to watch the classic and historic car races was once again a huge success.Our route down from St.Malo via a breakfast stop at the charming Cancale Port Merand a lunch stop at medieval Vitre took us to our afternoon coffee stop at the Le Mans Museum where we joined by our friends on the Economy tour.This was followed by a drive down the Mulsanne Straight, where certain individuals may have marginally exceeded the speed limit! After a late afternoon stop at a classic car showroom in the Loire Valley our arrival at the charming Anne d'Anjou hotel on the river in Saumur was well received.The following day's route through the Vienne valley down to the Dordogne passed through some beautiful villages and everyone arrived in Bourdeilles, our base for the next5 nights,elated but ready for a welcome drink.On Friday we treated everyone to lunch in Riberac before visiting the pretty hilltop village of Aubeterre where a visit to the amazing monolithic church impressed all.Saturday's morning visit to Brantome introduced us to one of France's most beautiful towns and this was followed by lunch at the nearby Moulin du Roc restaurant, one of the Dordogne's top eateries.Our Saturday afternoon trip to Angouleme enabled us to drive around the circuit so that everyone could appreciate just what the Sunday racing involved.As usual the Circuit des Remparts racing on Sunday was spectacular and after three days of rain the sun miraculously appeared to make the racing even more enjoyable.Our Monday trip to Sarlat,Europe's best preserved medieval town used a scenic route and after a leisurely lunch was followed by a visit tothe stunning Beynac before an exhilarating drive on quiet roads back to our hotel.Tuesday's route back to the Loire valley on minor roads took us to our afternoon coffee stop at Richlieu before arriving at our beautiful hotel in St Patrice,the stunning Chateau Rochecotte. Here a welcome swim in the outdoor heated pool offered welcome relaxation before we spent our final night with a celebratory dinner in the sumptuous dining room.On Wednesday our trip back to the afternoon ferry at Caen incorporated a coffee stop at the famous Hotel de France in La Chartre sur le Loir the base of the 1950's Aston Martin's Le Mans racing team followed by lunch at the cathedral town of Sees.Our arrival in the ferry port of Caen was accompanied by brilliant sunshine and some of us took advantage of the Mediterranean type weather by sunning ourselves on the ferry deck on the return trip home.Angouleme was as ever magical and we now look forward to next year's event!

WELSH BORDERS/OULTON PARK GOLD CUP RACES August 26th-28th
This was a new tour for us and due to the favourable response is likely to become a firm fixture on our calendar.
Starting off on Saturday morning at our hotel overlooking Tintern Abbey our route zig- zagged along the pretty Welsh borders.Sunday's route took us into Shropshire the UK's most rural and least populated county before arriving in Cheshire and our hotel for the next two nights near Chester.Monday morning's drive took us to Oulton Park, arguably the UK's prettiest circuit, to watch the nostalgic Gold Cup classic car racing,which despite the morning rain, offered some spectacular viewing.Sunshine eventually appeared to enhance the pleasure of the afternoon racing and everyone agreed it had been a great event with something for all including the historic rally cars on the special circuit.

SCOTTISH HIGHLANDS AND ISLANDS TOUR May27th-June 3rd
Starting at the Heaves Hotel south of Kendal on Sunday morning our route took us on quiet country roads up to the Scottish borders eventually arriving in our Hotel in Oban where after dinner the hotel proprietor delighted us all by showing us her one- owner and very original Jaguar E type !The following morning we caught the ferry to the island of Mull our base for the next two days.Tuesday morning was a relaxed affair and at lunchtime we drove down to the nearby port, left the cars behind and climbed aboard a small boat which took us off to the island of Staffa where we had a couple of hours to explore Fingal's Cave and the nearby Puffin colony.The boat then took us to Iona the Holy Island where after a visit to the famous church and a walk around the peaceful lanes we arrived at the local restaurant for a welcome drink before doing battle with an amazing sea food dinner that could match any restaurant in Britain for the freshness of its food not to mention the size of its portions.The following day we left Mull by ferry at Fishnish to the Mainland and followed the Kingairloch coastline up to Loch Ness before arriving north of Inverness.On Thursday after a day's driving on scenic roads across the Pass of the Cattle and along the Kyle of Lochalsh we crossed the bridge over to Skye where we spent the next day on a relaxing drive around the island.Leaving Skye on Saturday by ferry this time we arrived in Mallaig and enjoyed a magical day's drive to Fort William,Glen Coe,Rannoch Moor,Glen Orchy around Loch Awe and down the Mull of Kyntyre to Stone field Castle our hotel near Tarbert.Our final day involved a ferry to Arran and an anti-clockwise tour of the island before catching the ferry to Androssan and on to our hotel at Lockerbie for our farewell dinner.Everyone agreed the week had been a lot of fun with some spectacular scenery and bookings are already being taken for 2007!

LE MANS CLASSIC RACES/LOIRE VALLEY TOUR JULY 6th-12th
Our first trip to watch the Le Mans classic races went down very well with all our clients.Four of them were so impressed that they booked straight away on our Angouleme Circuits des Remparts/Dordogne Tour in September! The clients on this 7 day tour were based in Chateau Rochecotte in St.Patrice truly deserving the accolade sumptuous with its much welcome swimming pool. The weekend's exciting racing was followed by a leisurely tour of the pretty Loire Valley with visits to some wonderful little known attractions including private chateaux,museums,churches and gardens as well as a visit to a couple of excellent local restaurants. Although the Le Mans Classic races are not held next year we will be organising a Loire Valley tour with Chateau Rochecotte as our base so watch this space!

HIGH ROADS TOUR JULY 27th-30th
Our new 4 day tour was a huge success with participants.Starting in Rugby we motored through some charming villages in Staffordshire and Rutland before arriving at our first night's hotel in the Peak District.Continuing on picturesque minor roads we travelled into Yorkshire and enjoyed the tranquil beauty of the Yorkshire Dales before arriving in the stunning Lake District where we spent our last 2 nights at what everyone agreed was a great hotel.The routes throughout were extremely picturesque with the Lake District providing arguably the most stunning scenery. This tour will certainly feature in our 2007 programme so watch out for details!

MONACO HISTORIC GRAND PRIX/ALPINE TOUR, MAY 12th-22nd
The tour was a great success with a stunning route that started in Boulogne and went through 7 countries:
France,Belgium.Luxembourg,Germany,Switzerland,Italy ending up in Monaco for the weekend of the 5th Monaco Historic Grand Prix.Everyone was impressed with the stunning scenery especially once we reached the Alps and the choice of hotels went down very well indeed.Despite some of the highest passes being closed due to snow there were still plenty of driving challenges and remarkably we were blessed with sunshine throughout each day which made the stunning scenery even more appealing. Although the Monaco Historic races are not being held next year (they are bi-annual) we will certainly be running the Alpine tour probably towards the end of June 2007 when most of the snow has disappeared.

LAKELAND SPRING CLASSIC APRIL 8th-9th
Our first UK event of 2006 was a resounding success with over 20 cars including 3 Aston Martins. The route climbed over 7 mountain passes and visited 13 Lakes. Arthur Richards,one of our regular clients and veteran of dozens of car tours throughout Europe voted it the most scenic tour he had ever done and that includes the Pyrenees and the Alps. We agree!
