What Customers are saying... In 2017 and 2018, several Porsche Centre Hong Kong customers joined one of our driving experience holidays in Europe*. Here is a selection of their comments... Our On the Road experience was unforgettable. The routes through Europe were beautiful and every part of the journey had something unique to offer. The hotels were very special and the food amazing. The service team were very accommodating to our requests. This is a trip I wouldn’t hesitate to join and experience again.
I must say I’ve had a most wonderful driving holiday with On the Road Experiences. You should have seen how much my friends envied me while I shared my experiences and photos with them. - Mr. Wilson K. Lee
- Mr. Samson
Instead of merely snapping pictures for a few days, travelling with On the Road Experiences allowed us to slow down and appreciate a great variety of new places in an elegantly organised way. Instead of bringing home just local souvenirs, we returned home with vivid memories and meaningful new friendships with other trip-mates.
911 Porsche experience - ‘Once in a lifetime’ is only the beginning of a long lasting journey. Special thanks to everyone in the team for your caring and fun-loving ways during the tour. We are hungry for our next adventure tour!
- Mr. Patrick Chan
- Mr. Timothy Tso
We attended the Porsche On the Road experience the second time in June this year! This route has given us the pleasure of enjoying the 911, beautiful scenery and delicious food! The crew is once again top notch! We are looking forward to the next experience! Thank you team! - Mr. John Mak
I hadn’t ever encountered a brand that held so true to its name, until I was a part of On the Road Experiences. Anyone can travel through Europe, stop at the ‘it’ place and snap a picture. But, that’s not the type of vacation you will get with the On the Road Experiences team. What to expect? The world you never knew existed. The best part of all of this is, that you never have to think, ‘what am I going to do today?’ On the Road Experiences gave way for me to share my father’s special hobby with him, which was Porsche and, no team could have pulled out all the stops the way that Peter, Cathy, Peifen & Natascha did. I have nothing short of beautiful memories and experiences with the team and I would travel with them again, tenfold. - Ms. Stephanie Morales

Back Roads. Hidden Gems. London, Paris, Milan – Europe's great cities are exciting and international and, surely, places you have visited. Memorable and enjoyable as these are, Europe has much, much more to offer than these magnificent cities: the number and variety of hidden gems are virtually endless. Besides a pit stop at Zuffenhausen, Porsche’s home, this journey will take you to well-known places – Munich and Salzburg, for example - but present them to you in a new light. In addition, we will introduce you to some of the most beautiful, off-the-beaten-path experiences and hidden treasures of Europe.

Culinary Discovery Travel and fine food go together.
Travel and fine food go together. We have designed this journey for food lovers. “Slow food” and “farm-to-table” are central themes. While Michelin-starred restaurants can offer food-as-art, often the most enjoyable meals are home-cooked, like grandma used to make. On this journey we will introduce you not only to some of the regions' finest produce and ingredients, but also take you to restaurants that pride themselves on traditional, home-cooked dishes, many of them off-the-menu selected only for Porsche Centre Hong Kong customers. Your culinary experience will be seasonal, regional and presented in an Asian sharing-style to maximize the different flavours you can taste.
In Austria...traditional specialties and creative compositions...
Farm-to-table in Slovenia...
In Croatia...white truffles as good as they come, superb Mediterranean seafood, and the world's finest olive oil...
Highlights of the Journey... On this journey, you will be able to enjoy some of the following scenic, cultural, architectural and driving experiences*.

Arrive in Frankfurt/Germany to Stuttgart
Stuttgart to Munich
A shuttle will take you from Frankfurt to Porsche’s home in Zuffenhausen/Stuttgart.
You will begin your day with a drive on highways and some country roads to Munich where you will arrive in the early afternoon. Today’s cultural highlight will be a visit and meal at the Munich Oktoberfest.
Your program will begin with lunch at the Porsche Museum followed by a tour of the museum. Then you will take possession of the latest and newest Porsche 911 Carrera 4S which will be yours for the journey! Your first drive will take you to a spa and golf hotel, housed in a castle in the German countryside.
After checking into your hotel, we have arranged a small snack for you before setting out to the Oktoberfest venue, the so-called “Wiesn”. We have created a program for you that includes a rustic Bavarian meal at the Herzkasperlzelt – one of the more charming, smaller “tents” that is a bit less touristy and more traditional – as well as a walk through a part of the huge entertainment grounds that are the home of the Oktoberfest. There will be food and drink throughout the afternoon and evening; hence, we have no separate dinner planned.
Morning Arrive in Frankfurt Shuttle from Frankfurt to Stuttgart Welcome lunch at the Porsche Museum Afternoon Exclusive tour of the Porsche Museum and drive into the German countryside Evening Gala dinner Driving Time 1:30 hours*

Munich/Germany to Salzburg/Austria
In and around Salzburg
The morning after (the Oktoberfest) you will not want to get up too early. We have therefore set the departure time later than on most other days.
Your hotel for these two days is Schloss Fuschl, a superb castle hotel located in the heart of the Salzkammergut with over 70 sparkling lakes nearby.
In the morning, you will drive to the shore of Bavaria’s biggest lake, Chiemsee, to enjoy lunch.
“Salzburg with its surroundings is – alongside Rio de Janeiro and Constantinople – one of the most beautiful urban regions in the world!” Even today, the words of Alexander von Humboldt, world-famous traveler and scientist of the late 19th century, ring true.
In the afternoon, we will take you on what arguably is the most beautiful road in Bavaria: the Rossfeld Panoramastrasse. It hugs the Austrian Alps and affords you a first view of these magnificent mountains before you descend into Salzburg and the surrounding lake region, the Salzkammergut. Dinner will be at your hotel.
Today, after you drive to the outskirts of Salzburg, we have arranged a horse-drawn carriage ride into the heart of the city, then a guided tour of Salzburg’s highlights, a private Mozart concert, and local and international shopping opportunities. In the late afternoon, you will drive back to your hotel. After a short rest, we will take you to a superb local restaurant only a few minutes from your hotel.

Salzburg to Carinthia
Carinthia/Austria to Trieste/Italy
Today begins with a short drive beside some of the Salzkammerguts’ most beautiful lakes and then a visit to Bad Ischl, the Austrian-Hungarian Emperor’s summer residence for many years. There, we would like to introduce you to one of Austria’s finest patisseries…their sweets are to die for!
Today will be a beautiful drive that will see you crossing from Austria into Slovenia and then into Italy.
In the afternoon you will drive through the charming Austrian countryside and then across a part of the Austrian Alps. Your accommodation for the night is a boutique hotel in the midst of Alpine meadows and pine forests. The hotel is built in the style of traditional Austrian mountain homes – rustic from the outside, but with all modern amenities in the inside. It is a true gem of a hotel.
The morning drive will be longish, but very much worthwhile since you will be driving on wonderful roads in the Slovenian countryside, including a section of Slovenia’s most beautiful national park, the Triglav Park. Your reward for the drive will be lunch at a hidden gem of a restaurant from which, we think, you may not want to leave. In the afternoon you won’t have much further to go before you enter Italy and then, soon after, arrive at your hotel for the night: it is located in the centre of Trieste, the Austrian-Hungarian empire’s most treasured port city. Dinner will be at the hotel.
Morning Lakeside drive and a visit to the erstwhile Austrian emperor's summer residence Lunch in one of Austria's best known patisseries Afternoon Drive across the Austrian Alps Evening A traditional Alpine dinner at your hotel Driving Time 3:30 hours* Hotel Das Almdorf, Carinthia (4-star)

Trieste/Italy to Rovinj/Croatia
In and around Istria
Today you will drive from Italy to Croatia. Along the way, after a short drive from Trieste, we have a special activity for you: a visit to Lipica, the birthplace and training ground of the majestic horses that perform at Vienna’s world-famous “Imperial HorseRiding School”: in Vienna it is a show; at Lipica these horses are in harmony with nature.
Istria, where your hotel is located, is a northern peninsula of Croatia. Between World War I and II, it belonged to Italy; these Italian influences can still be felt today. For Europeans, Istria is a well-known destination for food lovers. From mouthwatering, fresh seafood to the world’s finest olive oil and from its own version of prosciutto to some of the world’s best white truffles (which will be in season!), Istria has it all. Besides being a “foodie” destination, it has lovely, Roman fishing villages for sightseeing, plus local shopping... etc. and wonderful roads to enjoy your all new Porsche 911 Carrera.
In the afternoon, you will cross the border into Croatia’s Istrian peninsula where you still spend the next two days. Your hotel will be right by the Adriatic Sea. Before dinner, Porsche Centre Hong Kong is sponsoring a unique activity… which will remain a secret for now! Dinner will be at your hotel.
If you simply want to relax at your hotel, enjoy its excellent cuisine and very good spa facility, it would be a lovely way to spend the day as well. In the evening, we will take you to a small, local restaurant for dinner.
Morning Drive from Trieste to Slovenia Visit the Lipica Stud Farm Afternoon Drive from Slovenia and cross the border into Croatia Evening Dinner at your hotel Driving Time 2:30 hours* Hotel Monte Mulini (5-star)
* Note: Driving times are approximate.

Day-by-Day Description & Day Programs
Oct 9-10, 2019 (Wed-Thu) Istria/Croatia to Ljubljana/Slovenia (and on to Frankfurt/Germany) Today you can make a leisurely start into the day: all that lies ahead of you is one last day of driving (partly on country roads, partly on highways) to the airport of Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia. Along the way, we have one more lovely lunch arranged for you in the Slovenian countryside.
In the evening you will fly from Ljubljana to Frankfurt where you will stay at the Hilton Airport hotel for the night. On the following day, life has to go on. We wish you a safe and enjoyable return to Hong Kong or onward journey to another destination.
After arriving at the airport, you will return your Porsche - perhaps with a touch of sadness, after having enjoyed the experience of driving the all-new 911 where it was designed to be driven, on the highways and byways of Europe.
