Since 2006, hundreds of MBCA members and guests have taken MBCA’s guided trip through the Stuttgart Region and experienced the rich heritage of Mercedes-Benz first-hand. Members have enjoyed captivating, guided tours of the Mercedes-Benz Museum and other sites to study the history – past and present – of our favorite storied marque.
Now, buckle up for an even more exciting event! The MBCA-AMG German Driving Experience is an adrenaline-fueled tour for the true enthusiast that offers hands-on driving and premium level experiences. Designed for the “more-engaged“ traveler, this trip will feature scenic and autobahn drives through the Baden-Württemberg, Black Forest and Alsace regions of Germany and France, as well as immersive stops like the Vintage and Classic Car rallyes so popular in the US. The 8-day drive will begin and end in Stuttgart and will be limited to 10 total travelers per tour, including two guides.
Note: This trip may not be suitable for people with limited stamina or those unable to walk or climb moderate distances. Some locations may not be ADA compliant to US Standards.
