OUR HISTORY
Grand Prix Grand Tours was founded in 2016 in the usual way companies like this start; a couple of friends with a passion in common and an idea about how to turn that into a business. From humble beginnings arranging continental road trips for friends, Grand Prix Grand Tours has grown to become the premier provider of motorsport travel experiences. Grand Prix Grand Tours now arranges over 50 different motorsport experiences in over 20 countries. Whether it is Formula One, MotoGP, or driving a supercar along Europe’s greatest roads, Grand Prix Grand Tours is on hand to offer advice and assistance to ensure you have the holiday of a lifetime.
OUR TEAM
Our team of tour guides and specialist trave advisers come from a variety of backgrounds. Whether that is professional motor-sport, VIP hospitality, or luxury travel, the one thing they all have in common is a shared passion for the business. This means that you get the benefit of the first-hand experience of Europe’s greatest roads and routes for driving tours, knowledge of the best places to sit and stay at whichever Grand Prix takes your fancy, and recommendations of the world’s most exclusive hotels and resorts.
