Per one customer who booked the Wright Europe Vacations – Private Escorted Auto Tours, "My husband and I wanted to gift our grandson a trip to Germany to tour the car factories. After living in Germany for many years, we were unsure that a formal tour was the path we wanted to take but we are so happy that we did. Not only did Steve book all of the factory tours and accompanying museums for us but chose car-themed hotels and found wonderful restaurants as well. In addition we were also able to visit castles, breweries, take a Munich city tour and fit in a day in the Bavarian/Austrian alps."
