Vintage Tours offers exclusive classic car tours for ladies in Portugal and Extremadura

Kempten, 22 January 2025 - From 2025, Vintage Tours will also be offering exclusive classic car tours for ladies. The tours, which have been specially designed for women, combine fun behind the wheel with plenty of space and time to experience the cultural and culinary highlights of the regions together with like-minded people.

Vintage Tours cooperates with first-class hotels that invite you to relax after the day's stages, creating the perfect setting for a unique and unforgettable travel experience.

The Vintage Tours programme is aimed at both women with a passion for classic cars and women who want to treat themselves to a unique travel experience. Vintage Tours offers both target groups the opportunity to discover the unique landscapes, culture and cuisine of one of the most diverse countries in Europe in a unique and exclusive way and to be among like-minded people.

Vintage Tours relies on perfectly maintained MGA roadsters from the 1960s, which combine elegance with sportiness and ensure maximum driving pleasure and aesthetics. A comprehensive introduction to the operation of the classic cars before the start of the trip ensures that even inexperienced drivers can fully enjoy their road trip and savour the unique atmosphere of their classic car journey to the full.

The current Vintage Tours offer for ladies focuses on the regions of Portugal Norte, the Douro Valley and the Alentejo, three regions that are among the absolute highlights of Portugal due to their unique landscape and culture - and some of which are still real insider tips.

The tours in the green North of Portugal for example, are regarded as an absolute insider tip, because with its unique landscape and untravelled roads, this region, which is still little developed by tourism, is a real classic car destination. But its cultural wealth is also unique. Visits to Guimarães and Braga, which are among the oldest cities in Portugal, are an integral part of these tours, which start in Porto. Selected historic Pousadas invite you to linger and relax after the day's stages and allow your overnight guests to experience the unique history of this multifaceted region.

The Vintage Tour in the Douro Valley is completely under the influence of one of the oldest wine-growing regions in Europe. The road trip leads along unique roads from the lively city of Porto to the Alto Douro, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Here, participants learn about the history of winegrowing in one of the most beautiful river valleys in Europe and stay overnight in exclusive, top-class wine hotels. These wineries blend into the unique landscape of the Alto Douro and invite you to relax and pause for a moment against a marvellous backdrop.

The classic car tours in the Alentejo are characterised by endless cork oak forests and olive groves. The road trips on unspoilt country roads lead to unique cultural highlights such as Évora or Elvas, which tell of the long history of Portugal and the border region with Spain as well as the different cultural influences on the Iberian Peninsula. Here too, Vintage Tours relies on selected historic Pousadas that allow travellers to immerse themselves in the history of this region in a unique ambience after their daily stages.

Over twenty years of exploring and discovering the country and its people in classic cars have gone into the design of the tours. This also applies to the selection of unique routes, which guarantee optimum driving pleasure and take participants to unique places, some of which are still undiscovered by tourism. Vintage Tours also sets standards in the selection of hotels and restaurants. For example, the provider cooperates with the Pousadas de Portugal, whose hotels in culturally and historically significant buildings bring Portugal's long tradition and history to life in maximum comfort. Typical regional specialities are served in carefully selected restaurants.

"Our Vintage Tours for ladies are designed in such a way that, in addition to exploring the landscapes in a classic car, they also offer sufficient space for experiencing the culture and cuisine of the respective region and thus a good balance between driving and other activities. This sets our travel offers for ladies significantly apart from our standard tours and from conventional classic car holidays," says company founder Matthias Haux. "With our offer, we also want to provide easy access to classic cars for ladies who have little personal experience of driving classic cars and therefore also pay attention to a comprehensive introduction to the operation of our roadsters. Last but not least, the tours are organised with a female tour guide," continues Haux.

The tours for ladies will start in April 2025, and from 2026 the programme will be expanded to include road trips in the Spanish regions of Andalusia and Extremadura. Further information can be found at www.vintage-tours.com.
