Thread: Gotham Dream Car Tour, is it worth it?

I want to get my cousin a gift for his birthday, I know he has a love for exotics, and I came upon this car tour. This is the info from the site, it's 895 per person who wants to drive with a free passenger, or 295 per person with a co driver. The line up will be Mclaren's, Lambo's, Ferrari's, Bentley's, Aston Martin's, etc, etc. I believe you go on a 150 mile tour with 20 to 30 mins driving time with each car switching cars with people at check points. This is from the site..

The Dream Car Tour™ is an alternative to our daily exotic car rentals and is a unique and exciting opportunity to experience world-class driving - and the thrill and passion of six different exotic sports cars - all in a single day - for less than the cost of one standard rental.

The Dream Car Tour puts you and up to twelve of your friends, family members and associates behind the wheel of some of the world's most exhilarating automobiles - for just $895! (per driver)

Drive six different vehicles from among our stunning collection of the world's greatest automobiles, including the Ferrari F430, the Lamborghini Gallardo & Murcielago, the luxurious Bentley Continental GT, the stunning Aston Martin DB9 and more.
Compare and contrast the performance and handling characteristics of each vehicle as you experience them for 20 - 30 minutes each on the open roadway. You'll drive a total of nearly 150 miles through some of the best roads in the area (we've driven them all!). Afterwards, you'll have an opportunity to share your experience with the other drivers and decide which is your favorite.

Learn about the specifics of each vehicle before you drive. Our trained professional staff will give you a complete overview of each vehicle - including full instruction on the operation of certain vehicles' electronic "F1-style" transmission. You'll be driving like a pro in no time! Remember your experience with our complimentary gift package that includes a certificate of completion, t-shirt, DVD and other mementos of your day.

Do you think it's worth the price for his birthday present?

Sounds like it would be a great birthday present and great experience. I was just looking at Black and White car rental ( a great place in LA and beverly hills) and loosely based off the prices found on their website, 895$ seems like it would be reasonable. I understand the purpose of B&W differs from this tour so take it with a grain of salt.

That is WAY WAY WAY cheaper than the World Class Driving tour! Thats 3 times less expensive

looks like the best way to spend $895 bucks. Def worth it

My wife got me this for my birthday... Haven't made a reservation yet.

Looks like Feb / March are my only options for S. Florida, I'll report back.

I've been passenger on this tour two times, and there was not one person who left without a smile on their face. It's an absolute blast, and they let you tear it up on the highway and then take it into Bear Mountain (the best driving roads around here). Definitely worth it!

This sounds really fun, does it come to Canada? Where can I find out?

Edit: Nevermind, the link wasn't working at first but now it's working.
