About this tour
Drive a restored VW T2 Kombi through Cataluña's roads on your own terms, steering these iconic 1970s vans for 1–14 days. Built for wandering, these vehicles feel at home on coastal routes and mountain passes alike. Each Kombi requires respectful handling—manual gearbox, vintage mechanics, genuine history—but rewards you with slow travel, retro charm, and the freedom to chase light at golden hour. Coffee and tea on hand. You're not hiring transport; you're borrowing a piece of automotive culture.
Highlights
- Original 40-year-old VW T2 campervans, fully roadworthy
- Manual transmission and vintage engine—genuine driving experience
- Flexible hire: one day to two weeks across Cataluña
- Complimentary coffee and tea included
- Park-anywhere charm; no fixed itinerary required
What to expect
You'll collect your Kombi with a full briefing on its quirks—clutch engagement, gear selection, weight distribution—and a mutual understanding that you're caretaking a cherished machine. Driving one demands attention: older engines run hot, brakes require firm input, steering is heavier than modern cars. But that deliberation becomes part of the pleasure. Roads feel slower, coastal villages more tangible, campgrounds more intentional. Expect curious onlookers, practical mechanics (things occasionally need tweaking), and the satisfaction of mastering something mechanical. Each hire includes tea or coffee to fuel your journey.
Good to know
Drivers must be over 25, at least 1.65m tall, and have manual gearbox experience—non-negotiable for these vehicles. Service animals welcome. Infant car seats available. Public transport nearby if needed. Treat the van as your own to keep the fleet in touring condition.
