The Nostalgic Team

As a tourist trainee at the ADAC (Germany Automobile Club) I immediately struck gold when Nostalgic was looking for a Junior Event Manager for the office in Munich. I speak Italian and love Italy, moreover I love cars and especially classic cars, and exchanging advice with customers on the phone is a huge spark of fun to me. It has been a great challenge, but always enjoyable. Our guests come from all over the world, but thanks to extensive product training and my experience from the travel agency, we have everything under control by our small, but fine team. From time to time I also have the chance to take part in events myself, where I get to know the service providers personally. The latter makes it easier to avoid many cliffhangers from the daily work in the office.

Felix:

My name is Felix, I have been supporting Nostalgic as Event Manager since spring 2022. Working professionally with automobiles was a long-cherished dream: I was able to organize and accompany training courses on well-known racetracks for M GmbH and its motorsport sector. And all the way up north, where BMW offers exciting winter training courses. But since I'm fond of summer, the sun and everything Mediterranean, the advertisement at Nostalgic was a hit. With incredible passion, the small, highly motivated team is on the road from one unique journey to the next, with classic cars in incredible collector's condition. I am your contact person on the phone and I am also regularly present at events when you drive through beautiful landscapes at the wheel of our vintage car, with the wind in your hair and a fine glass of wine in the evening. Nostalgic is not only the first choice for our guests, but also for every employee who loves cars!

Ludwig:

I am happy to say that I’m now the longest-serving tour guide, but my job interview back then was pretty bumpy. I thought it was important to mention that I’m in the Porsche cup – it did not impress my soon-to-be bosses. It was much more important to show that I had what it took to keep discerning guests in good moods and handle tough situations on tours. Gert and Walter, the two founders of Nostalgic, are confidently tough. They manage to inspire their teams and to motivate them in the long term. The most frequent question asked by my guests over the four dozen events was: “Which Nostalgic journey is the best?” I can never give only one answer: Tuscany, full of postcard motifs and Carlas divine tagliatelle al Tartufo in the “Bottega di Volpaia”? Or the Lago Maggiore with its 1950s flair and the pavilion of the Castello Seeschloß in Ascona, where the lunch break cannot be long enough? Maybe it’s Southern France around Saint-Remy-de-Provence, the Abbey of Senanque and Gordes. The decision is never easy. I remember at one point, I had to check the Roadbook many times just over fifty kilometers – in the middle of the night! I had never seen so many foxes, deer, and wild boars before. We made it through without incident though! Between seasons, just so that the winter break doesn’t take too long too, I scout lonely pre-alpine roads in Bavaria for photo shootings with the VW Beetle Cabriolets.

Bruno:

Since one season, I've been working as a tour guide with Nostalgic. My craftsmanship and attention to detail, honed through my completed training as a locksmith and blacksmith, prove incredibly useful when dealing with the cars. What I enjoy even more than the classic cars during my tours is the contact with our guests and the strong sense of community within the Nostalgic team. The first-class cooperation of all tour guides enables our guests to experience a carefree and relaxed journey, whether it's in an Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider through Tuscany or behind the wheel of a Mercedes-Benz "Pagoda" along the shores of Lake Maggiore. This is the essence of "Dolce Vita"; I cannot imagine experiencing this feeling on any other trip. My personal favorite, by the way, is the Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider, dubbed "la Signorina" (the Miss) by its creator Pininfarina. In no other open classic car do you feel so connected to the road while constantly being followed by admiring glances!

Luca:

I am 23 years old and hail from the French Riviera. For several years now, I have been studying management and psychology. I was fortunate enough to grow up multilingual and interact with people from various countries. Before joining Nostalgic, I spent several months hitchhiking through Morocco. As a tour guide, I look forward to expanding my knowledge of classic cars and exploring exciting regions with our guests.

Fabio:

Born in 2002, I am studying sports management and have a passion for classic cars, from sporty Alfa Romeos to elegant Mercedes-Benz SLs. Additionally, I have an above-average affinity for Italy. Having already worked in service and met various types of guests, I can say that the best part of Nostalgic is truly the guests: it's incredible how people from all over the world become friends, have fun, and enjoy the shared experience in such a short time!

Alex:

As a native of Sindelfingen, I was practically born with a passion for Mercedes-Benz. Now, having the opportunity to work with these historic automobiles excites me immensely. I am currently in my second season with Nostalgic and have been on several trips. What I enjoy most is the close collaboration with colleagues and watching the guests emerge from the classic cars with beaming smiles. The excellent food at Carla's and the stunning landscapes are just the icing on the cake! When I’m not traveling with Nostalgic, I am pursuing my medical studies in Innsbruck. I can’t wait to hit the road again with Nostalgic and drive the most beautiful routes in Sicily, my favorite destination.
