Land Rover Experience Driving School

Fantastic experience: The Land Rover Off Road school was a great experience. We chose the full-day experience and we were not disappointed. There were 3 of us in the Defender and we each has 2+ hours of drive time. If you have. Land Rover, you need to take this course. You won’t believe what your vehicle can do!

Fantastic experience: The experience delivered more than I expected and I learned a few new things about my Land Rover's capability. The staff was great. Very helpful throughout the entire day and quite knowledgeable. They worked their butts off on the course! One minor suggestion...the "How To Find Us" button on the reminder email sent us to the office, not to the meeting place via Google Maps. Perhaps that could be updated to show the actual meeting place. Three other attendees had the same issue. Otherwise we learned a lot and had a great time.

Fantastic experience: Had an amazing experience and was treated like family immediately upon entering. The crew and our instructor (Alan) really went the extra step. If you’re not a LR owner, DO THIS! If you are and haven’t done it, you’re missing out !!

Fantastic experience: Our instructor, David, was amazing with our teen as we traversed a variety of obstacles along their extensive track. I highly recommend this experience!

Fantastic experience: David and crew were terrific. David adjusted the program to our experience and goals - much learned and most enjoyed — highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Just had our second experience here. First time many years ago for my husband’s 50th and now for mine. Did the half day with Christine. Honestly, the best birthday ever! Christine is an amazing instructor. Knowledgeable. Fun. Patient. Ask for her. She rocks!!!! Oh. And the cars are pretty cool too.

Fantastic experience: It was an awesome time me and my boys went and a couple of friends and we all loved it and would do it again

Fantastic experience: This was one of my most memorable experiences-beats the purpose of the trip design by LR mktg. It truly demonstrates the capability of the Defender, teaches one to take care of your car, and yet stretch the limits at off roading. Allen was our instructor - he was fabulous! His background, experience of teaching driving, his humor - he blended in with us and truly made it AN experience. I wanted to put this publicly so that future off roaders / potential LR owners hear this. These cars are beyond just utilitarian value - an experience. Wonder how the heritage ride would be ? Another day perhaps! (@ Manchester, VT)

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Land Rover Experience in Manchester, VT ! I am a Manchester local and have done the Experience with Christine. She is very knowledgeable and articulate on how to drive the trails. As a first time Land Rover Discovery owner Christine and David have been very helpful in guiding me through the learning curve of my new car. Love the car even more because of them.

Fantastic experience: Our instructor was fun and showed us a memorable experience!! It is lots of fun and they really do a great job!!!! A must do if you are in the area.

Fantastic experience: My son talked me into doing this and I’m so glad he did. Our instructor was amazing and we had a wonderfully time. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to try driving off road for the 1st time or wanting to pick up new skills.

Fantastic experience: This was an awesome adventure. The experts at this driving course were versed in automotive history through current capabilities and future plans for the brand. While visiting Manchester, VT this is a “do not miss” experience! Our guide was fantastic in giving us direction, and although tilting completely forward or sideways was a little scary, she crept us through every step in detail and we had FUN! The locations are easy and convent and the views are breathtaking! The office has fun photos & memorabilia as well.

Fantastic experience: If I could give a 5+rating I would. Allister has tremendous knowledge of land rover vehicles, off-roading and the area in general. IT IS WORTH EVRY PENNY!

Fantastic experience: My fiancé and I had a fantastic time on the Heritage tour with both the new Defender 110 and a classic Defender 90. Well worth the trip - great experience. The staff and instructors were knowledgeable, patient, and so so nice!

Fantastic experience: I have been to the Biltmore Land Rover Experience many time so I decided to take the family to Land Rover Experience in Manchester Vermont, I am so glad I was able to bring my family to the Experience, little did my soon to be fiancé know that we had planned a proposal on the Equinox mountain. Dave and his fantastic team made it a most memorable day! We can not thank them enough for their help in making this so perfect!

Fantastic experience: This was a great morning. The staff were all very friendly, professional and knowledgeable about the vehicle. We learned a great deal about how the vehicle functions off road and the controls. We knew we were getting a great looking vehicle, but there is a beast under that beauty. Thank you David, Christina and all the staff at Land Rover experience Vermont. We highly recommend this to anyone wanting to experience some great thrills!

Fantastic experience: What a great experience. Chad did an amazing job communicating and taking us through the paces. If you’re in VT make time to book an experience. It’s well worth it!

Fantastic experience: This was definitely not a wimpy driving experience!!!! Mega fun, extremely highly recommend. Worth every penny!

Fantastic experience: So much fun. Highly recommend for anyone regardless of off-roading experience, the instructors will take care of you and let you push the vehicles as far as you can. Super cool.

Fantastic experience: Incredibly fun Land Rover off-road experience for the entire family with a knowledgeable staff that assist you using 2-way radios with vehicle features/settings to climb, crawl and drive over different terrain. Great stop while visiting Manchester VT.

Fantastic experience: Where to begin...The Land Rover Experience Driving School was incredible! They are following the CDC Guidelines very well! The Rover's were clean, wiped down, and ready to go. I appreciate that very much! It is amazing how capable these Rover's are and allows you to appreciate the technology. David was an amazing guide and I learned a lot from him. He also has a great sense of humor. Plus, David kept it fun and very professional at the same time. Thank you. My fiancée and I did this together and really look forward to doing it again. Maybe the winter? I would highly recommend this to any of my friends or family. It truly is a phenomenal experience. Thank you to Land Rover. Thank you also to David! Keep up the great work and look forward doing it again!

Fantastic experience: David and Christina led us on a 2 hour off road adventure that did not disappoint! Their expert guidance really showcased the impressive capabilities of the new Defender 110. We give the whole experience a 10 plus excellent rating.

Fantastic experience: Omg this was incredible. David was our instructor, and you would NEVER know seperate cars was a new way of doing things. It was seamless, easy to understand, and you have a safe but incredible experience. They even did a little something special for our anniversary! It's worth every penny and a MUST DO!

Fantastic experience: An excellent instructor, a super charged Range Rover with low ratios and two hours in a challenging environment.... We recently headed to Vermont for a weekend getaway. On the spur of a moment we decided to head over to the ‘school’. This place is the epitome of customer service and professionalism. We were assigned Christine as our instructor and guide in the 2019 Range Rover supercharged. Her instructions on car handling in the rough were layered with humor and encouragement to push the limits of the vehicle all in a very ‘controlled’ environment. Well the control was in her instructions. But really they were all you needed to experience off-roading at its finest. To be honest, she started us off with demonstrating Range Rover tech like cameras and readings in display showing terrain, how to easily place your wheels on desired patch of land. Then she also helped with tricks on how to do the same without tech aids. We had a velar a distance away to accompany us on the outing to ensure backup in the event we got stuck. I would definitely recommend visiting this place. It’s worth every dollar. If Range Rover is listening, this is exactly the kind of place you need to sell more of these amazing machines. Extreme off-roading, in 5- star comfort does wonders to drive up the brand value. No sales pressure, just happy to demonstrate the qualities of the vehicle and ensuring you have a great time. I need to mention couple of things though. Not the school’s fault. Near the end of our course, when we tried to get the cameras turn back on they wouldn’t turn on!!! Not something you want happening in a 120k 2019 car with less than 3k miles. Also, the touch buttons on the door sill are disconcerting. Accidental touches when you rest your arms result in Audio turning off/on, sun blinds opening closing, and if you are in driver seat, car going to easy entrance height when stopped off-road.

Fantastic experience: My wife and I did the full day driving experience this past weekend at the Manchester Vermont Land Rover Driving School and had such a great experience we felt compelled to write this review after we got back from our vacation. Because we did an entire day, we had the opportunity to spend time with Bill, Christina, and Chad. All three were consummate professionals that were not only extremely knowledgeable but also easy going and fun to talk to. We had a chance to drive the LR4, Discovery, and a vintage Defender. They have all current Land Rover models available but these were the 3 specific ones I had requested. The Defender is a special add-on package to our full day experience; I would recommend this to anybody interested in driving a piece of automotive history. Throughout the day we did a combination of class room style instruction, obstacle courses on their large off roading facility meant to demonstrate specific situations you're likely to see in the real world, and then we drove local trails that were surprisingly difficult and pushed us much more than we had expected, in a good way, and finally these trails took us to the peak of Mt Equinox where we stopped for photos. If you tell them that you are here to learn, they will cater to that without pulling any punches. Throughout the day all three of the instructors were extremely patient and knowledgeable answering a ton of my questions, everything from tire selection to talking about differentials and suspension, none of which were particularly specific to Land Rovers. You can tell all of them are passionate about off roading, and not just trying to sell you a Land Rover, and their enthusiasm was truly contagious. I can't say enough about how great our experience was, and we are already planning to go back in the winter time to do the whole thing again, except in the snow. If you are even slightly considering doing this when you're in Manchester, don't even think twice just book it. You won't regret it.

Fantastic experience: My family and I had a blast! We did a full day, then decided last minute to return for a half day. The instructors were very informative and pleasant to be around. We plan on returning in the winter to add a whole different element to the experience.

Fantastic experience: These guys are amazing! David, jack, James & the rest of the team. Extremely helpful, very funny & also very accommodating. I spoke to David several times prior to taking the drive up and he was always polite and helpful. Had a 2hour trail booked for 4pm, arrrived an hour later (5pm) and the guys were so understanding and still took us out on the trail! These guys are the epitome of customer service! Thanks for the wonderful time LR Vermont.

Fantastic experience: This place was lifechanging! I felt empowered by my new driving skills. I am a better driver (and I was already amazing - just ask me) lol. The course is great and the trainers are funny and highly skilled.
