4×4 Junior Driver
We booked the experience as a Xmas gift for our 14 year old son. Due to the Covid situation, the day had to be postponed. Off Road Driver dealt with this without any problems and transferred to a future date. On the day, the event was clearly signposted and registration only took a few minutes. The instructor was great and ensured that my son had a fantastic time. Would highly recommend.

A great hour
A bit difficult to find but once there, well organised and running to time. Spent half an hour driving round a hilly field with different grades of obstacles and then finished up driving through some woods. A good taster experience

He now wants a Land Rover Defender!
Grandson's second off road experience after a half hour session last year. This time it was a hour and he loved it. So much so he now wants a Land Rover Defender for himself (he's 12!!). Has to make do with a Lego one. The people running the experience at Elvedon in Suffolk were again excellent and made it very enjoyable for him by ensuring he drove the Land Rover again. He scared the pants off his mother who was sitting in the back which made him laugh even more. Can thoroughly recommend it.

Great experience - highly recommended
I was in an L200 pick up. I was shown how to select the correct gearing for the various challenges ahead. The instructor was very knowledgeable and was able to deliver her instructions very clearly. She was very relaxed and put me at ease straight away - even with my parents sitting in the back! We took on muddy ruts up and down steep slopes, rocky terrain and fording a river. The whole experience was brilliant and I’d love to repeat it someday. Great fun. Would definitely recommend.

First time driver
The day was great. Our son had never driven before and the instructor was very calm and patient. He wanted our son to experience everything that a experienced driver could do, which by the end of the hour he achieved. We sat as passengers and loved it.

Great experience!
My 10 year old son had the most amazing hour at the Henley site. The instructor, Dave, was great with him, really calm and instilled him with confidence. Myself and my husband sat in the back of the land rover whilst Will drove us through ramps, streams, woods and up and down steep hills, all with a huge smile on his face. A truly great afternoon, thank you.

My son loved it!!!!!
My lad had a great time driving around the fields and forest. He’s only 11 and to get to drive a Land Rover at his age was awesome, in first and second gear. It was a bit of a crash course all rolled into one. The instructor was great and very patient. He was able to correct my sons driving with the dual controls from his side just in case he got too close to some trees etc. Take the full hour if your child has never drove before because it takes at least 20-30 mins to get used to the driving.

Brilliant experience for the young driver
This is the 2nd experience we've taken my Son to, following the Range Rover one last year (Same organisers). Very friendly instructors, great vehicles. I would recommend choosing this 60 minute experience over the 30, because for most kids its their first time driving a car so you need a good 10-15 minutes learning the controls which doesn't leave much actual driving time if you've only opted for the 30 minute one.

Bought as a gift for 13 yr old son and he was so nervous but my god he was buzzing after! Everything from registration to the experience was easy and most of all the instructors were amazing! Very chatty and friendly! My son has already said he would love to go ahead! In car footage is worth it too!

Kids loved it
Really good event for the kids, they loved the experience, the event moved last minute with poor signage and communication and hard to get through to on the phone, but that doesn't detract too much from the experience. Book direct, as usual, virgin experience, add no value to the process.

A great first driving experience
This was the first time my 11 year old had driven a car, the only downside was because they had lost a lot of Range Rover cars which were adjustable my child could just about see over the steering wheel, but he still really enjoyed it

60 minute 4 by 4 junior driving experience
The driving itself was good. But we had alot of trouble finding the place due to poor directions and sign posting. The directions were attached to trees on paper and were very confusing. We also paid twenty pounds for a video recording of it but when we got home and down loaded it, it had no recording on it. So my son lost his video of the experience and we lost twenty pounds. Which is why I gave it only three stars. Probably wouldn't come back again.

OK but not great
Good points, well organised, nice instructors. Bad points, just not very exciting, hit the auto button and the car descends the steep track with no input from the driver, not exactly the stuff that gets the adrenaline flowing. Cars were autos as well, no changing gears, no giving it some welly. Probably best for those below the driving license age when it would be more of an adventure, not exciting enough if you already drive.

Off road driving experience
Off road is exactly what this was. Never got on the road due to vehicle with flat tyre. It couldn't be fixed for whatever reason, and I have tried for two weeks to book another date. No answer at any time of day when you phone, have left messages and nobody rings back. Virgin have not responded to my emails either. Obviously these are trying times for all businesses, but a reassuring call or email in two weeks isn't much to ask. I doubt this review will make it to the website
