Why Route 66 through us?
We’re not just another tour operator offering Route 66 holidays. We know the road, the people, the buildings and the experience. We’re passionate about America's “Mother Road”… and once you’ve driven it, you will be too.
Historic Accommodation
We want you to experience the real feel of Route 66 and you’ll stay in restored historic hotels and motels in some locations. Should you prefer modern hotels we are happy to swap these for you.
Authentic Experience
Route 66 is not about driving on the interstate, it is about taking your time on the original route. We’ll tell you the best way to enjoy the trip by stopping at the best locations, diners and museums
We give back to Route 66
We’re active members of several state Route 66 associations and try to help those businesses which make the trip so special. You can help too by eating in a family run diner instead of a burger chain
