Texas & The Southwest Self Drive Holidays

Journey through Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico — a region of big skies, bold flavours, desert canyons and vibrant city culture.

Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico form a vast and captivating corner of the American Southwest, where sweeping plains, rugged desert landscapes and vibrant cities blend into one unforgettable road trip region. From the live-music heartbeat of Austin and the historic charm of San Antonio to the Route 66 heritage running through Oklahoma’s small towns, this is a part of the USA rich in culture, flavour and frontier spirit. Prairie skies stretch endlessly across Oklahoma, where classic diners, neon signs and cowboy history create a warm and welcoming atmosphere, while Texas dazzles with its mix of world-class museums, Gulf Coast beaches, rolling Hill Country vineyards and dramatic West Texas scenery.

Cross into New Mexico and the landscape transforms into high desert, red-rock mesas and adobe towns steeped in Native American, Hispanic and Old West traditions. Santa Fe’s art scene, Albuquerque’s festivals, and the cinematic beauty of places like Taos, White Sands and Carlsbad Caverns showcase the state’s diversity. Together, these three states offer a perfect blend of culture, nature and wide-open adventure — from music-filled nights and historic trails to soaring canyons and stargazing skies. A journey through Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico delivers the quintessential Southwest experience, rich in warmth, colour and discovery.

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
