Best Route 66 Tours & Trips
Route 66 is a 2,400-mile highway that runs from Chicago to Los Angeles. Paved in 1926, the route was popular until more direct interstates were completed in the 1980s. Today travelers still road trip down what John Steinbeck called The Mother Road, past historical landmarks through Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California. Grab a bite at Dixie Truckers Home in Illinois that has been serving travelers since 1928. For a bit of history, visit Will Rogers Memorial Museum in Claremore, Oklahoma. Then pass Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo and the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe on the way to the Santa Monica Pier.

Reviews for Route 66 Tours

Booking was straightforward. The free audio app in so many languages is brilliant – my parents used the Japanese audio while I listened to the live English guide. Worked perfectly offline.

As a solo traveler, I liked that the group was small (11 people). Everyone took turns washing dishes after dinner. The guide, Sarah, was a geology student. She explained how the hoodoos at Bryce formed. The hike into the Bryce Amphitheater was steep but she gave us trekking poles for free. The only hiccup was the van's check engine light came on in Moab. The guide got it fixed in 2 hours.

Very organized for a 2 day tour. The itinerary was clear: day 1 drive to Grand Canyon, sunset at Yavapai Point, overnight in Tusayan. Day 2 sunrise at Mather Point, walk the Village historic district, then drive back to Las Vegas via Hoover Dam. The driver let us take photos at the dam. The hotel had free coffee 24 hours. Good.

It was an exciting tour with unique and breathtaking views. It\'s a shame that Antelope Canyon was closed. Our guide Walter was fantastic always available and managed the group very well. Our driver Jose was also fantastic. Super!
