We know Route 66, and it knows us.

We’re not just selling a trip which we know sells well. Our travel experts know Route 66 and the community extremely well, including the people, motels, businesses, road conditions, side trips and museums. When you book your “Main Street of America” holiday with us, we will ensure you are booking the correct trip for you which includes duration, overnight stops and any side trips.

When you travel along the historic highway, you’ll likely meet people who also know us, such as Jerry McClanahan, renowned Route 66 artist and author of the EZ66 guide you’ll be using (who will be happy to sign your book!) and owners of various historic motels and business too.

We’re active members of various associations

We’re not just another tour operator offering Route 66 holidays. We’re passionate travellers ourselves, who spend a lot of time working with state associations, various groups and communities to keep this historical highway alive.

We have active business memberships with various associations including the Missouri Route 66 Association and the New Mexico Route 66 Association who work to try and obtain historic status of key sites and funding for restoration of Neon signs, buildings and landmarks.

We’re actively contributing to keep it alive

Route 66 has famously been bypassed by the interstate (motorway) which led to the abandonment of towns and businesses. Whilst the old highway has become a bucket-list holiday, with the continued loss of mainstream traffic to the interstates, those old businesses still need as much help as possible to stay operating.

As a business, we should arrange easy-to-book chain operated hotels for our clients... However as a business run by passionate travellers, unless you request otherwise, where possible we will book you into well-restored, clean and safe, well respected historical motels and hotels which survive from the highway's heyday. These are known as "mom ’n’ pop” businesses and we are confident you will enjoy the authentic experience as much, if not more than staying in a modern hotel.

Within your road trip pack, you will also have information on where you can eat and drink or visit during your trip giving you the opportunity to experience the real culture of Route 66 and feel that you too are helping to contribute to these businesses, even if it just eating lunch in an old cafe or buying a t-shirt in a general store.

We’re helping restore the history

Route 66 is fortunate in that groups of passionate people get together to restore or maintain some of the old buildings, bridges and other items which may otherwise be lost through time. Whilst we cannot physically be there to help, we have made various small financial contributions to assist in these restorations and try to help publicise the funding drives where possible.

Buildings like the Painted Desert Trading Post in Arizona, seen by many enthusiasts as one of the “Holy Grail” buildings and the Shamrock Court Motel  in Missouri have both been stabilised and strengthened in the past couple of years. These buildings are part of the history and we cannot let them disintegrate as various other building have.
