USA Bound
Getting to and from USA will be your choice. Everyone has their own idea of air travel so we give you a date and time to arrive and depart and then we'll look after everything in between.
​
Transport
You'll be behind the wheel of your own convertible (most likely a Mustang) meaning you're right into the spirit of driving the Mother Road, straight off the bat. You will be guided by Robyn & Paul who have completed the journey several times and in both directions. If at any time you'd like to slip away and catch up with the group later in the day then a GPS with dedicated points of interest preloaded will help keep you on track. You'll also have a VHF radio to stay in contact with the group when travelling together.
​
Accommodation
There will be a huge cross section of accommodation styles from beautifully restored vintage motels of the period such as the Wagon Wheel or Boots Motels through to modern multi-star accommodation in some towns and cities. Overnight stops include Riverside, Las Vegas, Kingman, Williams, Holbrook, Santa Fe, Tucumcari, Amarillo, Carthage, Branson, Cuba, St Louis, Springfield, Bloomington and Chicago.
​
Route
While the premise of Route 66 is travelling from Chicago to Santa Monica or vice versa, there are several highlights worth taking in en route that are strictly not Route 66. Yes, we will be taking in a couple of nights at Las Vegas, as well as Hoover Dam and the Grand Canyon. Likewise we'll shoot down to the less well known entertainment hot spot of Branson and a couple of other highlights en route.
​
Big cities are not a feature of this road trip, we aim to explore the parts of America that provide interaction with her people, providing a taste of what Route 66 was all about.
​
Cost
Our back-to-back R66 (20 nights) adventures are designed to maximise value. Our tours are designed for couples, and include rental car, accommodation, some meals, and incidentals required each day for attractions.
Pre pandemic we had a good handle on the costs per person however, several factors including sky rocketing rental car prices mean prices per couple are US$13,000 per couple/twin share plus whatever air travel you arrange, lunch and dinners. In addition we suggest you budget on US$100-150 for meals per couple per day and the car will use an average of US$35 gas per a day.
Keep in mind that fluctuations in the US$ exchange rate will mean the cost in your local currency will vary.
