Loved this trip seeing all the amazing collectable items, meeting people who keep the Route 66 tours continuing and what a great tour guide and lovely people. We had a few hiccups with buses but it added to the journey and destination. My husband is an auto buff so he loved every minute of the trip.

great trip, nearly 2 weeks but over too soon!
- The Lone Star State to the French Quarter
Great experience. Everything is big in Texas especially the hospitality.
