- AAimee· October 9th, 2023Loved the Route 66 tour with John! He was thorough in everything with information about each place as well as ensuring we were ok throughout the trip.

- AAnonymous· October 8th, 2023Tour manager was a bit OTT n I was offended for our driver as he kept calling her "my dear, my darling etc"..He could have simply used her name instead. I'm sure he wouldn't have used any terminology with a male driver... but she was the best driver we ever been on a bus/coach with . 200% satisfaction with Beverley Vargas our driver ... 60% with John Ploszaj. Please tell him to be female respective, or retire from the jobShow moreTrip date: September 2023Review collected by Cosmos

- LSLarry· August 28th, 2018I really liked the fact that this tour covered a big cross section of America ranging from very small country towns right through to some of the biggest cities. I also appreciated the several side excursions that we made away from Route 66. -(eg Las Vegas, Grand Canyon, Branson) This added increased variety to the tour. The tour director (Barbara) was very knowledgeable and quite prepared to travel down a previously unexplored small byway whenever the opportunity arose to do so.Show moreTrip date: July 2018
