    Loved 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. Being dropped off and picked up for the extra excursions was great and felt like we were really cared for.

    Tour 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 job

    I 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.

    Very good tour with lots to see. Tour Guide was a very professional lady who took good care of us and provided a lot of background information. Even if you are not overly interested in Route 66 it is a good way to travel across the US.
