Historic Route 66 13 nights / 14 days Starts in Chicago and ends in Los Angeles Max 13 persons Small group tour Made for you Immortalised in folklore, film and song, Route 66 remains the iconic symbol of the great American road trip. On this Route 66 tour you'll cross eight states and make a small detour for the biggest sight in the West, the magnificent Grand Canyon. From snow-cones and corndogs, to cowboys, country music and rock 'n' roll - it's classic Americana all the way, as you travel from the heartland to the coast on the world's most famous road. Day 1: Chicago Arrival You've arrived in Chicago, the official start of Route 66. A welcome meeting will be held at 18:00 hrs in your hotel for you to meet your tour leader and fellow travelling companions. If you arrive earlier in the day why not kick off your Route 66 holiday by grabbing a slice of deep-dish pizza before venturing up the Willis Tower, or take to the streets for your very own walking tour along the shores of Lake Michigan. Hotel: Cambria Hotel or similar Day 2: Pontiac - Springfield Visit the Pontiac town murals, a collection of more than 150 artists known as the “Walldogs”. Springfield's favourite son was Abraham Lincoln and you'll pay a visit to the Lincoln Home National Historic Site, the home that he lived in with his wife, Mary Todd Lincoln, from 1844 until 1861 when he became US President. This is also the birthplace of corndogs and drive-thru restaurant service. Hotel: The State House Inn or similar Days 3-4: St Louis Head to the Gateway Arch which commemorate the settlement of America’s West. It was from here that countless pioneers set out to conquer the wild frontier. Stop at iconic Ted Drewes, where you can try a “Concrete”, an extra thick milkshake made from villa frozen custard! Hotel: Drury Plaza Hotel St.Louis at the Arch or similar Day 5: Branson Home to Dolly Parton's Dixie Stampede and considered an alternative version of The Strip, country music is to Branson what gambling is to Las Vegas. With over 50 dinner theatres, shows and other entertainment oddities, Branson is where it's at in Missouri. It unleashes a hefty dose of pure Americana and a wonderful playlist to enjoy it to. Hotel: Grand Plaza Hotel or similar Days 6-7: Oklahoma City With more driveable miles of the “Mother Road” than any other, this state is a mecca for Route 66 fans. You’ll visit the Vintage Iron Motorcycle Museum and the historic Coleman Theatre. Hotel: Sheraton Oklahoma City downtown or similar Day 8: Amarillo Stop by the “official” Route 66 Museum, try BBQ or steak and then head down to the Big Texan Steak Ranch for drinks. Hotel: Drury Inn & Suites or similar Day 9: Albuquerque Your first stop is the roadside attraction of Cadillac Ranch before reaching Midpoint Café, midway between Chicago and Los Angeles. Drive through the Tijeras Canyon and make a stop at Tucumcari Post and Curios, an eccentric souvenir store. Hotel: Nativo Lodge Albuquerque or similar Day 10: El Morro National Monument - Gallup Drive to Inscription Rock to observe Native American petroglyphs. Cross the Continental divide en route to Gallup. Stay at the El Ranch Hotel, a slice of history which counts John Wayne and Katherine Hepburn amongst its guest. Hotel: El Rancho Hotel & Motel or similar Days 11-12: Grand Canyon National Park (South Rim) Stop at Petrified Forest National Park en route to the Grand Canyon, a spectacle not to be missed, especially from a helicopter on an optional flight. Its not on the original Route 66 but so close it would be a shame to pass it by. Hotel: Red Feather Lodge or similar Day 13: Las Vegas The Snow Cap Diner in Seligman makes for a quirky stop. Try your luck on the one- armed bandits or take in a show – stay downtown for captivating old Vegas charm. Hotel: Golden Nugget Hotel or similar Day 14: Las Vegas - Los Angeles On your final day, you have the endless sunshine of California in your sights, following Route 66 across the great Mojave Desert to the city of Los Angeles.
