Get your kicks on Route 66 as you travel from Chicago through the beating heart of continental America to Los Angeles. Iconic and nostalgic, follow America’s beloved ‘Mother Road’ on a memorable journey of spectacular scenery, famous landmarks and quintessential American cuisine. Stretching 2,448 miles, crossing eight states and three time zones Route 66 was one of the original US highways and played an integral role as the main route for migrants travelling west to California during the Dust Bowl of the 1930s. With sections of the road now protected and numerous landmarks, hotels, diners and signs preserved, today it is possible to live the American dream, experiencing the culture and diversity of this great nation on an epic cross-country road-trip of a lifetime. Although the vast majority of people self-drive Route 66, it is also possible to largely follow the road’s course by rail and we will be happy to advise you on the way this can best be done.
