What customers say about the Route 66 self-guide tours:
"We just want to thank you so much for what has been a fantastic time for
us. Everything went smoothly and all hotels were great thanks to you. We
saw most of the road and we saw a different side to the US than what we
have seen before.
Your arrangements were first class and we really appreciate the time and
trouble you took to professionally organize a fantastic itinerary. Thank
you so much Zsolt and hopefully we will meet one day."

Route colors:
- Purple: fastest route on highway I-80:
- Red: take this one if you want to see Niagara Falls.
- Green: scenic route, drive through New York instead of Pennsylvania. Take 17 to I-86 west to I-90 back down to Cleveland. It has a whole lot less traffic than I-80 and many stretches of practically nothing, but lots of small towns with character. Choose this option if weather is good. You can drive many miles to see a car.
* Major rental companies, such as National, Avis, Dollar, Alamo DO NOT GUARANTEE model choice. They confirm category, like CONVERTIBLE. You select any convertibles that are parking in the lot. Most of the convertible fleet are Mustangs, so probably you'll have one.
