Central USA Tours & Trips
Picture yourself taking in Chicago's skyline and deep-dish pizza before hitting Route 66, that iconic highway stretching all the way to Santa Monica. You'll visit the American Jazz Museum in Kansas City and the historic 18th & Vine District for some of the best ribs you'll ever taste. The Midwest's calling.

I've been to a lot of places in the South with Travelling Time and always had a great time so the chance to visit Oklahoma, Texas and New Mexico with them was a "no brainer" for me. Three U.S. States, Route 66 and Buddy Holly, what's not to like? As always the group bonded from day one due to Lynda's ability to make an organised tour feel like a trip with friends. I'm always amazed at how much Travelling Time manage to include for the price on their tours and this one is no different. I won't spoil it by listing everything but you get what's in the itinerary and so much more, fantastic! You won't believe how much there is to see and do in this part of the States until you go, very highly recommended and this won't be my last TT tour.

Our tour manager Haydee was a real gem! Everything was well organized. Our coach was brand new and our driver was excellent. All our places we visited were spectacular and Haydee made it a point to make each stop a special visit.
