The Mother of all RV Road Trips!

Get your kicks on Route 66 on this nostalgic trip across the Mother Road, and explore hidden gems along the way. From Chicago to Santa Monica we get an inside look at classic America. Step back in time with stops featuring classic cars and memorabilia, landmark buildings selling gas, diner food, sodas and shakes, hear the buzz of the classic neon signs outside of historic motels. We reminisce of days past and say good-bye on a farewell sunset dinner at the end of the trail in Santa Monica overlooking the ocean.

  • When we signed up for the tour all we knew was that we were going to Alaska. Adventure Caravans made this trip, for us, a once in a lifetime experience. Everything was taken care of, all we had to do was leave in the morning and be in the next campground by a certain time. We enjoyed every facet of the tour from the log meetings and socials to the tours and our free time. Kudos to the wagon masters and to Penny and Tom. The icing on the cake are the wonderful friends that we made and know we will keep in touch. The camaraderie among the whole group was amazing but the trip left us with memories for a lifetime. Thank you Adventure Caravans.
