Austin leads trips that are not only fun, but interesting as well...And this one was no exception. Our tour of Sun Recording was nostalgic and wonderful, and our visit to the battlefield at Port Hudson was a view into a slice of history that I had never known about. And so much more...Austin is always respectful of his guests and aims to make our experiences the greatest...Well done!

By Tamara H for Route 66 Guided Car Caravans on Oct 12, 2024

We had an amazing time traveling Route 66 with Austin and the group. Accommodations were very comfortable and varied. Enjoyed each of the stops and meeting all of the fine people along the way and getting to know the members of our group better. We liked having plenty of scheduled activities and stops, but also appreciated time on our own. Food was great! We could not have asked for a better tour guide! Austin provided thorough information about the sites we were visiting, suggestions for additional restaurants, and activities we might enjoy on our own. Plus, he had the patience of Job! 🤗

By Larry W for Route 66 Guided Car Caravans on Oct 11, 2024

Great trip, by doing a caravan, we met great people and enjoyed all the stops and driving Route 66. Austin is the greatest tour guide, not only leading us to the the museums and stations and attractions along Route 66 but also letting you know all of the traffic merging ahead of us, coming behind us in our blind spots. All of this while driving the lead car. At every stop he had water and snacks in the back of his van. Food and accommodations were good and Austin took care of any problem with accommodations. Every overnight stay there were plenty of recommendations of where to eat when not part of the tour. We enjoyed the tour so much with Austin that we signed up for a New England tour in 2025 as soon as we got home. Any tour with Two Lane America is highly recommended, you won't be disappointed.
