"Talks for the next trip are already underway!"

We have been back just over a week, and I just wanted to email you to say thank you and all at the American road trip company for all of your help and guidance with this trip.

We had a great time and love to explore different parts of the USA, talks for the next trip/location are already underway!

"A 35 year dream come true & in the most wonderful way"

Thank you for helping us make a 35 year dream come true & in the most wonderful way.  The trip from start to finish was everything we had hoped for and more and your ‘Road Trip Pack’ was invaluable and helped guide as in many ways.

I had a feeling from our 1st contact that I had made a good decision and that remained a constant throughout.

The journey was executed to plan and was a journey of superlatives. Kept thinking one leg would let us down but none did.

All together a wonderful, wonderful holiday of a lifetime.  Thank you so much for helping us attain that.

Will be back for more.  San Fran to Vancouver perhaps…

Colin & Elaine, Oct'23

"The pack you sent us was fantastic for my over thinking-over planning partner in crime"

I just wanted to send you an email to say thank you for organising our trip. Everything was so well thought out and prefect!

From the start of our trip with the flights and hiring the car to dropping the car off it was seem-less. The hotels were magnificent and the pack you sent us was fantastic for my over thinking over planning partner in crime.Again, I just wanted to thank you for everything.

Sean, Sept '23

"Such a pleasure from beginning to end"

We have had the most wonderful trip!! It was such a pleasure from beginning to end. We had no problems anywhere. So many surprises every time we came to a new hotel and they where nearly all lovely and special. The amazing things we have seen and the endless beautiful country the USA is.We met so many kind and lovely people. The Americans are always curious to hear where we came from and they are so easy to talk to.

I cannot thank you enough for the splendid organisation Laura, you are and absolute star! Also the pick-up for the car was so easy in Seattle, just one street up from the hotel and return in LA was very easy as well.

Our favorite of all the places was for me Carmel, such a sweet town! I could live there. We rented bikes and drove along the coast. It was gorgeous! In Calistoga we took a wine tour on stand up e-bikes which was great fun.

The upgrade to business class was definitely worth it. It was such a treat and we arrived relaxed and had no jetlag arriving in Vancouver.

All together it has been so very amazing. You are such a good organiser Laura! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

Carla, Sept '23

"We had an unbelievable time"

The road trip you planned is possibly the best holiday we will ever go on! We had an unbelievable time hiking 9,500 ft above see level at the Rockys, followed by a day at the Spa in Glenwood Springs!
At the Arches National Park, we hiked on a ‘primitive trail’…that was an experience! We saw some petroglyphs, beautiful open roads, the Forset Gump road, Mexican Hat, and the 4 Corners National Monument on our way down through Utah towards the Grand Canyon. The Grand Canyon was utterly spectacular, words cannot describe how amazing it is, we saw a sunset and sunrise, hiked along the rim, and had a plane/hummer tour over & around the Canyon!
From there, after being concerned with Storm Hilary, we went to Vegas for a few days relaxing, went to a gun range and saw Hoover Dam before moving through Bishop and into Yosemite…with Tiogo pass possibly the most beautiful road on the trip, we stopped at almost every viewing point! We hiked 14 miles to see Yosemite Falls. Yosemite Village and Vernal Falls – possibly the most breathtaking part of the trip! The next day we went to see some sequoia trees!
Heading into San Fran things became a lot busier, but we had an amazing time touring Alcatraz on the evening tour and watched the Giants at Baseball the day after! We did a bit of shopping in LA, and relaxed around the hotel after an eventful trip – we have both had the time of our lives and cannot thank you enough for all the help with it!
There were only a few things in ‘Hinsight’ that we noticed could’ve been tweaked if we’d have done it again, maybe an extra night at the Rocky’s/Glenwood Springs to reduce the traveling on the first day or so (at one point we ended up on the ‘gravel’ track Highway 1 for 30miles in the dark!). Dropping the car off perhaps the day after we arrived in San Fran, we managed it before the deadline but certainly cut it close and left plenty of time, it was just a logistical shock from the quiet country we had been used to for most of the trip. Those are the only additions from the experience of doing the trip, if we had more days it would have easily solved it but that’s something you or us couldn’t control…in the circumstances, we still had the best time of our lives in the holiday of a lifetime and are already dreaming of another one! We have taken over 1,000 pictures and videos, here are a few from the selection.
Thank you again for all your and the team’s help from all the initial planning and throughout our journey, we will never forget it and have already passed on your details to numerous people who’ve seen our pictures and want to do a road trip themselves!

Olly and Katherine, Sept '23

"A fantastic month of travel"

Highly recommend The American Road Trip Co. We had a fantastic month of travel East Coast to West Coast, a few hiccups at the start (our fault not theirs) and our emails and query’s where responded to very quickly the team were always on hand to answer any questions we had.

The car hire and hotels were brilliant and the road trip pack was fantastically laid out with so much information on things to do at all our different stops. We got to see so much of America thanks to their brilliant knowledge and planning. Special thank you to James who put together our trip and stayed in regular contact when we needed him!

Nicola, Sept ’22

"A proper road trip"

Everything that you arranged was fantastic. The flights, the car the route the comprehensive guide and maps, and the hotels were spot on.
Arriving in a busy Denver area was a bit of a culture shock so we were glad of the relatively short drive to Estes Park. We used our phones and Google maps to negotiate the many interchanges and turns until we were out of the urban area. (We purchased additional roaming abroad from our phone provider which was invaluable).
We really were ‘blown away’(!) by the National Parks you guided us to – we had about the right amount of time to explore them – either arriving early evening and having a walk then a full day thereafter or often spending a morning in one location before moving on in the afternoon.
You picked some great hotels and the National Park stays were exceptional places to stay. The Monument Valley cabin was breathtaking with evening sunset views over the area – we couldn’t believe our luck staying here.
All the roads you suggested we enjoyed – one that stands out is the Highway 128 between Cisco and Moab along the Colorado as it carves through an increasingly deep gorge. It was amazing to be so close to the river there yet so far from it by the time we reached the Grand Canyon.
Anyway, I think this will turn out to be our ‘holiday of a lifetime’- such an experience we are grateful to have had. We thank you very much for this..it was all fantastic – a proper road trip which was a daily delight.

Andrew & Margaret, July '23

"All of the hotels were fabulous and we well situated"

I just wanted to say a huge thanks from us for helping create a fantastic trip. We have had a fantastic time and your planning and choice of places to stay played a huge part in that. All of the hotels were fabulous and we well situated.

I did tag the company in a number of posts and I would certainly recommend you to others.

Christine, July '23

'We had an amazing time!'

I just wanted to thank you for all your work around our recent trip to California.  We had an amazing time!

We loved San Francisco as it was so easy to get about. The wine train in Napa was also a highlight.  The River view hotel there was really good and so well placed.

The section around Lake Tahoe and Yosemite were just stunning.  We took Highway 4 across the mountains where there was still snow banked up from the winter. The road was so scenic we had to make loads of stops to take photos.

We managed to do the Big Sur down to the closure and our stay in Monterey was lovely too, where we had time to do the Aquarium and to visit Carmel.

Santa Barbara was my favourite ‘Seaside’ town, with lots of shops to browse around and a great pier, the hotel there was lovely being right opposite the beach.

The Garland hotel was lovely and the pool area was just what was needed for our last day there. Now to save up for another trip……!

Debbie & Steve, June '23

"We felt really supported during the trip, great updates"

Thanks to all the team who have supported us on our fabulous road trip! We had an amazing time.

The hotels were great, a few standouts, were Monterey,  Yosemite and San Francisco. All the information was was excellent, routes, what to see on route etc. Car hire all excellent. We felt really supported during the trip, great updates.
It had been challenging because of the bad weather so late into the year but you were on it!
It was interesting to experience the US post Covid with many similar problems to us.
The National Parks were breathtaking as was the wildlife in California, Monterey particularly.
I would have no hesitation in recommending you and have been doing to all my friends.

Judith, June '23

"We felt like we were on a movie set the whole time!"

My husband and I have been so pleased with the Artco from A to Z. We initially booked 3 years ago but then covid hit. The booking process was really easy and we decided to tailor the East Coast itinerary as we wanted to go to New Orleans. We had our say in everything from the hotels to the number of nights.

The ARTCo was always present to reply our (numerous) questions, so thank you to Corinne & Christian! Due to covid, we had to postpone the trip but it was stressfree and everything was made clear to us.

Prior to the trip,  we have received the travel folder with all the precious information and bookings. It was all clear and well organised. We came back a few days ago and everything ran smoothly,  we were pleased with the hotels that were booked for us and the locations. We felt like we were on a movie set the whole time! We recommend the Artco 100% and would book again in the blink of an eye!

Lea, August ’22

"ARTCo is the company for you"

If you are thinking of booking an American Road Trip, then ARTCo is the company for you. From my initial conversation with Laura and first vague ideas, we developed a 3 and a half week bespoke trip covering 3300 miles, 13 accommodations, 9 US states, 8 national parks and so much more. All arrangements made by ARTCo worked perfectly and my son and I are already starting to think of an East Coast road trip next year, we’ll be back in touch!

Liz & Matthew, August ’22

"James was incredibly helpful"

We will be back to you next year to book it again, James was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and patient with us while we put the itinerary together and we will certainly recommend your services to others.

Martin & Tracey, August ’22

"We had an amazing time"

Just wanted to say a huge thanks for helping to organise our trip last month. We had an amazing time and will be sure to contact again when we are looking to do another road trip in the future!

Fraser, July’22

"Personal and prompt throughout"

We had an absolutely incredible holiday organised for us! We did the national park route starting at the Grand Canyon and finishing in Yellowstone. ARTCo were great at tailoring the trip to exactly what we wanted and communication was personal and prompt throughout. Thank you for such a great experience!

Helen, July ‘ 22

"All went perfectly"

Thank you for organising our trip, you were faultless and it all went perfectly! Couldn’t recommend The American Road Trip Company enough!!

Daisy, July ’22

"Attention to detail was excellent"

I just wanted to thank you all for a great holiday! The hotels, route, relocation, information and attention to detail was excellent and took the pressure off us. We thoroughly enjoyed the trip and will definitely recommend you to family and friends and will get back in touch should we ever decide on another American road trip.

Lorraine, July ’22

"We had the best time"

I’d just like to thank you for putting together a wonderful holiday for Bex and myself. We had the best time over in the States.

Dan & Becky, June ’22

"Would certainly recommend"

Thanks again to the American Road Trip Company for putting together the package for us. Would certainly recommend them to anyone else planning a US road trip.

Paul & Gill, June ’22

"Most amazing trip ever"

Where do I start! From the moment I contacted American Road Trip Company I had their full attention. My plan was to do a Pacific coast highway trip in USA and ended up covering 5 states and hundreds of wonderful miles of just pure stunning scenery. The amount of planning and changes we did and nothing was too much trouble.

We managed to fit in Zion NP, Bryce NP, Lake Powell, Monument valley, Grand Canyon, Vegas, Death Valley, Mammoth lakes, Yosemite, Sequoia NP, Carmel and San Fran.

It was truly epic! No hiccups at all and everything with check ins and car hire went without a hitch. Even things like late check out for our last day was thought of.

All of the advice and excursion ideas were amazing and we managed to hike in some wonderful places. We rafted, hiked, cycled and just absorbed all the natural beauty those places had to offer.

The cool little book of plans that was sent to us was so helpful and helped us plan for the following day. It was our “bible” .

We have already made contact regarding another booking and will def use again. Thank you everyone at ARTCO!! Most amazing trip ever.

 

Sandra, June ’22

"I’m not sure how we would have done it without you"

I just wanted to drop you a line to say a massive thank you to you and all your team . We have just returned from our delayed  trip and I must say, we had the most amazing time . All the information you sent us including different routes and things to see along the way were invaluable . All the hotels were brilliant and we didn’t have to complain once ! I’m not sure how we would have done it without you so a massive thank you to you all.

Verity and Tony, June ’22

"It really was a trip of a lifetime"

Just wanted to thank you for everything you did in arranging our road trip from San Francisco to Vegas. From the very first conversation we had your advice has been invaluable. The Ford Mustang convertible you recommended was great to drive. The hotels were great choices and we liked all of them in their own ways. The travelling time between hotels was perfect and it goes without saying that the folder with all hotel details and places to visit was invaluable. Once again thank you for all you did – it really was a trip of a lifetime and we loved it.

Ian & Nicky, June ’22

"Everyday had something special and memorable"

Thank you for organising such a wonderful holiday, everyday had something special and memorable, we had a fantastic time. Your understanding of exactly what we wanted from the start was perfect and the calls to make sure we were happy with the package and the traveling tips were very much appreciated.  We met another couple in Lone Pine who’d booked with you too, and like us, they were singing your praises!  They were carrying the same folder and we had matching Mustangs! And please don’t ask us what our favourite part was, I don’t think we could decide, it was all memorable!

Nick & Linda, June’22

"Arrangements worked like clockwork"

Many thanks to Laura and the team at ARTCo for delivering a fabulous holiday for us. This was based around the American Music Tour but was tailored to our specific requirements and timings. The arrangements worked like clockwork and the attention to detail was appreciated. We enjoyed the detailed itinerary and daily recommendations, the hotels were central when requested and ‘out of the ordinary’ at other times. All were of an excellent standard and fulfilled our demands. One of the most memorable ones was The Shack Up Inn. “The Ritz it ain’t” but I will never forget the experience. I would thoroughly recommend ART to others and would love to travel with them again. 

J.U., June ’22

"Wishing we had gone for longer!"

We are home now after the most amazing trip, wishing we had gone for longer! Just wanted to drop a message to say thank you so much for all your help and planning it was perfect not one complaint. Hotels were all positioned perfectly. Couldn’t have done it without your help. The booklet was also really handy and much appreciated.

Lucy, June ’22

"What you do is incredible"

We are just back from the amazing adventure. What you do is incredible – you helped create a fabulous holiday! Thank you so much. We are already planning our next American adventure and will most certainly be booking via ARTCo – there really is no better company!

Daniela & Matt, June ’22

"Our book of loveliness"

We had an absolutely amazing trip organised by the American Road Trip Company. They booked us a 3 week bespoke package from Las Vegas to Portland, Oregon. Their knowledge was fantastic, hotels were lovely and the book they provide you with ahead of your trip was brilliant – we referred to it as our book of loveliness!! Would highly recommend them, big shout out to Corinne who we dealt with from start to finish. We will be back – we have already looked at Canada or Florida for next year on the website and spread the word to family and friends.

Sarah, June ’22

"One of the very best things we’ve ever done"

Matt and I got back last night and wanted to say a huge thank you for everything that you did to make our honeymoon so incredible. The trip was one of the very best things we’ve ever done – organised to perfection – and everything went really smoothly with all of our car hire and hotels. The pack you sent was also amazing and ensured we didn’t miss out on the best scenic routes and enjoyed all of the sights and experiences along the way.

Given we both have a lot on our plates with work and baby, it’s been amazing to have the support in planning such a big trip. It really was the honeymoon of dreams, and we can’t thank you enough for all of your help, support and flexibility.

We will definitely be recommending you to everyone we know and hope to use you guys again in the future!

Jodie, May ’22

"We will never forget this trip"

We returned from our LA to New Orleans Road trip on Saturday and just wanted say thank you again for organising everything.  The hotels were amazing.  We saw so much!  The folder with everything in it was great.  Lots of tips and advice.  Great to know how long it was to each place and alternative routes.  Lots of ideas for stopping along the way,  not that we had a lot of time for that as we were on a very tight schedule.  

We will never forget this trip.  Thanks again to you and the team at ARTC. Best wishes and keep doing what you’re doing!

Kay, May ’22

"You've made an old petrol head very happy"

Had to email you as you know we are currently on our road trip you did for us just to say i drove ca 62 and its the best road in the world you made an old petrol head very happy we are at the view in monument Valley as I write this the cabin is probably the best place we have ever been with the view of the mittens.  Thank you so much in making our trip this brilliant.

Martyn, April ‘ 22

"We saw bears and whales"

We all want to thank you for arranging the most memorable holiday ever! From the hotels to the car hire to the locations, everything was flawless. The Road trip book got the nickname of “the bible!” The information was accurate down to the last detail. Thank you also for your communication during the trip; a lot of the time, my phone wasn’t working, but we could still read messages. We hiked in the mountains, my son skied in Whistler, we saw bears and whales, and experienced the most breath-taking scenery. Thank you so much! 

Pete, April ’22

"Your advice, knowledge and patience was invaluable"

We just want to say a great big thank you for organising our amazing trip to California! What an experience from cities to mountains to desert,  beaches, the craziness of Vegas and the amazing drive along Highway 1; 7 hotels and 1800 miles, all in 14 days! Your advice, knowledge and patience was invaluable and we would not hesitate in recommending ART Company to anybody thinking of a road trip to the USA. We will definitely come back to you to organise our future trips – the East coast and then again for our Route 66 trip, although I’ll let David ( and you!) recover from this one first!

Rose and David, April ’22

"It really is the little things and the customer service that makes them stand out"

Unfortunately our holiday was cancelled due to the first lockdown and with less than 24 hours until we were due to fly! NIGHTMARE…… or so we thought. We had constant contact with Corinne who was extremely helpful throughout the entire process. We also had Christian the md contact us via phone on a Sunday evening helping talk us through what happens and where we stood and what our options were, honestly this call alone calmed us both down from our panic stations. It really is the little things and the customer service that makes them stand out no question or querie is too much and they will always get back to you quickly. Unfortunately we have not been able to travel yet but rest assured as soon as we can Corinne will be my first contact! Thank you so much for all you have done for us guys. See you soon!

Kyle

"We’ve been so impressed with everything"

Thanks very much for all your support, guidance and patience in putting this trip together for us. We’ve been so impressed with everything so far and are very much looking forward to what should be a wonderful trip.

Patrick

"We were so impressed"

So pleased with the brilliant service we received from The American Road Trip Company. We were able to add to their itineraries, then tweak so we went to particular places/hotels until we were happy. Then before we departed, an amazing guide dropped through our letterbox which contains all the booking information for flights, car & hotels, details of every leg of the journey and recommendations for stop-offs and what to do in each place as well as tips for roadtripping and a guide to driving in the US (very useful!). The cherry on the cake was when there were major issues with BA on our morning of take off, they even phoned to inform us & reassure/check things were ok. We spent 3 weeks road-tripping around California, Arizona and Nevada and had the most incredible time. We were so impressed with the hotels they booked: quirky ones you wouldn’t necessarily book yourself but which they’ve stayed in & loved. Highly recommend using them if you’re thinking of doing an American roadtrip. We would definitely book with them again – stress-free holidaying. Thank you ????

Jo

"ARTCo couldn’t have been anymore flexible"

If you want to travel across America, then you have to use this company. Recently just come back from a road trip across the states booked through ARTCO. Our trip lasted 3 weeks and started in Chicago going all the way south to New Orleans, via Nashville and Memphis, then to Texas with a flight over to Vegas and ending in LA.  The company made the trip bespoke to our needs and they couldn’t have been anymore flexible in their work. A massive thank you to Amy for arranging everything and we didn’t encounter a single hiccup on the way. The price paid between me and two other friends was more than reasonable. I’ll most definitely be using them again when exploring the east coast. Thank you for arranging such an unforgettable experience.

 

Thomas

"From start to finish, everything was perfect."

Hope you’re well. We just wanted to pop you an email to say a MASSIVE thank you for organising our trip!  We arrived home from America yesterday after the most incredible journey! From start to finish, everything was perfect. Every hotel was fabulous, and locations spot on! The pack we received before we went was very helpful and we could have not done without it. All the suggested routes and recommendations were fab. We visited as many suggestions we possibly could. 

We cannot thank you enough! We have recommended you guys countless times to friends, family and fellow roadtrippers we met on route & we can’t wait to book our next adventure with you! 

Zoe & Tristan

"The pack sent out before leaving us awesome and was a bible for us."

My husband and I have recently returned from our ARTCo trip. 3 weeks, Route 66. I just wanted to send a quick email to say what a fantastic job your company did. ARTCo was brilliant in suggesting ideas when we said we wanted to add extra time to our trip, and the suggestions she made were spot on. I’ve used other road trip companies before (for our Pacific Highway trip), but now will be coming straight to ARTCo. The pack sent out before leaving us awesome and was a bible for us. We’d researched made lots of plans, but it was all there in the pack.

Hopefully, we can save a little quicker and it won’t be long before we can book another road trip with you.

 

Jane & Jon

"The whole booking process was completely stress free"

My husband and I booked through this company for our Honeymoon and we do not have any regrets whatsoever! They were incredibly helpful and the whole booking process was completely stress free (which was what we needed whilst planning a wedding!). We’d never been to America before so needed a bit of help, they were so experienced and knew all the best places to visit in California. Before our travels, we received a pack which included all the info for our hotels, flights, car etc. and also tons of recommendations of places to see/visit and best routes to take which was so useful! All in all, our trip was absolutely perfect and we could not recommend this company more! ????

Sian

"The binder that you made up for us was invaluable"

We had an absolutely fantastic time and all the arrangements worked like clockwork.  The hotels were great especially the Kimptons in DC and Baltimore. There were so many memories but highlights include getting stuck in a Amish cart and horse traffic jam, eating way too many pancakes with syrup, watching arena football in Washington, hiking up to the top of the Skyland mountain and watching the sunset over the Shenandoah Valley, hiring bikes to cycle the George Washington Highway to Mount Vernon… too many wonderful things to recount. 

The binder that you made up for us was invaluable as were the maps and tips for places to visit. We made use of both the direct routes and some of the indirect ones too and managed to cover 1300 miles in the 10 days we had the car.  It felt like we had seen masses of the country although it was only a tiny part of it on the map. Thanks so much – we’ll definitely be looking to do another road trip in the US so we’ll no doubt be in touch again in the future.

Sarah

"It was just the best."

I just wanted to tell you that we had the most amazing holiday. We all loved it and felt we had a long holiday. All locations were very different and the kids had such an amazing experience. Anyway I just wanted to say a massive thank you and have recommended your company. It was just the best.

Teena

"...it was magical!"

This is just a quick email to let you know that we had a wonderful time on our recent trip to Washington and Oregon. We were especially impressed by the stunning National Parks, the amazing beaches and the wildlife. Seattle is now officially my favourite city!  All the accommodation you arranged for us was perfect and very comfortable. We were treated so well and we ate a lot! Thank you so much!

We’re so glad we booked this amazing trip with you. Thank you so much for all you help, it was magical!

Marisa

"It makes it so much easier knowing that someone is there to support you"

Just returned from 19 nights in the US. Two weeks driving from Arizona to LA via Grand Canyon, Las Vegas, Yosemite, San Francisco and Monterey and then flew to New York for 4 nights. It was truly the holiday of a lifetime and we had an amazing time. It was all arranged by ARTCO who were excellent and booked all the hotels, flights and car hire. The hotels were a great mix of 4* hotels, motels and cosy cabins depending on where we were staying and we loved every moment of our trip. Thanks so much to Corinne and Christian for their help and advice with everything. It makes it so much easier knowing that someone is there to support you rather than trying to do it all ourselves. Would highly recommend and will definitely book another trip in the future.

Catherine

"how pleasurable it has been to deal with a company that was not pushy for the sale"

I would just like to say a very big thank you to ARTCo for all their advice on flights, routes, hotels and attractions – it’s greatly appreciated.  

I must also say how pleasurable it has been to deal with a company that was not pushy for the sale, but a company that put real effort into the planning of our bespoke trip as the overwhelming priority for us the customer.  

Justin

"Your experience was apparent in how smoothly everything ran"

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for all your hard work, the locations and accommodation were amazing and your experience was apparent in how smoothly everything ran, we will definitely be back in the next few years, we are thinking west coast next!

Kate

"An amazing road trip"

Just a quick email to thank you for organising our holiday, we got back last Friday and had amazing time!!! We really needed another 12 days out there!!! All the places & hotels were fantastic, can’t wait to go again!!

Appreciate all you did for us and will use you again in future, once I’ve saved some money up!!!! & recommend you to everyone, it was an amazing road trip!!!

Simon

"All your endeavours made it such a smooth and enjoyable holiday."

It’s been a little while now since we returned from our 5 week trip to the USA. I still can’t believe we actually went – it was such a fabulous experience and we had such a good time. I wanted to thank you and all your colleagues at ARTCo for making it what it was, we had no issues with accommodation at all and all your endeavours made it such a smooth and enjoyable holiday.

Roger

"It is a testament to you company that everything was so well planned out (clearly from experience)"

I just wanted to send an email thanking you for arranging my fantastic trip! I had never been on such a long trip in both of distance and time before and can only say that every part of it was wonderful in such different ways. It is a testament to you company that everything was so well planned out (clearly from experience) that I only had to focus on enjoying the sights, knowing that everything else was sorted out. Everything from the wonderful adventure booklet that you put together along with the helpful emails made the trip so much less stressful. I have thousands of pictures and videos of the adventure which will allow me to remember such a superb journey.

 

Oliver

"Five star service. Well done."

On behalf of Lucy and myself we would like to thank you for arranging a great trip for us.

 We were very impressed by ARTCo and the way that both of you responded so quickly to all queries we had and in particular the fires in Yosemite.

 We would have no hesitation in recommending you to any friends who we’re planning a similar trip.

 Five star service. Well done.

 

Mike & Lucy

LOVED IT!!!

We just wanted to let you know we just got back from our roadtrip and really LOVED IT!!! 

And thank you so much for all your help making this trip happen! You really did a wonderful job!!! We are hoping to do another roadtrip, in maybe a year or so and will definitely get back to you when we have more of an idea where we would like to go to exactly.

Margriet & Jacob

"It's been great and it wouldn’t have been otherwise without your help!"

We just got back from our fabulous California road trip and I wanted to thank you for the amazing job you have done! We deeply enjoyed every route and suggestion…it has been great and it wouldn’t have been otherwise without your help! 

I will be very happy to recommend your company to everyone who is thinking to undertake the same experience and looking forward to use your services in the future for the next US road trip!

Maela & Conor

"The additional sights and routes were all great"

The additional sights and routes were all great and we managed to do alot of the things suggested – think we all need another holiday! Thank you once again and I will definitely recommend ARTCO to everyone and we will be sure to use you again – the kids are already planning the next road trip.

Rachel

"A fantastic experience that none of us will ever forget"

We have just returned from our two week road trip – a fantastic experience that none of us will ever forget. Thank you so much for arranging it all for us. The hotel choices were fabulous – great locations and all different – all enjoyed.

Kay

"You listened to our brief and came up with the perfect itinerary"

Thank you so, much for such an amazing holiday, we have just returned from our California road trip and we all agree it was the best holiday we have ever had. You listened to our brief and came up with the perfect itinerary and choose the right mix of hotels for our needs in fabulous locations. The travel pack was full of info and useful maps to send us on our way, we set off with some trepidation, but no need to worry everything went perfectly. We are sad it’s over but we will be contacting you very soon to plan and book next years holiday, cannot wait to start the engines again.

Exceeded expectations in every way

We have just got back from our Road Trip.  I have to say, it was the most amazing holiday we have ever been on, and exceeded expectations in every way.  Thank you so much for everything that you did for us, it was a wonderful experience and we have already recommended you to all our family and friends. Thank you again for helping us to make this a lifetime experience!

Mark & Emma

"This holiday is going to be dream come true."

We received our itinerary pack today, Wow, it is fantastic, a really beautiful touch. Thank you for all of your help since Christmas. I am sure this holiday is going to be dream come true. Thank you again!

"Yosemite might just be the most beautiful place on Earth"

Firstly I don’t even know where to start but we just wanted to thank you and Artco for all the work you did to create such a wonderful trip for our honeymoon to California. We had the best three weeks of our lives! Every detail and hotel was well thought out and well planned, we didn’t have one single issue whilst we were away… it really could not have gone any smoother.

We loved the driving and stopping off along all the roads and looking at all the little towns and landmarks along the way, when we have been telling people all the things we have done and seen, they can’t believe how much we managed to fit in to one trip! We had a brand new Mustang from Alamo, only 4 miles on the clock when we collected it so that was pretty special – we returned it with just shy of 3000!! We did think about driving around the block a few times so it would tick over but LAX hasn’t got the scenery we had become accustomed to!

I think whilst everything was amazing in its own right we think our favourite part had to be the drive from Lone Pine to Tahoe and then to Yosemite. That part of California is just really special, Yosemite might just be the most beautiful place on Earth. Thank you again, for everything!

"All four of us had the time of our lives"

It’s been a while since we returned from our extraordinary trip to California and I’ve been meaning to write to say thanks for arranging it so perfectly. All four of us had the time of our lives. Every stop was great, the hotels you chose for us were fantastic, the routes you suggested were spot on. All in all, it really was a trip of a lifetime that we will never forget. Thanks so much for all of the work you did to make a whole family very happy! We’re already planning the next one in our heads. I will definitely be recommending your company to others (in fact I already have). All the very best.

Sam & Anna

"We visited places we never thought we’d get the chance to"

I just wanted to say how amazing our road trip was – it really was incredible and we made so many memories. We visited places we never thought we’d get the chance to and we have got the road trip bug! It was the small things like driving through little Towns off the beaten track and stopping off to explore random places that made the trip for us. Thank you for the incredible customer service; everything ran smoothly from start to finish and the itinerary was perfect for us. Those Peabody ducks!! We are already looking at our next trip next year and will be in touch later this year for your help. Classic Northwest with a few tweaks we think. Exciting!

Heather

"How pleased we’ve been with the whole experience with ARTCO from start to finish"

Just wanted to say again how pleased we’ve been with the whole experience with ARTCO from start to finish, and particularly with your help. We had such a wonderful holiday, great hotels and travel itinerary, and the stress was taking out of it by booking with yourselves. We won’t hesitate to book with you again and recommend you to others.

Emma & Phil

"The itinerary pack was our bible"

I admit that I was initially in two minds about using a travel agent to plan a trip as we’d previously organised holidays ourselves but I am so glad we did. We had such a wonderful time and I know that had we done it ourselves, we wouldn’t have felt so secure in our plans and we’d certainly have missed out on some of the amazing accommodation and side trips. Not just that but the snippets of advice in the planning stage were so welcome. The itinerary pack was our bible on the trip and being able to keep it as a memento of our holiday is brilliant. Finally, I wanted to thank both you and Corinne for getting in touch while we were away to discuss the Napa fires and the issue with the hotel booking in Lake Powell. Having someone to discuss these things with is invaluable – you were able to call us and say ‘this is the potential problem but we’ve solved it in these ways’. Our time away went so quickly considering it was a month but it was exactly as we’d wanted it. Thank you so much. We will be recommending you to all friends and family.

"The best holiday we’ve been on"

I just wanted to say a long overdue thank you for organising the road trip. We got the convertible Mustang that we wanted from the car rental for our trip and the whole 3 weeks went really well, we had a fantastic time – it has to be the best holiday we’ve been on. The car was briliant and all the places we stayed were great. In particular, our stay at Silver Spur Ranch was the standout. We had the whole place to ourselves and had a great time with Jay and the team there. We even ended up going round the bars in Bandera with Jay one afternoon/evening. My other particular highlight was horse riding through Monument Valley at dawn – it was spectacular and our Navajo guide was excellent and made the 3hrs of riding good fun! The folder that you guys prepare for the trip was really useful. It was great having a couple of different options on some of the driving routes, and we planned each day out using the suggestions in the folder – there was a few things there which we wouldn’t have done if we’d just followed the guide books etc. We’re already planning our next trip (we want to drive up the West Coast from LA to Vancouver – I lived in Portland, OR for a year so it will be great revisiting a few old haunts). Unfortuantely, it probably won’t be for a couple of years until we’re able to do that. When we are ready though I will be in touch. Also, we would definitely recommend ARTCO to anyone looking to do a US roadtrip.

Tom

"We had the most amazing time"

Just to say a MASSIVE thank you for organising our US holiday!

We had the most amazing time, and safe to say our best holiday! I’m recommending you to everyone!

Jenna & Nick

"We cannot fault a single thing"

I just wanted to email to let you know that we had a truly fantastic holiday. Everything ran so smoothly and we cannot speak more highly of the American Roadtrip Company. Everything you organised for us was brilliant and we cannot fault a single thing.

Amy

"Without your great work, advice and recommendations the trip would have been nowhere near as enjoyable"

I just wanted to drop you an email to say once again thank you very much for organising our road trip.

The whole experience was amazing and we loved every minute of it (ok, well apart from driving from Memphis to Natchez through Storm Harvey!!).

Without your great work, advice and recommendations the trip would have been nowhere near as enjoyable so a huge thank you from all of us and we greatly appreciate all that you did for us.

Literally everything from the route through to the hotels were brilliant and we couldn’t have asked for more.

I will certainly be recommending you to anyone considering a trip in the future and if you have anywhere that I can leave positive reviews like TripAdvisor/Facebook etc then please let me know and I will happily do so. In the meantime I wish you well and hopefully I will be in touch in the future for another amazing trip!!

Paul

"If ever there was a reason to have travel agents it’s a flight cancellation and you guys just sorted things out!"

I just wanted to drop you a line to thank you so much for arranging a fabulous holiday for us.

About this time last year we decided we wanted to go to the West Coast and so as is often the case I did nothing about it! As Christmas came and went I started to talk to travel agents I had used in the past and it became clear they were not going to think outside the box and were stuck with Pre determined trips.

By the power of google I found your company. I remember still ringing you on a Saturday morning trying to explain what we wanted to do. You listened, didn’t say no and came back to us with your thoughts. You simply “got us” and what we wanted! Over the next few days you helped us craft a trip to take into account our particular demands and needs and never once did anything other than help!!

Booking completed your fabulous pack arrived and we all enjoyed reading up on our trip and took the chance  to book various tickets in advance for things we wanted to do. We went to a six flags park in San Francisco, toured Alcatraz, went whale and dolphin watching in Monterey and enjoyed a VIP experience at Universal Studios. To end the trip on a high we flew to the Grand Canyon and had a champagne pic nic in the canyon.

Each hotel you chose met our needs and the drives were all manageable. Being a typical boy I upgraded the car at the rental desk, but truth be known the car you booked was more than perfect!!

On our penultimate day when BA cancelled our flight home, your colleague was a super star and sorted out new flights and changed our rental car return and Heathrow parking. If ever there was a reason to have travel agents it’s a flight cancellation and you guys just sorted things out!

We had the holiday of a life time and can only say thank you for your help. It doesn’t seem enough, but it was just superb.

We will probably do a beach holiday next summer but might aim to hit the East Coast the year after and we will definitely be in touch then. Thank you again for everything,

Chris, Daisy & Oliver

"Every day was a REAL adventure."

Our holiday was amazing and we wanted to thank you for the well-orchestrated trip that you put together for us. We followed your routes and the maps were really useful especially highlighted with the suggested routes. Every day was a REAL adventure. We particularly took heed of the points of interest that you suggested for all of the journeys and we tried to carry out as many of them as we could. We also came off-piste a few times too, which meant we came across some really cool discoveries of our own! The hotels you chose for us were all of a really high standard, clean and comfy. All in all, we really did have a super time, and would definitely use your expertise again and have no hesitation in  recommending you to anyone else hoping to road trip USA. THANK YOU!

"Absolutely everything was organised perfectly"

We have just returned from the holiday of a lifetime, three and a half weeks driving from Portland all the way down to Los Angeles. We got to see incredible sights along the way such as the coastal redwoods, crater lake national park, Zion canyon and even some zebra at Hearst Castle. Everything was beautiful and the recommended routes were incredibly scenic.

Our contact at ARTCo, Corinne, put our experience and requirements at the front of her mind when planning our trip for us. We told her what we wanted to see and they filled in the gaps in between and even suggesting different options for us. Absolutely everything was organised perfectly. As we are a couple fresh out of University our budget was slightly more limited, and Corinne went above and beyond to find deals and alternatives that still let us do exactly what we wanted without compromise. They put us in wonderful hotels in the best locations so we could get the most from our experience (like Hotel G in San Francisco which was walking distance from Chinatown, the Painted Ladies, the High Fashion shops and Golden Gate Park). Although we went for lower star hotels for budget reasons, our hotels were always in safe areas and were a pleasure to stay in.

We chopped and changed a lot of the standard trip model that we’d chosen in order to see the things we really wanted to see. Nothing was too much trouble and our agent took the time to develop and make a personalised route that suited the sights we wanted to see and our timescale.

We received a lovely personalised itinerary pack which was filled with all our trip details as well as recommended sites and routes to make the most of the trip, and even some helpful notes on driving and tipping in the USA. Everything went according to plan and we had no problems checking into hotels or picking up/dropping off the car or catching flights. Our flights were with a very good airline (Delta), which meant the 12+ hour travel time flew by.

Thanks to ARTCo, the trip was perfect and we are already planning our next one. Cannot recommend this company enough for any Brits (or anyone else!) thinking to go on a classic USA roadtrip holiday.

Thank you ARTCo, and a special thank you to Corinne.

Mark & Alex

"It was everything we wanted it to be and more"

The four of us have just arrived home from a fantastic trip to the USA.

It was everything we wanted it to be and more; we managed to fit in all our priorities – cycling the Golden gate, LA by La La Land locations, Grand Canyon, Death Valley and Yosemite. But the trip was so much more than that; the best things were the surprise discoveries along the way, the roads that we drove through some fantastic scenery, the people we met who were invariably friendly and incredibly helpful, and of course the weather – 19 days of sun and no fog in SF!

Thank you so much for all your work in putting this together; everything went incredibly smoothly, the hotels were great and the Chevy Tahoe (aka Butch) was ideal – with teenagers we needed the space!

I would absolutely recommend ARTCo to anyone who was planning a USA Road Trip and who, like us, felt slightly daunted trying to put it together. Liz and I are already discussing where next!

Tim

"Thank you for keeping us up to date whilst we were on the road too."

Just back from our fantastic holiday that you helped to organise. All went according to plan with no hiccups at all. All hotels, inns etc that you recommended were spot on. Thank you for keeping us up to date whilst we were on the road too.

Will definitely recommend your services. Until the next trip…

Mark

"The whole trip was just perfect and couldn’t have gone smoother"

The whole trip was just perfect and couldn’t have gone smoother – and nice pick on the hotel in Vegas! The Aria Hotel was just amazing and unlike anywhere we’ve stayed before. I think Zion was Robin’s favourite and Yellowstone/Grand Canyon were mine. We’re already itching to go on our next trip, so we’ll no doubt be in touch again potentially for another one in 2019

Lucy

"We packed a huge amount into our two weeks and really got the most out of our holiday"

Just a quick note to say ‘thank you’ very much for the trip that you planned for us and the additional support given to us whilst we were in the USA.

All our hotels were in great locations, which really helped us get the most out of our time.  The hotel rooms and facilities were great – we had a fantastic holiday and built lots of great memories!

Your personalised pack helped us tremendously in planning each leg of the journey, we feel that we packed a huge amount into our two weeks and really got the most out of our holiday.

Finally, thanks once again to Laura who managed a ‘live’ issue with the car hire for us whilst we were in the US.

Julie

"We're so grateful for all of the work you put in to make our trip a success"

WOW!!  What an amazing adventure we have just had! We returned on Sunday after our trip of a life time; we’re so glad that we took photos and wrote a diary as it’s hard to put into words what a super time we had!  California surpassed our expectations totally and we’re so grateful for all of the work you put in to make our trip a success.  We commented on so many occasions how easy everything was; the highlighted map, the sightseeing and restaurant suggestions in the folder and the guidebook really did make for a fun and seamless holiday – THANK  YOU!!!

Gemma

"We are so impressed with the presentation and packaging of the tour information"

The travel box arrived yesterday – we are so impressed with the presentation and packaging of the tour information – it will be a delight to use and extremely convenient. We shall be booking our next holiday soon!

Jenny

"A really nice touch!!"

I have been meaning to email since we got back but it’s been a busy couple of weeks. Just wanted to say we had such a great time on our trip!!! Your suggestions were great!!! And the itinerary pack you sent was soooooo good. Loved the box and everything inside. Was a really nice touch!!

Emmy

"The holiday was amazing, we managed to get a Mustang!!!"

I’m Back!!!! The holiday was amazing, we managed to get a Mustang!!! Thank you for everything you guys are amazing. Just having a look at next years plan, I’m thinking Vegas and Grand Canyon!!!

Nathan

"We had over two weeks of highlights!"

We just wanted to thank you so much for organising such a wonderful trip for us.  It really was a trip of a lifetime, with so many amazing things to see each day.  Each day would have been a highlight of a normal holiday, but we had over two weeks of highlights! Everything ran really smoothly and the hotels you picked and the number of nights at each one was perfect, we cannot fault your organisational skills.  We sat down each evening and went through the next day’s journey so your book was really useful.

Jenny & Steve

"We really did have a ball on our trip"

We really did have a ball on our trip – walking into the Grand Canyon (and back up), walking across the Golden Gate Bridge (we saw a whale in the Bay) and just Texas as a whole were some of our highlights. Expect another call about a Texas trip soon.

Ruth

"There was no way we were booking our holiday with anyone but yourselves."

I wanted to take a few minutes and shoot you a quick email on our recent holiday with yourselves. We dealt with Corinne for the planning / booking and from the outset she was an absolute diamond! We were quite picky with some of the things we wanted; having started with one of your Californian “standard” trips, we then ended up chopping and changing this quite a lot to suit our wants. The whole way through Corinne was accommodating, superbly knowledgeable and resourceful and extremely quick with her turnarounds of quotes etc. She consistently under-promised and over-delivered which I think is a fantastic characteristic to have within your field; one which we hadn’t really experienced until dealing with ARTCo., and Corinne. She also did a fantastic job of listening to what we wanted, which on the face of it sounds quite obligatory but was a refreshing change to some of the other people and companies we’d dealt with up until that point. Once we’d dealt with Corinne, there was no way we were booking our holiday with anyone but yourselves. As a side-note, your company was fantastic with the whole BA issue of getting home, and I may have even spoken to yourself when it was late at night on Saturday in the UK and we were in our hotel wondering what to do. Corinne again had even gone above-and-beyond and emailed us with updates while she was in Texas on a trip herself. I just wanted to take a minute to thank you and ARTCo. for an amazing trip, and assure you we will 100% be returning to you for our next U.S adventure in the future.

Chris

"Hands down, the best two weeks of my life!"

Hands down, the best two weeks of my life!

Thank you so much, you will definitely be hearing from us again!

Ellie

"The days with the long drives weren’t as bad as we had anticipated"

Just a quick note to say a huge thank you to you and the ARTCo team for helping us with our recent road trip in California. It was just amazing and everyone had a great time. We got to visit some wonderful places and saw some breathtaking scenery. The days with the long drives weren’t as bad as we had anticipated and the locations of all the hotels were just perfect. So thank you once again and hopefully we’ll be back for our next adventure.

Chris

"I have been incredibly impressed with your service throughout the whole process"

I just wanted to send a note to say thank you SO much for your support in planning our road trip. We had such a fantastic time, I am sure I will be in touch again before long to plan the next trip. I have been incredibly impressed with your service throughout the whole process and would highly recommend you to any friends looking for a trip.

Faye

"We immediately felt more at ease that someone was looking after us incase something went wrong."

Thank you for all your help with our trip. We had the most amazing time and I really appreciate your help organising it and making sure it was perfect. The hotels were lovely (especially The Line in LA – so cool!) and when you called us during the Lake Tahoe snowstorm we immediately felt more at ease that someone was looking after us incase something went wrong. Along the way we told numerous people about your company and how easy you made it all, and I’d recommend you to anyone thinking of doing a similar thing to us.

Jon

"Beyond our expectations in every case"

We returned from a wonderful honeymoon last night and I would like to express my great thanks to you and your colleagues for your excellent suggestions, organisation and the fantastic road trip package materials which really helped us along the way.  Your work really took much effort out of our hands, leaving us to enjoy ourselves. We were delighted with the route, which gave us fantastic drives, vistas and opportunities to explore, and with all our accommodation, which was beyond our expectations in every case.  It is difficult to pick a highlight because we had a great time throughout. We will certainly recommend the American Road Trip Company and will be in touch for our next road trip. Thank you once again.

John & Hermione

"I don’t know how to put it into words how grateful we are."

It has been some time since we got back of our holiday now but I just want to say a massive thank you. Tony and I had the best time. It was everything we dreamed of and more. We did so many things that we didn’t think we would do. We hiked the Grand Canyon Bright Angel Trail to the 3 mile point and back. Visited the Griffith Observatory in LA, upgraded our car to a Dodge Challenger, biked across the Golden Gate Bridge and sipped wine and port in Napa Valley. The organisation of the whole trip was perfect, I don’t know how to put it into words how grateful we are. It was amazing thank you so so much for helping us with our holiday of life time!

Kirsty & Tony

"From day one you’ve always beaten any prices I’d worked out myself"

Thanks so much to Chris, Corinne and yourself for all of your help and work on this. I’m often told it would be ‘cheaper to cut out the middle man’ but I always find that isn’t the case, from day one you’ve always beaten any prices I’d worked out myself and that’s before I take into account the invaluable knowledge and unbeatable service you provide, which is why I’ve now just booked my 5th road trip with you. I cannot recommend you enough!

Callum

"it was actually all of the short stops listed in our ARTCO itinerary that really made the whole experience worth while"

Myself and Bernie just wanted to send you and the rest of the team a huge thank you for arranging the best holiday and road trip imaginable! The flights, the car hire and all of the hotels on the trip were top class and we felt in incredibly lucky every time we reached a new town or city, it really was special. We have to say that San Francisco was by far our most favourite city but surprisingly it was actually all of the short stops listed in our ARTCO itinerary that really made the whole experience worth while (Pigeon Point, Carmel and the Meteor Crater to name a few). We have both said that we don’t think another holiday will ever live up to the experiences we have had on this one so the only way to try and beat it would be to do another trip like this one in the future and we will be sure to use you guys again.

James

"Everything went like clockwork"

I just wanted to tell you that Jamie and I have just returned home following our California Road Trip and it was fantastic! We had so much fun. Everything went like clockwork and all the hotels were very comfortable and in good locations. We loved San Francisco and the Harbor Court Hotel was in a great location on the seafront. The Evergreen Lodge in Yosemite was probably our favourite place to stay with the cute cabins, the log fire in the recreation room and the excellent restaurant. The sunset from The Inn at Morro Bay was unbelievable and again the food there was excellent. We saw loads of wild life on the coast, including many humpback whales on a whale watching trip in Monterey and all the elephant seals near San Simeon. All in all we loved it and thank you so much for organising it all to such a high standard.

Karen

"Absolutely the holiday of a lifetime"

Just wanted to say a massive Thank You from myself and Adam for organising our road trip in America. Everything went so smoothly, much more so than either of us imagined, and it was absolutely the holiday of a lifetime.

Alun

"Everything went very smoothly and this was down to your company"

Just wanted to let you know that we have just arrived back from our great American Road Trip and to thank all the people involved in making the arrangements for the trip. We had a fantastic time and this was helped by the fact that there were no hiccups or delays with any of the arrangements for flights/hotels/car hire! Everything went very smoothly and this was down to your company so we are very pleased with how it all went.

Steve & Paula

"Definitely one of the best holidays we’ve both done"

We just wanted to say what a fantastic time we had. Everything went so smoothly and it was definitely one of the best holidays we’ve both done! Thank you so much for the best three weeks!

Rhiannon & Tom

"This alone sets you above any other travel agent I have come across or in fact used."

I have just come back from 5 weeks in Hong Kong, Bali and Lombok having used another travel company for this trip also, with the attention to detail, the overall trip and the information provided lacking on their part in comparison to what I received from yourself and the team at The American Road Trip Company; everything that we discussed was delivered with some aspects of the trip truly exceeding any expectation.

The information provided prior to booking the trip and the information pack provided for the trip was second to none and this alone sets you above any other travel agent I have come across or in fact used. Out of the 8 trips I have done this summer, this by far was the most enjoyable and one that I will never forget! The hotels were all incredible and exceeded our expectations, the routes, the car etc everything just blew us away, so thank you. All in all, the trip was one of a life time and I would 100% use the American Road Trip Company again and recommend it to anyone considering doing this type of trip. Truly fantastic experience from start to finish!

Brooke & Chloe

"We’re so thankful that we invested our trust in you."

We had an absolutely wonderful trip. It was a truly incredible holiday and we’re so thankful that we invested our trust in you. I know without a shadow of a doubt that we’ll be using you again in the hopefully not too distant future.

Josh

"All the travel plans were just perfect"

We have had such an amazing time.  Love the Casa del Mar in Santa Monica and the Harbour View Inn in Santa Barbara was amazing too! We are finishing our last night with dinner at Nobu in Malibu !! Thanks for all your help. It’s been full on but we have loved every minute and all the travel plans were just perfect.

Stephanie

"Answering all our questions enabled us to just get on and enjoy it"

Just wanted to send you a quick email to thank you for all your help in making our Amercian road trip so fantastic. All your help in organising the car, booking the hotels and answering all our questions enabled us to just get on and enjoy it, which we did, so much! I think we can all say that the Las Vegas hotel was our favourite but the scenery, walking, swimming and food along with visits to Alcatraz, Cline winery and seeing Huey Lewis and the News on the beach at our hotel in Las Vegas will be only some of the things that will stay with us all for ever. So thank you once again, we won’t hesitate to recommend you to everyone who even mentions the words America or road trip!

Lisa

"Thank you so much for making our honeymoon truly the trip of a lifetime"

We just wanted to send a quick message to say a huge thank you for all your help with our Roadtrip! We had an amazing time and are just starting to come back down to earth now! All the hotels were amazing and we managed to fit in lots of great things to do along the way (one of my favourites was the fairly odd, but wonderfully so, Trees Of Mystery in Klamath, California…when there’s a 50ft statue of Paul Bunyan waving at the side of the road you can’t not stop can you?!) Thank you so much for making our honeymoon truly the trip of a lifetime, I’ve already recommended you to a friend who’s planning their own trip!

Nicole & James

"Top rate all the way"

Just a quick note to say we are home safe and sound after an absolutely fantastic trip. We have not been disappointed in any part of the holiday. We are so glad we took the plunge with your company – top rate all the way. You may well be hearing from us again in the future. Many thanks again.

Alison & Alun

"We have thoroughly enjoyed our vacation, courtesy of you"

This is a first for us, having a company, such as you, to book and organise our trip and without a shadow of a doubt, we are singing your praises to everyone. We realise, we preferr the country, to the cities, but considering you don’t know us, you have done so much hard work to find places to see and go en-route, we have thoroughly enjoyed our vacation, courtesy of you. Now it’s back to reallity but as funds grow, there is no doubt, we will be using the American Road Trip Co again sometime in the future.

Tom & Vicki

"Everything went without a hitch"

I just wanted to say we had a wonderful holiday. Spectacular 2 weeks. The choices of hotels/ accommodation were perfect – everything went without a hitch. Many thanks for putting this together for us.

Nick

"It was obvious from the itinerary pack the attention to detail that The American Road Trip Company provides"

We just want to email you to thank you for organising our amazing road trip! From Seattle to Las Vegas it truly was brilliant and we loved everything about our trip, in particular some of the places of interest that you recommended along the way such as Hurricane Ridge in Olympic National Park and Multnomah Falls. The Jeep we drove was nearly brand new and the trip was so well organised from start to finish. It was obvious from the itinerary pack the attention to detail that The American Road Trip Company provides and we will definitely be booking another road trip!

 

Samantha & Ashley

"Nothing was ever too much hassle"

I would just like to say a massive ‘Thank You’ to you all for helping us to arrange our American Road Trip this summer!

My partner and I got back last week after spending three weeks driving Route 66 before finishing with a slight detour through Yosemite and on to San Francisco. Rather than say it was a mere holiday, I can only describe it as a once in a lifetime experience and we loved every minute of it. We had a great time exploring each new destination, as well as discovering all the hidden gems along each leg of the journey. Our hotels were all fantastic and we had a lot of fun in our (pretty much brand new) Jeep, that took us all 2’800-odd miles from Chicago to San Francisco (plus some little detours along the way). All of which added up to a completely stress free trip, which was further enhanced with our personalised itineraries, guide books and maps that made up our exceptionally thorough pack.

I cannot speak highly enough of the American Road Trip Company and have already been recommending a similar trip to friends. Anybody I have contacted at ARTCO has been extremely helpful and nothing was ever too much hassle.

David

"Excellent arrangements"

We returned a few days ago and just wanted to say thank you to you and your team for the excellent arrangements. From the moment we arrived in Vancouver until we got to SFO everything was seamless and everyone very helpful. It doesn’t seem fair to single anywhere out, but the attention we received at the Fairmont in Vancouver and the Omni in SF was excellent, and the Olea in Glen Ellen is an absolute gem. Also, Alamo deserves a mention as they were very efficient and helpful, both in Seattle and SF.

Thanks to you we had a marvellous time.

Jeff & Anne

"Everything was brill cant thank you enough!"

I just wanted to email you to say thankyou so much for helping us book and plan our honeymoon this year. it was amazing, we have no complaints whatsoever… the hotels were amazing, flights were fine, car hire was straight forward and we got the Mustang. The pack you provide was really useful too, everything was brill cant thank you enough!

Kirsty & Danny

"massively impressed with the presentation of the information and overall attention to detail"

I just wanted to let you know that we received the pack yesterday and it’s brilliant!  We’ve had a good look through and are massively impressed with the presentation of the information and overall attention to detail.  We are very excited!

Zoe

"The travel pack is amazing!"

So we received our travel pack this morning and can I first start by saying how overwhelmingly impressed we have been with the quality of our service so far. The travel pack is amazing! More than we ever thought we’d receive. It seems like everything has been thought of on our behalf and already sorted for us, allowing us to literally just sit back and get excited. We just wanted to send you this email as a massive thank you for all your hard work and to say how much we appreciate it.

Matt & Kayleigh

"In a word – BRILLIANT"

In a word – BRILLIANT. We absolutely loved everything, the hotels were perfect, the trip plan was fantastic. Loved every minute. Now thinking west to east. Best bits were Yosemite, Carmel And Big Sur. We got the Mustang with seven miles on the clock. Thank you!

Ben & Debbie

"The holiday went without a hitch"

I just wanted to send a quick email to thank you. Both myself and Adam had such a wonderful time, the holiday went without a hitch and all of the places on the itinerary were absolutely amazing. We both still can’t stop talking about all of the fabulous experiences we had. Our most favourite place was Carmel by the Sea (but we loved everywhere we went). We got married in Vegas which was so lovely and I have to say the suite you booked was gorgeous. We got the ford mustang too which was such a great car…he loved it!

"Your dedication to all of our needs culminated in a life time experience."

Dafydd and I just wanted to drop you a line to thank you for a wonderful holiday. Your dedication to all of our needs culminated in a life time experience. From flight times, to hotels, the car and each destinations you were spot on. The seamless check in’s,  the superb itinerary pack and tips were added value. Again, thank you so very much, the American Road Trip Company has much to be proud of.

"The itinerary pack was MAGIC"

Thank you so much for your constant support and patience throughout the planning process. I can’t emphasise enough just how brilliant it was to know the honeymoon was being organised for us. The itinerary pack was MAGIC and flawlessly got us from A to B each day. Thank you so much, we can’t wait to book our next road trip!!!

Ella & Andrew

"The trip completely exceeded all of our expectations"

We just wanted to say an enormous thank you to you and all at The American Road Trip Company for all the effort you put into organising our trip for us. To say we had an amazing time would be an under statement, the trip completely exceeded all of our expectations. The hotels were all great and each had their own character which was perfect for us and the car hire was all seamless too. The suggestions for routes in the folder were a great help as were the suggestions of where to stop, this meant that our days were cram packed with breath taking sights and scenery.

Thank you again for helping us have a holiday of a lifetime we really appreciate all you did.

Katy & Ben

"We would have struggled to book such a trip ourselves."

My wife and I had a fantastic time and offer you all a big thank you for arranging such a wonderful trip for us. The flights, car hire, hotels, suggested routes, recommended locations, points of interest were all excellent and we would have struggled to book such a trip ourselves.

For the first time in 40 years of travelling, my wife said “I don’t want to go home yet” as we enjoyed our last dinner in the French Quarter of New Orleans. Hopefully, we’ll make a similar trip next year. Thanks for all your help and advice!

Paul & Sian

"A dream come true"

I just wanted to tell you how grateful Adam and I are for the AMAZING road trip that you arranged for us. It was a dream come true. We have never been on that type of holiday before but now I can’t imagine staying in one place for 2 weeks!! I can’t believe how truly amazing and varied the landscape is in California. We couldn’t have planned this trip alone, your expertise and personal experience made every part of ours incredible. The hotels were lovely, the suggested routes were fantastic!

I liked how the journey went from bustling city life to calm peaceful fishing town, then gradually built up to Vegas. Wow. Vegas. It’s somewhere that’s never massively appealed to me but I absolutely loved it!!

Everyone has been jealous of our amazing trip and have been asking who we booked with. So I’ve been telling them how amazing ‘The American Road Trip Company’ are at every opportunity. Thank you so much for planning our trip, it’s been a holiday of a lifetime and I would definitely do it again! We couldn’t have done it without you. It was really helpful to have suggested routes and places to see because we would have probably missed them otherwise and taken boring freeway routes suggested by our sat-nav.

Stacey & Adam

"What made it so pleasurable is the indepth book and marked maps that you supplied"

We are back after a smooth trouble free holiday for which you are responsible, thank you.
It is hard to say which stop was a highlight or even which drive between stops was best.
What made it so pleasurable is the indepth book and marked maps that you supplied.
Can I say the last hotel Lauberge de sedona was exceptional. We were upgraded to a cabin or a mini bungalow of extraordinary comfort. I do hope to use your services again.

"We walked in snow on mountains, saw sand storms in deserts and watched whales in the Pacific Ocean!"

I would like to say a very big thank you on behalf of all the family for organising the most amazing holiday. We walked in snow on mountains, saw sand storms in deserts and watched whales in the Pacific Ocean! There was so much diversity in the parks and the landscapes, that we were constantly in awe of what we saw. All the hotels were of excellent standard and wonderful locations, especially Monument View. Your folder with our itinerary, was informative and well arranged and the suggestions on what to see made each part of the journey something to be remembered. I would have no hesitation in recommending your company to anyone looking to have the hard work taken out of an American road trip.

Helen

"It really was a seamless and excellent trip, far better planned than I could have done myself"

We just wanted to say a huge thank you for the American Road Trip Company’s work in planning our trip and making it so excellent. The locations and the hotels you chose were all exceeded our expectations. It really was a seamless and excellent trip, far better planned than I could have done myself, so we really can’t thank you enough…we had an amazing honeymoon that was worth every penny.

Ella & Chris

"amazing holiday for our honeymoon"

Thank you guys SO MUCH for creating an amazing holiday for our honeymoon!

Stacey

"The most amazing time"

I just wanted to send an email to say a big thank you for all your hard work on arranging our road-trip. We had the most amazing time and we couldn’t have done it without your help and the handy itinerary pack.

Grace & Craig

"The hotels wonderful and the route and car were fantastic"

Jack and I just returned from our trip and it was the best holiday we have had since our honeymoon. The flights were seamless, the hotels wonderful and the route and car were fantastic. I will be highly recommending your company and the experience widely.

Nelle

"A brilliant three weeks away"

We are just on our way back from our amazing road trip, thanks so much for arranging everything for us, we have had a brilliant three weeks away!

Bethany

"Amazing Road Trip"

I just wanted to write and say Thank You for helping to organise our amazing Road Trip in May.  We really enjoyed it – the route, the car (we did get a mustang !) and all the hotels.

Trevor & Jenny

"The itinerary pack and map were invaluable!"

We just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for organising our recent road trip to California. Everything was fantastic – the car and hotels were amazing and the itinerary pack and map were invaluable!

Thank you so much for making it the trip of lifetime, your knowledge and organisation made it such a stress free holiday and it was such good value for money too! We have got serious holiday blues now, can’t wait to book our next adventure with you!

Sophie & Paul

"We found the best places were the ones we least expected"

We had the holiday of a lifetime. Thanks for all your help and hard work. The itinerary and maps along with the guide book worked really well and helped us make the most of our time! Bizarrely we found the best places were the ones we least expected.

We are seriously addicted to road trip holidays and are already saving for the next one. A beach holiday in Europe just won’t be the same again!

Katie

"Best holiday we have ever been on"

We just wanted to thank you for arranging our honeymoon trip to the USA, it was by far the best holiday we have ever been on and we can’t believe how many things we managed to fit into 3 weeks!  Everything from the flights, car and all of the hotels went smoothly without any problems at all.  We already want to do another road trip in the future and we would definitely use your company. All of our hotels were perfect for what we needed.

We just missed out on the Tioga Pass as it opened at midday the day we were travelling to Yosemite but we didn’t want to wait that late in the day to get there – the alternative drive that you suggested was amazing though and had some of the best views of the trip!

Matt & Sarah

"So very different and well worth doing"

Now we are back into our routine thought we would give you some feedback about our Deep South experience. Everything went smoothly from flights to hotels to Ian’s ‘things to do and places to eat’.

The weather, the people, the music etc all contributed to a wonderful holiday, perhaps our favourite. So very different and well worth doing. Already thinking about another!

 

Ian & Christine

"Thank you for such an amazing experience, both holiday wise and customer service wise"

We have recently returned from our road trip and just wanted to thank you for such an amazing experience, both holiday wise and customer service wise. It really was better than we could have imagined and with the help of the little touches like the map and the itinerary (we used these a lot) it gave us memories we will never forget.

All in all we were very impressed and we are already planning on a second road trip in the deep south for 2017 which we would like to book through you.

Ross

"The detailed itinerary was our ‘go to’ book and was invaluable"

The trip was everything we’d hoped it would be. This was our honeymoon and we wanted some autonomy about where & when we went but direction about where to go and what to do and see and the ARTCo gave us that, and much more.

The detailed itinerary was our ‘go to’ book and was invaluable to us throughout the two weeks. To have everything organised for us and detailed in sections was wonderful, the maps and the GPS provided a super stress free trip and much more time to ‘look out of the window’

We have raved about our trip of a lifetime to California, to all our friends and family since we’ve been home and it will remain in our memories for a long time to come… well, until we book the next adventure with ARTCo. Hopefully it won’t be too long till we book another. Thank you again.

Laura & Mark

"A truly well-organised trip from an extremely helpful and accommodating team."

A truly well organised trip from an extremely helpful and accommodating team. Extremely knowledgeable, and did a marvellous job of creating a very personal and very bespoke experience. Not a single hiccup, and the guide provided was a perfect accompaniment.

Ian

"Still amazed how you managed to do it all for that price"

I wanted to say a massive thank you for organising our holiday of a lifetime! Every stop along our trip was fantastic, each hotel was great, the car was superb, no trouble with flights… Etc

Still amazed how you managed to do it all for that price and make a profit.

Felt like we were away for months! Every day was action packed and exciting! We definitely want to go back at some point in the future. Recommending you to everyone I talk to about my trip.

Amy

"Everything was great"

Everything was great from start to finish, and we are already planning our next road trip. We’re thinking California next year!

Joe & Lucy

"The best family holiday ever!"

Apologies for the delay in sending our thanks for organising what has been the best family holiday ever!

We had an amazing time and everything went according to plan. We all have our own special memories and favourite places – some that we hope to re-visit over the coming years! We also have around 800 photos to log and place in frames and albums! Sadly as soon as we arrived home, life overtook us and here we are approaching the end of a very exciting year, that you made possible by arranging everything so perfectly, so once again many many thanks and sorry It has taken so long for us to say those words.

We have already recommended your company to friends and we will definitely be in touch when we have saved up!

Steve, Tracy, Ellie & Henry

"Everything was as promised or better"

Awesome “Road Trip” to California.

Highlights included : Amazing drive through Death Valley, Vegas is was a great laugh, Whale watching, fab food everywhere, cheap petrol (or gas) made a nice change, your Itinerary Pack and the Camaro. Everything was as promised or better, so thanks for a memorable trip. Can’t wait for the next one!!!

Joe

"We thoroughly enjoyed the break"

Just a quick note regarding our recent holiday to New England in March.Stowe made for a charming base. The Green Mountain Inn was a lovely old hotel, and the attached restaurant called “The Whip” offered amazing lunches and diners. We ate there every day, it really was superb. Please continue to use this hotel for your customers.

When we arrived in North Conway I must admit it lacked the charm of Stowe, however skiing with Mount Washington in the back ground was simply beautiful and the drive from Vermont to New Hampshire was lovely.

The few days in Boston was a nice finish to our holiday, although it was a little cold for sightseeing at times. All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed the break and you have our thanks.

Ann

"THANKS for everything"

Just got back from our trip yesterday and I just wanted to take a moment to say THANKS for everything. The road trip went without a hitch, apart from getting stopped for speeding that is! He let us off when he heard our exaggerated British accents, I’ll remember this for next time. Anyways, it was an amazing holiday and we will definitely take a road trip again.

The hotels were all great, and the bookings were correct. The Roosevelt was Ollie’s favourite, however mine was the cute Lamplighter Inn in Carmel. Thanks for recommending them. Again, thanks for everything we had an amazing time!

Kate & Ollie

"Every single hotel was spot on"

Thank you so much to chris and the team at ARTCO for the greatest road trip we could imagine!
We loved every part of our trip across California and are very grateful to Chris for adapting the trip to include San Diego and then New York at the end. Every single hotel was spot on, from the luxurious Venetian in Vegas to the quaint inns we stayed at in carmel and pismo beach. To make the trip even more perfect, the weather was beautiful and even the flights were good (and I hate flying!). Our hire car also turned out to be a convertible camaro which was amazing! We would do it all again tomorrow if we could, and if we did we would definitely use ARTCO again as they organised everything perfectly so we only really needed to turn up! Best bits – the camaro, the sights we saw on the road such as Big Bear Lake en route to Vegas and all the lakes around Yosemite, cycling around Mission Bay in San Diego, the hotels and the helpful itinerary we received! Worst bits – having to leave! Thank you so much.

Kelly & Kim

"Nothing short of amazing!!"

We just got back from our road trip and I have to say it was nothing short of amazing!! Really happy with what you guys did for us starting from how easy it was to deal with you and how flexible you were dealings with our requirements and making changes to our package to the itinerary with all our details and the quality of the hotels you booked. Thanks again!

Waleid

"A spectacular success and your planning and bookings were immaculate. "

Both Clarissa and I wanted to thank you profusely for the arrangements that you kindly made on our behalf. The trip was a spectacular success and your planning and bookings were immaculate. Other than a couple of wrong turns, which were entirely our fault, the whole thing worked like clockwork. Richard drove us impeccably all the way round for about 2,500 miles and gilded the whole event. The car was just the right size for all our luggage and was trouble free in all respects. Again many thanks for your kind help.

Nicholas & Clarissa

"Thank you so much for the memories!"

Been back from our road trip 2 weeks and what can I say. Enjoyed every bit of it. We watched whales took trams captured humming birds on camera in mid flight and played in Vegas. Thank you so much for the memories!

Colette

"Cannot thank you enough for all your hard work and time in organising and researching this trip for us"

On behalf of myself, Luke and Anthony – we cannot thank you enough for all your hard work and time in organising and researching this trip for us. Now all we have to decide is if we’re going to visit California again next year, or if it’s time to give the Southern States a visit… I suspect you will be hearing off us again soon!

Aron

"Everything went without a hitch"

I’d just like to say a huge thank you for organising such an incredible trip to California for us. Everything went without a hitch, and I can’t quite believe how much we managed to pack in whilst we were away. All of the main stops like San Fransisco, Vegas and Yosemite were exactly what we were hoping for, but the real gems were some of the unexpected (or under-researched by us) stops that we made – The Renaissance Palm Springs was a true Oasis following a drive through the desert. The drive through Death Valley was probably the most enjoyable one of my life. Going for dinner at Clint Eastwood’s Mission Ranch in Carmel. Meeting Theo the Cat at the Henry Miller Museum down on the Big Sur also made for a lovely morning stop!

Ann

"Everything was fantastic from start to finish!"

We wanted to drop you a quick note to say a massive thank you for helping to organise the best holiday ever! Everything was fantastic from start to finish! The accommodation chosen was great! The tips in the folder and route suggestions were brilliant and we had an unforgettable adventure! Again, thank you so much! We will definitely be recommending the company to anyone we know going on future road trips!

Katie & David

"Everywhere had something different to offer"

Hi all just wanted to say a big thank you. We have had the holiday of a lifetime and everything went smoothly. Can’t say where we liked the best as everywhere had something different to offer, although i did really enjoy the relaxed feel of Napa and the Pacific view at Monterey. Can’t thank you all enough.

Joanne & Mike

"Trip of a lifetime"

I cannot thank you enough for arranging the trip of a lifetime. We got back today and loved every second! The people we met along the way were wonderful and the route was amazing. Thank you so much for all your help and hopefully we’ll be booking another trip next year.

Hannah

"We had an amazing time"

Just to say a big ‘Thank you’ for planning our trip – sorry it’s a bit late but… life carries on when you get back to reality. We had an amazing time, loved the hotels and the route. We think it was actually better going from SF to Seattle as the scenery just kept getting better! And if we ever go again we’ll be in touch.

Anne

"No issues at all with any of the travel arrangements so thanks to you"

Everything that you arranged worked perfectly no issues at all with any of the travel arrangements so thanks to you both – we would definitely use you again if going to the US and I have recommended you to several friends and colleagues down here!

Joan

"Only wish we could have stayed longer"

We are back in the UK and just wanted to say a big thank you for organising our trip. We had an absolutely fantastic time. We only wish we could have stayed longer.

Yasmin

"All went off without a hitch"

Well, that was amazing! Thank you so much for the organisation which all went off without a hitch; a most excellent trip.

Richard & Mary

"I can’t rate it highly enough!"

A massive thank you for organising the most amazing holiday ever! Every step of the way, every corner was truly breath-taking and we both loved America! I can’t rate it highly enough! From the Golden Gate Bridge, over to the breath taking heights of Glacier Point, the winding roads of PCH then onto LA with its vast size….and Vegas, well we was left speechless which says it all! Each hotel was accommodating and rooms suited each stay with regards to location and comfort. Our rental car was perfect, American muscle Black Chevy Camero RS!!! We clocked up a staggering 1500 miles and loved every minute of it! I will tell anyone who hasn’t been to America to speak with you guys.

Keri

"Your provided itinerary was invaluable, a real bible"

We just felt we needed to email you and your team to say a massive thank you for all your hard work, advice and organisation in making such a wonderful, dream holiday come together. From the moment we arrived at Heathrow to board the plane for Chicago to the (sad) moment we left L.A., the holiday was magnificent and your provided itinerary was invaluable, a real bible of ours while we were away.

You made such a detailed and varied holiday totally stress free and we cannot thank you enough for allowing us to fully enjoy the time we had away. It was amazing. Thank you. We will be booking another road trip with you again soon!!

Matt & Daniela

"The ‘manual’ and map were great"

Just to say thank you for the most amazing trip to California! Everything worked as it should, flights, car and all the hotels were booked as promised. The ‘manual’ and map were great and all your suggests for things to do and see on route were really useful. Once again many thanks, I have already recommended your services to a few people so hopefully some more bookings to come your way in the future!

Sarah

"It was a trip that changed our lives … We got married in Vegas!"

Just a quick note to thank you and the american road trip company team for a fantastic trip! Everything was great, the pack and maps made everything so easy, we saw so many great sights and all the hotels you arranged for us were lovely! Thank you for doing all the hard work so that we could just relax and look forward to the trip. It was a trip that changed our lives … We got married in Vegas!

Lisa & Andrew

"I cannot fault the holiday, it was fantastic."

Now that the dust has settled after our New England Road Trip, I must write to thank you for planning and arranging our trip. I cannot fault the holiday, it was fantastic. We found, once we hit the scenic route up alongside Lake Ontario, it was like moving into a different world. Upper New York State didn’t disappoint. At that point, we realised stopping to make brief forays into the local area were an essential part of the holiday and the term “road trip” took on a new meaning. We loved it. In fact, I think New York State was as beautiful as New England in many of the parts we saw. I have 1500 photos as testament. I have, of course, recommended the holiday to friends and family and for anyone going on that trip, my one piece of advice would be: always take the scenic route, forget time saving. You will see so much more on the scenic routes.
For your feedback, all hotels were great, beds comfortable, service good, flights fine both for timing and for quality (British Airways). Car rental experience good, sat nav invaluable, although we frequently deviated from the nice American lady’s instruction. Once again, thank you. The holiday was worth every penny!
