About Us
You won’t need a map of Route 66 with Gilligans…
Welcome to Gilligans.
Thanks for taking the time to visit and we hope you might just find a reason to visit the USA with us.
Since 2013 we’ve run tours to the USA – we’re proud to offer what we believe to be: ‘The very best tour of Route 66 in the world’
Yes, we know – it’s a bold statement! We genuinely believe though, that we provide our guests with the most comprehensive, detailed and best value for money tour of this historic highway.
Why?
Because we work hard to tell the story of Route 66 in a way we feel it should be. With authenticity and by engaging with the people you’ll meet.
Gilligans has welcomed guests from New Zealand, Australia, Belgium, South Africa, Germany, Spain and the UK!
All have complimented us for their experiences, the memories and new found friends they earned during their odyssey across heartland America.
The original highway now utilizes unmarked town streets, county roads or seldom travelled stretches of dirt trails. All of which WE drive – the majority of other tours do not.
Gilligans offers all guests a complete package. We provide all hotels, a premium rental vehicle, along with our own navigation APP and Route book so that guests enjoy the freedom to drive Route 66 with ease, confident that they are seeing more of this old highway than most!
Route 66 isn’t just about the iconic images, towns and buildings; it’s about the people and the history. With Gilligans – you’ll experience some characters and make memories that will last a lifetime.
Compare our tour and itinerary with ANY tour company and you too will appreciate why Gilligans is regarded across Route 66 as providing a truly world-leading tour.
Firstly, don’t settle for what you might have been told: MOST of what was Route 66 still exists and with Gilligans you will drive all the best sections – hardly seeing the Interstate from Chicago to LA.
Secondly, we know what guests enjoy. Our years of experience has proven that whilst some guests might enjoy photo opportunities and history for example, others have enjoyed automotive museums, car yards or antique shops. You can stop and explore the attractions that are of interest to you and spend less time at those that don’t.
A tour with Gilligans isn’t about photos at all the famous stops. We spend more time than most, giving you the chance to meet the people we now call friends – people who love to share their stories.
