Tour Plan
We are on our way to Albuquerque from various parts of Europe. After our arrival at the airport, we meet with our tour leader in the area and go out of the airport after we take our luggage and passport procedures. We are going to our hotel where we will stay with our private vehicle waiting for us outside. After our arrival at the hotel, after making the rooming procedures. Free time and overnight at our hotel.
Accommodation: Albuquerque
After breakfast at our hotel in the morning, your guides will meet you at the hotel and take you to our motorcycle location to pick up our motorcycles.
You have free time to relax and enjoy the distinctive character of this 400-year-old city. The mix of cultures in Santa Fe is evident in the Southwestern architectural style. In any case, there is no shortage of things to do in and around New Mexico’s capital city. Get up early and take a hot air balloon ride at sunrise, be a cowboy all day by horseback riding on a mountain or canyon trail, or take a cruise along the river valley to Taos, an authentic Native American ‘Pueblos’ or community. Then we move to our hotel and overnight at our hotel.
Accommodation: Santa Fe
This morning we drove south to Albuquerque, New Mexico’s largest city. Home to a third of the state’s population, Albuquerque is a sprawling city located at the crossroads of New Mexico, at the point where major east-west highway and railroad routes cross both the old road to Mexico from the south and the legendary Rio Grande. Crossing this legendary waterway, we head west to open land. Prepare to be enchanted by the shapes and hues of this Navajo wilderness, with its steep cliff edges and tabletop mesas. We head towards Laguna – then through the Grants and Cibola National Forest to the quaint Route 66 town of Gallup. An old railroad town and an old Native American fort. Enjoy your stay in Gallup, where it’s easy to chat with other riders from around the world at one of the city’s numerous biker-friendly hotels. Overnight at our hotel.
Accommodation: Gallup
After a 30-minute drive from Gallup to the Arizona border, we take an awe-inspiring journey through the Petrified Forest. These multi-colored layers of land may remind you of a space-like landscape, but what you’re looking at is actually a fossilized prehistoric forest made up of huge trees unearthed by erosion over the centuries. A little further west, we’ll pass through Holbrook and Winslow, two former Route 66 towns whose livelihoods are provided by transcontinental truckers. While most tour groups tend to spend the night in Flagstaff or Williams, Arizona, we have something different on our minds. Just a mile from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, we’re on our way to a special night out! Enjoy a cold drink as you curiously watch the sun set over the Grand Canyon.
The dream came true before your eyes.
Accommodation: Grand Canyon
If you don’t mind an early start, we can arrange a morning helicopter flight for our guests over the Southern Rim of the Grand Canyon. There will be plenty of time to drive along the edge, stop to admire the stunning views and make the most of the photo opportunities. Then it’s finally time to leave the Grand Canyon and take Route 66 in Williams, Arizona. We will also stop at the famous 66 towns of Kingman, Peach Springs, Seligman, Hackberry and the must-see Old West Ghost Town in Oatman, Arizona. Tonight we return to the Tropicana Hotel, located along the Colorado River and adjacent to the best steakhouse in the West of Texas!
Accommodation: Laughlin
An unforgettable journey awaits us to Las Vegas, which has declared itself as the Entertainment Capital of the world but is also called the city of sins in some circles. Prepare yourself because we’re taking a detour to Las Vegas today! Once there, you’ll have a VIP experience at some of the most famous hotels on The Strip. We work with hotels like MGM Grand, Palms Casino Resort and Tropicana! As they say, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, but it’s definitely going to be a lot of fun! Try to get some sleep because in the morning we pick up where we left off the previous evening on Route 66.
Accommodation: Las Vegas
We head to the sunny state of California, the next stop on our journey along the famous Route 66. We pass the sand dunes and salt flats of what is called Devil’s Pla. Indeed, the Mojave Desert offers some of the most stunning scenery in Southern California. Think dramatic volcanic formations, rolling grasslands, clusters of Joshua trees, and even Pinyon pines at some points. Leaving the desert for dust, our journey takes us into the cool woodlands of the San Gabriel Mountains. Our last stop today is the old air force base town of Victorville, where we will spend the night.
Accommodation: Victorville
Hear it as we set off for Los Angeles, the last stop of the legendary American journey.
We’re heading straight for Santa Monica for a very good reason that historic Route 66 actually ends at Santa Monica Boulevard. When you see the “End of the Road” sign on Santa Monica Pier, you should feel a sense of accomplishment that you’ve finally fulfilled a dream, but also a little bit of sadness that the journey has finally come to an end. Of all LA resorts, Santa Monica is the largest and oldest. In the flower power days, it was a hedonistic beach playground. It’s still a liberal place, but much more health-conscious these days. Now you have free time to spend the afternoon wandering around Beverly Hills, Rodeo Drive, the famous Chinese Theater and much more.
Accommodation: Los Angeles
This journey that will be remembered for a lifetime ends today in Los Angeles. Today, we are delivering our rented vehicle and equipment. Then a full day of free time. You can consult our guide about what you want to do for the rest of the day or you can participate in other excursions to be organized.
Accommodation: Los Angeles
After breakfast at our hotel in the morning, free time to enjoy the city or relax. You can consult our guide about what you want to do for the rest of the day or you can participate in other excursions to be organized.
Accommodation: Los Angeles
After breakfast at our hotel in the morning, evacuation of the rooms and check-out, meeting with your guide for your airport transfer. Then, after arrival at the airport, passport, baggage and other procedures, we go to our plane.
And we have come to the end of our Turquise Reisen tour with more pleasure.
