Loving these funny reminders of past escorted tours.
On our 2017 tour, I was given the name Captain Pull Up, as I managed to avoid a rear end collision, pulling up with inches to spare. Well maybe, one inch.
I was awarded the Un**es of Excellence.

Hellooo Chattanooga, Tennessee.
Another great stop and museum tour at The Coker Museum. Corky himself was there to greet us and tell us a few good yarns, and fire up one of the coolest of cars for us.
This place is an absolute treasure to go through.
The photos do not do the museum any justice.

Who doesn't love a good JD's.
We took the group for a day excursion to the Jack Daniles Distillery in Lynchburg, Tennessee, for a guided tour of the world renown Distillery.
Every single bottle of Jack Daniels is made in this facility. We had a tasting class to cap it off. I see a theme developing here :)
The scale of the production is mind blowing.

The Grand Ole Opry is a regular live country-music radio broadcast originating from Nashville, Tennessee, on WSM, held between two and five nights per week, depending on the time of year. It was founded on November 28, 1925, by George D. Hay as the WSM Barn Dance, taking its current name in 1927.
It is the longest-running radio broadcast in U.S. history. Dedicated to honoring country music and its history, the Opry showcases a mix of famous singers and contemporary chart-toppers performing country, bluegrass, Americana, folk, and gospel music as well as comedic performances and skits.
It attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors from around the world and millions of radio and internet listeners.
Our tour group were lucky enough to visit on the 100 year anniversary to take in the culture and atmosphere.
It sure was an unreal feeling to experience the history unfolding in person.

Well, all i can say is WOW!
The Southeast DID NOT fail to deliver.
Here are just a few of the hundreds of photos we have to go through.
Most people said it was hard to pick a highlight of the trip, as there were so so many.
Thank you to our lovely group that joined us for this trip. More lifelong friendships and memories created along the way.

Our tours are more than just car events. We are all about discovering the history, music, delicacies, and immersing ourselves into the culture of the areas we go to.
Planning is underway for the 2026 Fully Escorted tour to the Southeast.
email Craig [email protected] to express your interest and visit the REAL America on a fully escorted tour.

After 8 years of hosting good kiwi folk on our Fully Escorted tours, there are a few things that stood out, as to what people really wanted in their trip.
The SoCal car culture is amazing, but there is so much more to see than days on days of cars.
The culture, the history, the people, and the mind-blowing scenery.
A train ride to the Grand Canyon, jeep tours of Monumnet Vallery and Zion National Park, an in depth look at the Hoover Dam.
While we still take in some of the iconic car shows and swap meets, we have found the perfect balance to make sure our clients get the full American experience. This formula has proven to be an absolute hit.
We also keep our groups small, so you have a more personable experience. We take the time to make sure you are getting the most from your once in a lifetime trip. No one gets left behind.

We have recently teamed up with John Key (the drag racer, not the politician), to bring you over 30 years of USA travel experience.

Our October tour takes in, as many as 6 states!
California, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah and Nevada.

Highlights include: LA and San Diego sights, Four Corners Monument, Jeep tours through Monument Valley and Zion National Park, 5 days in Las Vegas, A train ride to The Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam tour, Original Route 66 towns and Diners, Ghost towns, Speed shops visits, museums and outlet malls.
Plus, the world-famous Pomona swap meet, where there are no limits as to what you can buy, as we can ship anything home with our sister company Trans America Shipping.
We travel in Luxurious air-conditioned vans with loads of room for purchases.
Now taking registrations for October 2025.
Put yourself in the picture and contact Craig to secure your seat.
