    What a place! Our first time in USA and we decided to do Route 66 for our honeymoon. From our start in Chicago to finish in San Francisco (we tagged a few days on) the trip was one we will never forget. Chicago was wonderful, a plush hotel, city life but yet so sophisticated and such a stylish city.. loved every mintue. We travelled west to all the places mentioned on the tour, Tucumcari was real old 66 and the owners of Motel Safari are lovely. They spent time talking to us and how keen the local are to keep the town on the map. Cant fault any of it, as i said we decided to take a trip up the gold coast and stayed at Monterey and St Luis Obispo. Unfortunatley we didint see much of SLO however the stay in Monterey made up for it. This place is gorgeous, quiet and relaxed with the beauty of the gold coast. Check out the candy shop on the Pier OMG!!! Never had candy/chocolate like it!!! San Francisco is just out of this world. Such a welcoming place, so friendly and we were really upset to leave.

    Dear Alistair,

    I meant to contact you for some feedback on our return from US (02/10) and now find I already disposed of documents with our booking reference. However, we were booked on your Route 66 road trip and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Hotel accomodation was generally excellent, car hire was also excellent although we took advantage of a good offer to upgrade ($11/day). Some of distances were a bit long especially when we tried to use original Route 66 rather than interstates but this was our choice. Only frustrations were trying to find some of hotels after a long days driving. Although we had a satnav it had difficulty in Oklahoma City (due to roadworks in the city centre), Amarillo (hotel not listed and did not recognise address) and particularly Albuquerque (deposited us 12 miles out of town in the middle of nowhere but 12 miles short of the hotel!). In the last 2 cases it would have helped if we had know the nearest junction number on the interstate to aim for. In fact.I would suggest this would be useful information for all your trips?

    Thanks for a great trip, we would have no hesitation taking another on with CNA and recommending you to our friends!

    Regards,

    Neil Hughes

    Hi,

    I am just emailing to say thankyou for organising our trip to the USA where we did the Route 66 fly drive. We had a brilliant time and were extremely impressed with the service you provided to us, the information pack is a very good idea and we found it invaluable on our trip.

    On a side note aswell, my cousin is getting married next year so we are in the process of organising a stag trip to Las Vegas for him. The best man is starting to get quotes now so I thought I would see what it would be through yourselves. We are looking at 4/5 days, flying out on Wednesday/Thursday and back on Sunday/Monday, staying somewhere on the strip like MGM Grand or similar sort of price range. There will at a rough guess be approx 15 of us travelling but I cant confirm that yet. Do you do just flight and hotel packages and if so, what sort of price are we looking at per person for April 2012?

    Thanks again for organising our Route 66 trip,

    Daryl Dampney

    Good day Roger

    Earlier this year I booked a holiday with your company for myself and my wife. It was the ‘Route 66′ package. I would just like to say that the holiday was everything and more than what we ever expected. It really must be classed as a holiday of a lifetime.

    It has taken me a while to get round to thanking you for the detailed work that you put into making everything so right for us. From day one everything went perfectly and this is only the result of the professionalism you took in making it so.

    I understand that you will have many customers but your attention to our individual needs was very much appreciated.

    I have spoken to friends and colleagues about our fantastic holiday I have had no hesitation in recommending Complete North America.

    Our US driving holiday has spoilt us for any other type of holiday so we are now planning our next sojourn.

    Kind regards

    John

    To everyone at Complete North America,

    I just wanted to write to say a big thank you to you all for organising our recent trip on Route 66. We have had an amazing time, it was better than i could ever have imagined and every detail of the holiday was perfect. The 2 folders we received were brilliant with all the information we could possibly need which helped us along the way. We had one small problem at the hotel in Chicago where we were told that the room had not been paid for in advance but we contacted the number in the book and it was sorted out immediately. I have already recommended your company to some work colleagues who were interested in doing the Route 66 holiday and were waiting for us to return to tell them about it. I will definitely be booking with you again in the future.

    Once again THANK YOU!!!

    Regards

    Margaret Simmons

    To all the team at Complete North America

    Along with my partner, I have just returned from an amazing road trip across Route 66 organised by yourselves, I would like to take this opportunity to say a massive thank you to all for an unforgettable holiday/honeymoon.

    The professional manor of the way the team organised the trip was second to none, from the start at Los Angeles to the end at Chicago everything was perfect and was an experience we shall never forget.

    Again let me thank you for a great time we had in this amazing country, and no doubt we shall return in the near future organised with yourselves.

    Kind regards

    Hello Roger and team

    I just wanted to write a quick email to thank you for your work in putting together our Route 66 trip, and for your patience in answering my questions. I am pleased to tell you that everything went smoothly.

    It goes without saying that we had the most wonderful time, it was as fun and exciting as we thought it would be, and then some. The choice of hotels and motels was perfect and we were treated with great care and attention wherever we stayed. The Lodge at Grant’s Tail MO and the Colcord in OKC stand out particularly for me, and both so different; the quality of the accommodation was one of the things that made the trip for us.

    The material in the handbook was comprehensive and very useful. If were to offer some feedback it would be to supply a conventional road atlas with some notes, as the file was bulky to use in the front of the car, and to pack in the suitcase and I need all the room I can for my shopping!

    Again, thank you for all your efforts and we look forward to our next trip!

    Kind regards
    Claire Johnson and Mark Sleightholm

    Dear North America

    I recently finished your route 66 fly drive holiday and would like to thank you very much for organising the best holiday i think il ever have. Everything went perfectly with great weather, amazing sights and great people we met along the way. The accomodation booked along the way was first class. From luxury Hilton hotels to quirky lodges and classic motels it made you feel like you were on a true adventure. The only suggestion i would make is taking out the stop off in chinle because its a big detour in a place thats not got much to do and we were dissapointed with the rude staff at the hotel. Regardless of this we loved every second of this trip and didnt want it to end. We have been left with so many stories and photos to show people back home. Hopefully once we have financially recovered from this trip we will be using you again to explore more of America.

    Thanks again

    Dave and Sam
