点评:Did route 66 in April and May and what a great trip. The group leader was Richard Wynkoop who was on his 69th route 66 trip and Vance Johnson was the support vehicle driver. Both excellent but Richard made sure nothing went wrong. It was so well organised. Richard was welcomed personally at the majority of stops we made.
I am glad we did it east to west as the scenary just got better and better especially from New Mexico. I have done around 10 of these guided trips in Asia and Europe and these 2 guides where the best I have experienced. I did also keep my bike for 4 extra days and went off to do yosemite and sequoia, which was fantastic and recommended.
The accommodation we stayed in was fine and was all very close to the sites you want to see. This tour is fairly hard and you do sleep at night, but you do a lot. The included helicopter trip over the Grand Canyon was great. Its the 1st trip I really feel I have achieved something. People are more intrested in this trip than any other I have done. We came across nothing but kindness from the locals we came across.
A couple of things about Eagle Rider admin side. It was excellent but they did tend to sell things that did upset a number of people on the group. I thought I had paid for the top insurance and checked with ER before I went. But on picking up the bike I was told I could do with paying around £500 for 3rd party insurance. I also paid for break down cover which considering they brought a spare bike not sure why I did. But my experince in holidaying In USA is you always get caught out with Motor insurance. There is always something you need.
翻译:四月和五月我们去了66号公路,真是一次很棒的旅行。领队是Richard Wynkoop,他已经是第69次沿着66号公路旅行了,Vance Johnson是支援车辆的司机。两人都非常出色,Richard确保一切顺利。行程安排得井井有条。在我们停留的大多数站点,Richard都受到了热情的接待。
我很高兴我们这次行程从东向西,因为沿途的风景越来越美,尤其是从新墨西哥州出发。我在亚洲和欧洲参加过大约10次这样的带导游的旅行,这两位导游是我遇到过的最好的。我还额外借了4天自行车,去了优胜美地和红杉国家公园,那里非常棒,值得推荐。
我们住的住宿条件很好,而且离你想去的景点都很近。这次旅行比较辛苦,晚上确实睡不好,但玩得也很多。包含的大峡谷直升机之旅非常棒。这是我第一次真正感到有所收获的旅行。人们对这次旅行比我以往任何一次都更感兴趣。我们遇到的当地人都非常友善。
关于鹰骑士的管理方面,我想提几点。他们很棒,但他们确实倾向于出售一些让团里很多人不满意的东西。我以为我已经买了最高级别的保险,出发前也咨询了急诊室。但取车的时候,他们告诉我,我只需要支付大约500英镑的第三方保险。我还支付了故障险,考虑到他们带了一辆备用车,我不明白为什么还要这么做。但我在美国度假的经验是,汽车保险总是会出问题。总有你需要的东西。
