Testimonials

"The Route 66 Tour was amazing - I loved every minute of it. Jay is a knowledgeable and amazing tour guide with a great sense of humor who went beyond providing the required standard itinerary by arranging extra places to visit along the route.  It provided great value for the money spent. I would recommend this tour. It was a trip of a lifetime and one I will never forget."

"Jay Schmidt helped provide our group of New Zealand farmers with an outstanding Midwest USA tour experience in June 2019.  We appreciated Jay’s warm and engaging personality, his humor and willingness to communicate and care for our needs.  He co-operated very well with all parties involved with the tour to ensure that we were all operating on the "same page"!

Jay has a very good background in, and knowledge of American agriculture. This coupled with his sound insights of day-to-day life in the USA and his numerous personal contacts along the way, added a much appreciated human touch to the tour.  I have no hesitation in recommending Jay as a competent, knowledgeable and reliable tour manager."
