Niagara Falls

Happy Travel Tuesday! Haven’t been to Niagara Falls? Not to worry! Our Niagara Falls motor coach tour remains as one of the most popular bus tours from Nebraska we offer. We’ll take you to the Canadian side of the falls (no offense to the U.S. side), we just think it adequately showcases how picturesque and powerful the falls really are. You’ll get an up-close-and-personal view of the falls on your Hornblower Niagara Cruise, as well as a birds-eye-view atop Canada’s Skylon Tower – two experiences you won’t soon forget. After all, we did take a total of 409 people to beautiful Niagara Falls in 2015. Our senior discounts make it even more accessible! Click HERE to take a look at some of the pictures we took from 2015 or click the picture below to go to our Niagara Falls 2016 Tour Page!

The numbers are in! At last count, there were already 213,000 cranes along Nebraska’s Platte River, the most in over 18 years at this time!

Fortunately, a family of cranes stay for about three weeks, putting our tour on March 15-16 at a great time! If you’re interested in seeing one of the greatest migration spectacles in North America, don’t wait any longer! There’s still time to get on the tour but there are just a few SEATS LEFT! Below are some highlights of our Sandhill Crane Migration Tour, March 15-16.

California & Great Parks – Texas Winter Getaway Review

Yosemite slider

Theodore Roosevelt once said, “There can be nothing in the world more beautiful than Yosemite and the groves of the giant sequoias and redwoods…our people should see to it that they are preserved for their children and their children’s children forever, with their majestic beauty unmarred.” We couldn’t agree more with Teddy! Our California & Great Parks bus tour from Nebraska is the only to include Yosemite National Park. Below are just some of the many highlights of the tour:

  • Step-on guide tours of San Francisco & Los Angeles, CA
  • Guided tour of beautiful Yosemite National Park
  • Visit and tour Muir Woods – One of the best Redwood forests in the world!
  • Visits to Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon National Park, Napa Valley’s Vineyards and much, much more!

It’s time for a Winter Getaway…

Does this cold, long, Nebraska winter got you feeling down? Do you wish you could spend some of it somewhere warm? Maybe with a view of the ocean, the beginning of a little sunburn, and a handsome man by your side (you’d spend Valentine’s Day on the beach). Well, do we have a surprise for you! We figured some of you wanted a chance to getaway this winter, so we added a brand new Texas Winter Getaway tour for 2016! With just a FEW SEATS LEFT, it’s time to dig out that sunscreen from the back of your drawers – but make sure it’s not expired. This year’s tour features some beautiful, warm Texas fun, including the following:

Professional step-on guided tours of Oklahoma City, Dallas, Galveston & San Antonio;

Visits to the NASA Space Center Houston, Galveston Harbor, USS Lexington, San Antonio Riverwalk, Lyndon B Johnson National Historic Park and more!

Don’t forget the delicious local cuisine, unlimited laughs and unique winter memories.

Our bus tours from Nebraska are a great way to escape. And as always, our senior discounts help you get more bang for your buck! Click the picture or any of the links to see some more information about our new tour for 2016, the Texas Winter Getaway!
