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!

Merry Christmas!

Merry-Christmas

From all of us here at Moostash Joe Tours, we wanted to wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas this year! With our 2015 bus tours schedule in the books, I know we are looking forward to spending some time with family and eating one-too-many of Mom’s Christmas cookies. We hope your holiday season will be just as special.

If you’re still looking for that perfect gift this year, there’s still time to give the gift of travel with one of our Gift Certificates. Very simply make out a check for how much you want the gift certificate for, who it goes to, send it to us, and we’ll do the rest! If you have any questions, call 1-800-806-7944, email or stop by our office at 1742 East 23rd Avenue North in Fremont and we’d be happy to help you finish your Christmas lists! With well over 100 tours in 2016, we’d love to give a special memory to a special person.

2016 Full Tour Schedule

Hot off the press! Our 2016 Tour Schedule is done printing and was mailed out today! (Friday, December 11) Most of you will be receiving the official “blue” tour schedule in the mail shortly, but it’s also attached below just in case you wanted to forward it to any of your friends.

Moostash Joe Tours Full 2016 Tour Schedule

Make sure to check out the back page, which highlights a few of our favorite pictures and has a few statistics from what was a very memorable 2015.

Ribbon Cutting

For those of you that weren’t able to come out or have yet to see KHUB/KFMT Fremont’s featured video of our opening ceremonies, make sure to check out the link below. We had quite the morning, with Moostash Joe himself cutting the ribbon. Don’t worry, we made sure to give those big scissors back…

“Christmastime is Here”

Hello adventure seekers! What a beautiful past week we’ve had. Great weather, unforgettable tours and we even had a couple Presidential candidates travel with us… Since Thanksgiving, we’ve had 7 bus tours come back! With 3 on the road as we speak! Click the names below to check out some of the pictures we took:

San Antonio Christmas #1, Lorie Line Holiday Concert, Branson Christmas #3, Nashville Christmas

Presidential candidates 2016

They already look prepared to take on Trump and company… Our last bus tour from Nebraska in the year 2015 leaves this Thursday, December 10 – our Ultimate Mystery Christmas tour. We’re still not telling you where it’s going.

Mexico’s Copper Canyon

Urgent! If you’re at all thinking about our brand new Mexico’s Copper Canyon tour, February 3-13, we only have 4 seats left! If you haven’t been thinking about it – maybe this will help. Believe it or not, right now the U.S. Dollar is very strong. 1 U.S. Dollar = 17 Mexican Pesos. The exchange hasn’t been this favorable in over 10 YEARS! We also have an experienced, professional Mexican tour guide with the group at ALL times in Mexico, keeping the group well informed and most importantly, safe. The tour features a first class train ride through Mexico’s Sierra Nevada’s, comfortable river raft tour in El Fuerte, and some of the most spectacular views in North America at the Copper Canyon. Below is my homemade map of the route taken through Mexico – starting in El Paso and finishing at Carlsbad Caverns.

Hasta luego amigos!

 

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us here at Moostash Joe Tours! We hope it was full of good family, good food and some good football. (Go Big Red!) Some of the staff here was busy Thanksgiving morning. We spent our day-off from work out running around in the cold and rain at this year’s Fremont YMCA Turkey Trot. We looked less like turkeys and more like penguins all bundled up. We did return home with some hardware, however, as John Spellerberg finished first overall and Jenna Spellerberg finished first in her division in the 2-mile run, while Joey and Ashley spent some quality husband-wife time.

We certainly have a lot to be thankful for. Just this past Tuesday, November 24th, we held our Ribbon Cutting Celebration at our new office location! It was a raging success, with many Moostash Joe Tour friends coming to help christen the occasion. Those that attended heard from Fremont’s Mayor, Scott Getzschman, our President, Joey Spellerberg and saw Moostash Joe himself cut the ribbon. Our office neighbors, KHUB 1340 AM and KFMT 105.5 FM Radio were also there to document the special morning. Below is a link to their news article as well as a neat video recap of our ribbon cutting.

And remember, if you’re worried about the weather, don’t be! No matter the weather, we’ll be ready to go. Our motor coaches cut through ice and snow like butter!

Moostash Monster Mash

Happy Halloween Spooky Sightseers! I hope you’re not already sick of pumpkins…candy corn…cheap spider webs…etc. It is, after all, a Nebraskan’s least favorite holiday. Why? Because we don’t necessarily get along with those wearing burnt orange… But if you happen to see the BoogeyMan this Halloween, tell him he’s not as scary as our scary-low bus tours prices!

Arrow Visits Moostash

We’d love to make your Thanksgiving/Christmas season even more special this year. I’m happy to say we have seats available on many of our upcoming bus tours from Nebraska! One of last years’ best sellers, Chicago Yuletide Spectacular, is set to be another unforgettable tour with the fantastic Broadway Show “A Christmas Carol” at the Goodman Theatre. The Windy City during Christmastime is unlike anything you’ve seen before, guaranteed!

We also are very excited about our BRAND NEW Kentucky Christmas tour! If you’ve never been to Louisville, KY before, you’re going to be in for a treat. If there was a statistic that calculated the most fun attractions within a mile radius, they’d take the “crown”.  One of our best ever bus tour for seniors. Includes three nights at the beautiful Galt House Hotel and visits to the Kentucky Derby Museum, Muhammad Ali Center, Louisville Stoneware, and Pam Tillis Dinner Show just to name a few!

But hurry, time is running out.  We’re expecting these to be filled within the next couple weeks! And, if this weekend you see someone out trick-or-treating dressed up as Moostash Joe, it’s probably him.

Fall ‘Leaves’ You Breathless

Merry Fall everyone! Where has the time gone?! It seems like just yesterday I was writing about moving into our new office, and now we’ve been here for almost a month! We’ve had so many of our motorcoach tours from Nebraska come back since then, so I invite you to take a quick look at some of the pictures our Tour Directors took. (Make sure to check out the record-breaking “trophies” caught on our Walleye Fishing tour up to Ballard’s Resort)
