What we love about this tour:

As one of our most popular bus tours from Nebraska, Iowa & South Dakota, there is such a great variety of activities. First of all, Mackinac Island in autumn oozes nostalgia; the absence of motor vehicles, the horses, bikes, unique shops and of course, fudge – you’re sure to remember yesteryear. The great little town of Frankenmuth offers a little slice of Bavaria. Sault Ste. Marie on Michigan’s Upper Peninsula provides a history lesson and Door County, Wisconsin features quaint communities and incredible scenery.

What we love about this tour:

We love the different perspectives this tour offers. Get off highway and see the area via rail and water. We think you’ll especially enjoy New Hampshire’s Winnipesaukee Scenic Railroad and Maine’s Lighthouse Lover’s Cruise. But, there’s so much more to this tour – such as our Pennsylvania Amish Farmland Tour and the wonderful show “Jesus” at Sight & Sound Theatre in Lancaster, PA.

Nebraska Strong

Our thoughts, prayers and hearts are with all of those affected by the devastating floods around Fremont and the surrounding area. Fremont is a place we proudly call home, where everyone is our neighbor, and can’t imagine the hardships of our dear fellow residents. But, we know Fremont, the State of Nebraska and our neighboring states will come back stronger and better than ever. A sincere thank you to the first responders, volunteers, supporters and members of these resilient communities that are helping in the recovery. There is no place like Nebraska.

We also wanted the opportunity to say Moostash Joe Tours is doing well and operations are continuing on as normal as flood waters remained outside of our immediate area. Returning travelers were also able to return home safely last weekend and early this week as well. Thank you for your continued thoughts, prayers and concern for us and our community.

Trains & Cruises of New England 2019 Tour

Moostash Joe

by Rich Krosch

I love traveling with Moostash Joe, a man whom I’ve never met. 

He puts together wonderful tours; our money and time is well spent.

He does all the planning, makes reservations, and gets us there on time.

The cuisine is great, and twice a day we dine on his dime.

But it isn’t just the food, or the destination, it’s the friends we make.

That’s what keeps us coming back on all the trips we take.

On day number one we are strangers, at least for the most part.

On the last day, as we say our good-byes many are etched on my heart.

It all starts on the first morning break, as we enjoy our apple fritters. 

We start to interact and meet one another as we develop the coffee jitters.

During the morning break, or at lunch, we start to mingle and bond.

By the end of the journey we all have friends with whom we are very fond.

I’ve seen the Golden Gate Bridge, Grand Canyon, Niagara & Ellis Island,

But as I look back, it’s the people I’ve met that really keep me smilin’!

Nowhere else will you find such a variety of tours, lowest prices and top destinations than you will with Moostash Joe Tours!
