If you live in Va or visiting, I really encourage you to check out The Nature Bus if your looking for a day adventure or maybe a weekend. It's a family owned company and it's a great way to see of some of what Va has to offer. So far I've only been on two due to covid, looking forward to more. The owner Suzanne and her family go above and beyond to make sure all have a great time. Where ever the road takes ya, they always find the best informative guides. Also I love it's not a large crowd and all CDC guidelines are in place to keep everyone safe. If you're looking for fun and want to meet new people and just have a good time, in my opinion you can't go wrong. She's also open to suggestions for trips others may be interested in or if a group of family/friends want a specialized tour, she'll arrange that too. Suzanne and The Nature Bus are a gift to Hampton Roads and VA. They do trips most Saturdays and some weekends, do yourself a favor and check it out. I've lived here all my life and The Nature Bus has taken me to places I never visited.

We will experience the Blue Ridge Parkway and other iconic destinations along the way, then we explore deeper into Appalachia on my favorite scenic country roads to other hidden treasures speckled across this amazing countryside. We return back to civilization with a cruise through historic towns and finally downtown Roanoke. To end such a spectacular day, a final destination of a landmark overlook.

A fantastic 5 hour ride with Nate @motoplan8 Handlebars! A 90% chance of rain turned into clear skies and mid 70s! A Beautiful ride and a good mix of curves, city, parkway and back roads. Really enjoyed Knolly Holler and the views! Could see a long way today! The speed felt comfortable and we saw a lot, despite the parkway being crowded. Nate was knowledgeable about the area and conscientious of safety factors (a vital component a motorcycle ride). Had a great time and will gladly do it again!

I strongly suggest the visit to Mount Vernon. Journal Tour&Travels took my family and I to a time-travel to the 1770's to George Washington's estate, on the banks of the blue Potomac river, where we were able to picture the elegance of the events hosted by the First President of USA and his wife; we walked through amazing furnished rooms where the banquettes and balls took place, full of guests all dressed up in ballroom outfits. Among many rooms and little buildings around the main house, are the stables, the shoemaker house, the kitchen and even their private graveyard. We lived the experience of being inside the President's office where he planned the war strategies that gave him the victory in so many battles, that brought the Independence to the USA. Great experience, don't miss it...!
