Many famous people were either born or lived in the Kansas City area. Those going on this bus tour will see the past or present homes of over 100 different people including Mickey Rooney, Casey Stengel, Jean Harlow, Ginger Rogers, Sally Rand, Walter Cronkite, Ernest Hemingway, Craig Stevens (Peter Gunn), Roger Maris, Marilyn Maye, "Beetle Bailey," Red Skelton, Joan Crawford, Bert Bacharach, Amelia Earhart, Chris Cooper and many more.

Plus, you'll also see the current or former homes of Bo, Quiz, Rush, Lumpy along with some big-time politicians and famous business owners. We'll also show you several little-known boyhood homes of President Truman and the retirement homes of a Supreme Court Justice and Director of the FBI. You'll also see the film locations where several Hollywood movies were made right here in Kansas City. Further, you'll discover the connections that Dr. Phil, Lou Gehrig, Donald Duck, Dale Carnegie, Fibber McGee, Mickey Mouse, Harriett Nelson (of Ozzie and Harriett), Daniel Boone, Wild Bill Hickok, Buffalo Bill Cody, Buddy Rogers and others had to the area.

This is an all-day tour, generally from 9 to 4 pm (perhaps longer if you are outside of tour route). The only two times we get off the bus are for lunch (extra fee) at a nice restaurant and an afternoon  break a McDonald's. Cameras welcome.  

The fee to conduct this tour is $200 (payable as we board the bus). If you don't have your own bus, we'll need to factor in the rental of a motor coach .You set the price for your people and we'll board at your location.

In June 2011, Channel 41 (NBC Action News) featured this tour on their Proud to Call it Home series. To view the story, go to  http://youtu.be/tazg_2rgNVc
