Exhilarating East USA tours; start amid the corridors of power then veer right off the tourist path. Feel the pulse of the city that never sleeps in New York City. Take in the incredible monuments and museums of Washington DC and touch the sky on the observation deck of the Sears Tower in Chicago. Let nature take over with the soaring peaks of the Appalachian Mountains, the Great Lakes of the mid-west and the spectacular rush of water at Niagara Falls. Add a soundtrack of County and Blues and we reckon you’ve got the East covered.

Additional Information & FAQs
Minimum age
Minimum age is 18 years. Maximum age is 38 years.
Accommodation
11 nights camping (including fees and equipment)
2 hostel/hotel nights (paid locally $35 per night)
Meals
On our camping tours, our groups share in the preparation and cooking of the food. Supplies, excluding soft drinks and alcohol, are purchased from the food kitty, and each member of the group pays US$10 per day en route. This covers three meals on most days while we are camping; eating fresh foods that we purchase as we travel to satisfy the international flavour of the group - a healthy way to travel at an unbeatable price. Naturally this does not cover hotel stops or when Trek groups sometimes sample regional cuisine at local restaurants.
Advice & Safety
Throughout your programmes you will have the support and guidance of the programme co-ordinator and team. You will be provided with competent assistance and help with any questions or advice you may need during your stay.
You will be assigned a personal travel advisor who will co-ordinate your programme with you. Feel free to contact them at any time before you go, or when you are on your travels.
