Destination info

The USA is a melting pot of cultures all thrown together over the last 200 years by the mass immigration to the ‘New World’ by Europeans, Asians, South Americans, Africans to name a few.  Made up of 50 states including Alaska and Hawaii the USA is huge! You have a bit of everything in the USA - including the most famous and cosmopolitan cities New York, Los Angeles and breathtaking National Parks like Yosemite and Yellowstone.

  • Location: Los Angeles, Colorado River and Grand Canyon

This tour operates in both directions, from Los Angeles to San Francisco and San Francisco to Los Angeles.

 

After a short tour of Hollywood we bid the City of Angels farewell and head through California on day one to the vast swathes of Arizona's cactus-prickled desert. After spending an evening along the Colorado River we explore America's premier National Park, and find out why it is called the Grand Canyon. Keep your feet firmly on the ground or swoop above it all on an optional flight. One thing's for sure though, this place looks incredible from any angle, especially walking along the rim at sunset.

  • Location: Yosemite National Park

Heading through Central California we take a scenic drive into the Yosemite National Park region and a chance to hike or bike through the extraordinary landscape of glacier-carved granite monoliths and spectacular waterfalls. Keep your eyes peeled for black bears. Coyote roam freely as well and when the sun goes down, their howling often echoes amidst pines and sequoias. Probably one of north America's most stunning national parks. Admit it; this is what clicks the spirit of the great outdoors up a notch or two!

  • Location: San Francisco

On our last day together we head back west through California's gold country, where in 1848 the finding of a single nugget triggered a stampede of gold-seekers known as the 49'ers, before arriving at the home of the beatnik generation, San Francisco.

 

Tour ends at approx 17:00 hrs in San Francisco on day 7.
