Our escorted tour holidays allow you to see all this, as well as some of the smaller towns and hidden corners of national parks off the beaten track. See Niagara Falls, the Grand Canyon or Mount Rushmore, visit Los Angeles, New York, Chicago or Las Vegas, or head into the Rocky Mountains, visit theme parks or relax on the coast of New England.

Frequently Asked Questions
Escorted tour holidays take you between different destinations, giving you in depth insights into sights and attractions along the way. They usually include your accommodation, some meals, guided tours of specific attractions and transport between each of the locations. Our escorted tour itineraries can be enjoyed in a group or solo, they can be booked off the shelf, or you can speak to one of our experts who will help you create your own itinerary.

Our escorted tours allow you to choose. You can book a group tour and travel with other likeminded visitors, seeing new sights and experiencing new cultures together, or you can book a solo tour.
