USA Tours
Discover the best of the USA on our escorted tours with itineraries from 16 to 18 days
From California’s golden coast to the soulful streets of New Orleans, and through the wild beauty of America’s national parks, we journey across this vast and diverse land to discover the stories, landscapes and people that shape the spirit of the United States.
Once in a Lifetime Experiences
Spectacular landscapes
From gazing up in awe at Yosemite’s towering granite cliffs and cascading waterfalls to walking beneath the ancient, towering Giant Sequoias of Mariposa Grove, our expertly curated itineraries bring you face-to-face with nature at its most powerful. Drive the scenic 17-miles along California’s rugged coastline, where dramatic ocean vistas and windswept cypress trees leave an indelible impression. Journey past Yellowstone’s legendary wildlife and dramatic landscapes and witness the raw power of Old Faithful as it erupts before you – an unforgettable display of geothermal wonder.
Few experiences compare to standing at the edge of the majestic Grand Canyon – or soaring high above its vast, colourful expanse on a breathtaking helicopter flight. Nearby, take in the awe-inspiring view of Horseshoe Bend, carved over millennia by the mighty Colorado River.
Sounds of the Deep South
We trace the roots of American music through the South’s most iconic destinations. In Memphis, walk in Elvis’ footsteps at Graceland, explore the mansion where the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll lived and tour the legendary Sun Studio – where legends like Elvis, B.B. King and Johnny Cash recorded songs that changed music forever. Experience the magic of Nashville and the heart of country music and enjoy an unforgettable evening of toe-tapping rhythms and heartfelt ballads at the world-famous Grand Ole Opry – a stage steeped in tradition and timeless talent.
So Much Included
From start to finish, our escorted tours to the USA are meticulously planned and offer exceptional value. We include return international flights from the UK, overseas transfers and transport in modern air-conditioned coaches, deluxe hotels in great locations, many meals including daily breakfast, and entrance fees to the many incredible places and monuments you will visit, all with an experienced Tour Manager or local guide, and access to our exclusive Distant Journey’s travel app.

Holiday Styles to Suit You
What stood out to me in California was its coastal beauty, outstanding food and wine, and superb climate. From vibrant coastal towns to scenic drives, every moment felt memorable. A true highlight was Yosemite, breathtaking in every sense. Tenaya Lodge, located right on the park’s edge, makes a great base for exploring this remarkable place.
