  I recently did this trip! 100% recommend it, its very full on there is alot packed into it so i would definately recommend a couple of days before and after the tour to explore a bit more but I probably wouldnt suggest staying in the contiki hotels as there not in the best locations or nicest areas. any questions about the tour let me know :)

  oh no nothing like that! the hotels are actually really nice (apart from the hotel in san fran which has the tiniest rooms ever and we thought we haunted) they’re just not in the nicest areas like you walk down the road and you see streets full of homeless people in LA. also in new york you stay in brooklyn which is quite out of the way it is alot better to stay on the main island closer to everything.
  its hard to say a favourite part, I had alot of fun partying in vegas they take you to some awesome clubs there. just dont stay up too late before the mornings you have activities cause alot of us did that and struggled alot, I ended up sleeping through the nyc bus tour i was that exhausted :(

  Hey, I just finished doing this tour and I did it in sept too!
  The weather was amazing! Sept is an awesome time to go! I also advise spending an extra day or two each side! For example I should of stayed an extra day in L.A because I would of liked to do universal there aswell as Disneyland! But with everything I wanted to do there was just no time!
  Vegas was amazing!! It’s definitely famous for a reason! San Fran is beautiful! I agree with nr992 that the hotel wasn’t great! We had the smallest room and smallest bathroom! But with saying that you really don’t spend that much time there!
  Try and make sure you go to some sporting game there! Even if your not into sports it’s great! We watched baseball! Any questions about anything send me a message! I’m more than happy to offer advice! :-)
