UNIQUE EXPERIENCES
Naturally, we'll never let you miss out on the unmissable (The Grand Canyon and Vegas are bucket list essentials for a reason), but it's our unique experiences that set us apart. Think tasting an authentic Cuban feast in Miami or taking a catamaran ride under the Golden Gate Bridge in San Fran.
QUALITY ACCOMMODATION
You’ll get accommodation included for every night of your trip. When you're not bunking down in comfy hotels and quirky hostels, you're living the American dream in special stays like a comfy lodge on the shores of Bass Lake, glamping under the stars in Zion National Park or keeping cosy and watching the snow fall through the window of your chalet in Banff.
THE BEST TEAM
Professional, insightful and fun, our Trip Managers, Drivers and Local Guides in the USA & Canada are highly trained and ready to show you this incredible part of the world. Armed with their little black books of must sees, dos and eats, they’ll help you avoid the tourist traps and show you the time of your life.
EAT LOCAL
It’s hard to think about the USA & Canada without thinking about food. Fresh New Orleans gumbo, pastrami laden New York bagels, decadent Canadian Poutine - when it comes to food, this corner of the world doesn’t mess around. As well as breakfast included most days of your trip, our food focus in the USA & Canada is all about flexibility and local flavours, so you can create your own foodie odyssey. It’s all part of our Munch food philosophy.
AWESOME PEOPLE
You guys. You're the main ingredient. Our trips in the USA & Canada are exclusively 18-35, and are geared towards helping you find the perfect people to explore, learn, laugh and create memories with. Whether you're travelling 'solo' or joining us in a group, this truly is the most social travel imaginable.
TAILORED TRANSPORT
The USA & Canada are diverse and beautiful countries, but they’re also huge. Fortunately, we know when to speed you from A-B on an internal flight, or when to let you soak up all that beauty on scenic coach rides across mountain vistas.
TRAVEL STYLES
Our different travel styles are all about giving you choice. Differentiated by how many places you want to visit and how much you want included in the price, they mean you know exactly what you’re getting when you travel with us in the USA & Canada.
DISCOVERER
See it all - do it all. If you're a dreamer, explorer and bucket-list ticker, our Discoverer trips are for you. The perfect travel style for those looking for equal parts iconic sights and local experiences, these trips will take you from the heights of the Empire State Building to the depths of the Grand Canyon, experiencing good old fashioned Southern hospitality and European infused Quebec in between.
IN-DEPTH EXPLORER
Our In-Depth Explorer trips are the perfect way to uncover this region in all its glory. Built around local experiences, regional tastes and a more chilled pace, get to know places like the East Coast, Hawaii, or the best parts of Canada, just like a local would. More time in each destination and loads of free time means every day is a new adventure in which the memories come thick and fast.
SKI & SNOWBOARD
Fresh air and fresher powder calling your name? Then the snowy runs of Lake Tahoe, Whistler and Banff are for you. Whatever your level of experience, grab your skis or board and get ready for a snow themed adventure. Our ski trips in North America promise the world, and don’t disappoint.
SHORT TRIPS & FESTIVALS
Only have a few days to hang out with us, perhaps off the back of another trip, or want to prolong your adventure just a bit longer? Our short trips and festivals in the USA & Canada will see you spending a few days living the LA, Orlando or NYC lifestyle, or celebrating NYE surrounded by the bright lights and even brighter characters of Las Vegas.
