Itinerary
Set out on "The Great American Crossing," a 20-day odyssey from New York to San Francisco crafted for young adults craving both iconic cities and sweeping natural landscapes. This guided city sightseeing trip weaves together the spirit of American liberty in Philadelphia and Washington D.C., the urban energy of Chicago, and the natural grandeur of New England, Niagara Falls, and the Great Lakes.
As you travel west, the scenery transforms—colorful Bryce Canyon, the vast Mojave Desert, and the glitz of Las Vegas all await before you reach the Pacific’s golden coast. Four days in San Francisco allow time to soak in the city’s laid-back charm. With an easy activity level, this group tour is perfect for young travelers and families seeking adventure without strenuous demands.
The standout feature? A meticulously curated route that covers the breadth of the USA, balancing city buzz with outdoor wonders, and offering a true coast-to-coast American experience in one unforgettable trip package.
