Didn’t expect it to be nothing on Day 1 expect to check into the hotel.
- USA: LA to Dallas
I loved this trip! Would highly recommend it for anyone who wants to experience a taste of Southern USA and explore the historical and scenic parts while still having plenty of downtime and party time. The coach was clean and comfortable and Kade was an excellent guide who was organised, knowledgeable and always went above and beyond for our group. It's great to be able to see as much as we did in such a short time and have it all planned perfectly for you. Great value for money with so many hidden gems along the way. Book it asap!
What our customers ask about North America Tours for Young Adults
What's the best time of year to take a young adult tour in North America?
North American tours peak during summer months from June through August with warm weather perfect for general sightseeing and outdoor activities. Winter tours from December to February draw crowds to ski destinations like Whistler and Banff. The Canadian Rockies see most visitors from June to August when hiking conditions are ideal while southern USA routes operate throughout the year. A TourRadar traveler noted: "In Banff during summer temperatures can reach well above 30°C (86°F) perfect for hiking and outdoor activities while winter offers amazing skiing opportunities."
What kind of nightlife experiences are available for young travelers?
From the natural wonders of Yellowstone National Park to the bright lights of Las Vegas young travelers can experience both daytime adventures and evening entertainment. Cities like New Orleans and San Francisco offer distinct nightlife scenes. Staying at centrally located hotels such as the Holiday Inn Express in New Orleans puts you steps from the French Quarter's music venues and Bourbon Street's energy. As one TourRadar reviewer shared: "Visiting places like Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon was breathtaking but the nightlife in cities like Vegas really added to the young adult experience."
What's the accommodation like on young adult tours in North America?
Tour accommodations range from upscale properties like the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge to social hostels in urban centers. Most itineraries balance 3-4 star hotels with hostels creating a mix of comfort and budget-friendly options. Mountain lodges dot the Banff region while modern casino hotels define Las Vegas stays. As one TourRadar traveler mentioned: "The hotels were well resourced and were lovely to stay in especially after the hostels in Vancouver giving us a great mix of social and comfortable accommodation."
How much spending money should I budget per day for a North America tour?
Daily budgets beyond tour costs should range from $50-100 USD to cover extra activities meals and entertainment. Tour prices typically run $200-300 USD per day. The Whistler-Banff region may require additional funds for activities like skiing which costs $130-185 USD for equipment and passes. Cities like New Orleans tend to have more affordable entertainment choices. A TourRadar traveler shared: "The food kitty option on some tours helps keep costs down by bulk purchasing items together."
What types of activities are included in young adult tours?
Tours combine outdoor exploration with cultural experiences. Standard inclusions feature hikes in Banff National Park visits to New Orleans' French Quarter trips to the Grand Canyon and nights out in Las Vegas. Optional add-ons range from white-water rafting at $95-185 USD to Grand Canyon helicopter tours and Whistler ski sessions. A TourRadar traveler mentioned: "Amazing experience filled with unforgettable experiences. Beauty and nature surrounds everything you do with opportunities to add adventure."
How social are these tours for meeting other young travelers?
The tour format naturally encourages connections between travelers with group sizes ranging from 15-45 people. Shared experiences include group meals optional activities and nights out in social hotspots like New Orleans' Bourbon Street or the Las Vegas Strip.
