What people love about USA Tours for Young Adults
Trip of a life time!! Kade is an amazing Trip Manager.
LA to the Bay
An unforgettable journey! I can’t fully express my gratitude for this incredible tour — it truly exceeded all of my expectations! Everything was organized at the highest level, from start to finish. Our guide, Yvonne, was simply amazing: for all 8 days she shared interesting facts, supported us throughout the journey, and was always available for any questions. Our driver, Eric, made the trip as comfortable as possible — we were in good hands every mile of the way. We visited the most breathtaking, otherworldly places you can imagine — places that truly take your breath away. And just as special as the landscapes was our group: we met wonderful people, and after 8 days together, it felt like we were a little family. Saying goodbye was genuinely emotional. There are optional excursions available for an extra fee — from more budget-friendly ones like an evening buffet and show ($50), to absolutely epic experiences like a scenic flight over the Grand Canyon ($500). I’ll remember it for the rest of my life. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour to anyone seeking awe, adventure, and connection. One of the best travel experiences of my life!

- USA: LA to Dallas
This tour was awesome! I couldn’t have seen or experienced anywhere near as much on my own. Great snapshot of the states and cities we travelled to, and fast paced but with enough downtime and free time to explore. Kade, our trip manager, and Mike, our driver, were fantastic and shared so much of all the destinations with us, really brought the group together and seemingly effortlessly kept us all organised and the tour moving smoothly. Kade’s meal recommendations are the best!! The accommodation was great and the included meals were good (breakfasts generally great and included dinners ok, but fairly budget). Overall, great value for money and an awesome way to see the US!
