What people love about USA Tours for Young Adults
- LA to the Bay
This tour is great for getting a feel for the west coast. There were plenty of two night stays in a lot of the locations so it felt like you actually had time to settle in and really enjoy the location. There was a great balance of group and included activities and free time. Shout out to Kade and Markus who were amazing representives for contiki and made the trip amazing.
- 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!
- USA: Dallas to Miami
It was very good and a great experience that I am planning on doing again.
