Best for a bit of everything – Western Landscapes Tour

LA. Las Vegas. San Fran. This bumper tour of America’s west serves up as much glitz and glam as it does epic adventures. That’s all thanks to the vast canyons, lakes and valleys of its mammoth national parks. Starting in California, you’ll head to see the city of Palm Springs, followed by a drive through the Coachella Valley towards Phoenix, in Arizona. That puts you in the perfect place to see the incredible Grand Canyon on day three, and the Western-style landscapes of Monument Valley on day four. The trip packs in a visit to Yosemite National Park, as well as a trip to the seaside city of Monterey for a total change of scene. Then, it’s back to the high life in Santa Barbara, LA and Santa Monica where you’ll finish your USA trip in style.
