Day 1 – Las Vegas:
We’ll start our tour in one of nation’s most well-known cities: Las Vegas. This infamous den of vice, excitement and razzmatazz is home to some truly awe-inspiring hotels, casinos and plenty more. We’ll wander along the Strip and you can admire the neon majesty of the establishments lining the route. That night, we’ve splurged on the accomodation and it’s a night in a hotel on the Strip- live the Vegas lifestyle with an evening show, casino visit or dine out in the myriad of restaurant options!
Day 2- Las Vegas
Sleep in and then enjoy the Viva Las Vegas tour, see the Vegas sign, visit Area 15 and Fremont Street. Take in the downtown delights of Fremont Street with a trip to a microbrewery, more casinos and a delicious BBQ dinner. If understatement is your thing- then Vegas might not be for you- but it’s a great, unique and utterly American experience!

From the big-city buzz to another slice of Americana with a trip from the bright lights to the remote grandeur of the Grand Canyon.

Discover the fascinating history of the Native American communities who lived here. Wander from one stunning panorama to the next and take incredible photos or soak up the surroundings. Please note you can walk at your own pace as the hikes themselves will not be guided but we’ll provide all the info and maps you need!
Day 5- Grand Canyon – Downtown Las Vegas
Bid farewell to the awesome grandeur of the Canyon, but first, try your hand at axe throwing or learn more about America’s complex relationship with guns during a visit to a shooting range.
