Customer reviews

On this new tour you’ll explore the highlights of South-western America – from dazzling Las Vegas to Arizona desert, the sands of Long Beach to the
Golden Gate.

Not only are the destinations exceptional, but also the means of getting to them. Take a train trip into the heart of the Grand Canyon, a jeep ride in
Red Rocks Country, and literally climb the walls – albeit in a rotating aerial tram – of Chino Canyon in Palm Springs.

The Coast Starlight train whisks you along the scenic west coast from
Long Beach to San Luis Obispo, while in San Francisco a guided tour covers the many attractions for which the city is famous.
