The Stars & Stripes tour starts in Los Angeles and ends in New York City. The Stars & Stripes is an Explorer tour that takes 12 days taking you from Los Angeles to New York City. The Stars & Stripes includes trip leader, accommodation, meals, transport and some activities. Please see the Includes section for details.
O say, can you see? You'll see it all and more on this epic trip through the USA. After experiencing the best of the west, you'll jet east for three unforgettable nights in the city that never sleeps (although we don't recommend you go sans shut-eye). Think: rollerblading along Venice Beach in LA, slurping on chowder at San Fran’s Fisherman’s Wharf, throwing it all on black in Vegas and Statue of Liberty spotting in New York. It’s basically a tour of the US Hall of Fame. Seriously.
