The Best of America’s South West
This classic journey through the American South West brings together world-famous cities, dramatic desert landscapes and one of the planet’s greatest natural wonders. From the film-set glamour of Los Angeles and Hollywood to the relaxed coastal vibe of San Diego, the route showcases the striking contrasts that define this iconic region of the USA.
As the journey unfolds, travel through sun-scorched deserts and red-rock scenery, stopping in distinctive locations such as Palm Springs, Sedona and Scottsdale before reaching the breathtaking Grand Canyon.
Stay nearby to experience the magic of sunrise as the canyon’s vast layers are bathed in changing light — a moment that remains with travellers long after they return home.
The adventure concludes in dazzling Las Vegas, where unforgettable entertainment, optional excursions and iconic sights provide the perfect finale. Carefully paced and richly varied, this tour captures the true spirit of the American South West in one remarkable journey.
