Itinerary
Our incredible holiday starts with a transatlantic flight to New York's JFK airport. On arrival, we cross the East River to Manhattan as we transfer to our hotel on Times Square. New York is full of instantly recognisable locations and this dazzling plaza in central Manhattan is one of the world's most famous. With its revolving dining room offering spectacular views of the famous Manhattan skyline, and ground level getting you straight to the heart of vibrant New York City, it's easy to understand why this 4-Star hotel is our customers' favourite North American hotel.
Your evening is your own to either unwind in your hotel or head out into the 'city that never sleeps'. At the point where Broadway intersects with 7th Avenue, Times Square is the beating heart of New York's entertainment district. A glittering display of billboards cast their sparkle across the square while an extensive array of famous theatres lines the side streets. In such a global city, there is no shortage of food options, with cuisines from all across the world on offer.

Magical journey, fun companions, great sights, comfortable train with good beds and excellent staff. Food superb (especially the steak). Brilliant guide. Food pricey and tipping culture a bit annoying.

An unforgettable journey, travelling from New York to San Francisco by train and coach, taking in well known sites on the way. We saw cities, crossed the Great Plains, the Rocky Mountains and the Mojave Desert. All led and co-ordinated by a great tour manager.

All very good. Main difficulty was I'm finding suitable places to eat without much direction.

What a wonderful holiday this was! We covered New York, Washington, Chicago, Grand Junction, Durango, Flagstaff, Grand Canyon, Las Vegas, Los Angeles and finishing in San Francisco. Taking in all the stunning scenery between these places by Amtrak trains and coaches. Learning more about Native Americans and Mormons who made us feel very welcome. Nothing can describe the reality of looking over the edge of the Grand Canyon and following the Colorado River. This was an unforgettable trip, made even more enjoyable by our excellent tour guide Tim and our group of fellow travelers.
