Escorted Train Tours in the US

Escorted Rail Tours - USA Guided Tours

Discover America's most popular destinations on an escorted train tour. Setting off with a group for guided travel through the country allows for a unique sense of camaraderie as you voyage between destinations. Guided tours and thoughtful excursions, alongside your fellow travelers and Tour Manager, introduce the essence of each locale along the way. Enjoy stays in comfortable hotels, dine together over regional cuisine and marvel at the changing sights of the country as you journey by train and deluxe motorcoach.

Escorted tours in the USA follow well-planned itineraries throughout the country. Visit New England to experience Boston, Martha's Vineyard, Hyannis and Newport, RI, the yachting capital of the world. From Chicago to Washington DC, New York and beyond, escorted tours also travel to the major cities of America, where excellent shopping and eclectic sites sit side-by-side. Your escorted tour package may take you through the Great Smoky Mountains or into the rugged mining towns of Colorado's Rocky Mountains. Wind through California, experiencing the wine of Sonoma, the immeasurable glory of the Redwoods and the diverse atmosphere of San Francisco. Embark on a cross country adventure that puts forth the best of the U.S. from New York City to Los Angeles over the course of nearly three weeks or set out on a grand tour of the country's most prestigious national parks, including the Grand Canyon. Travel beyond the boundaries of the continental United States with guided train tours of Alaska, a place where culture and tradition are as abundant as magnificent natural scenes.

Whether you focus your trip on a specific region for just a few days or expand your horizons with an extended journey throughout the country, escorted tours of the USA are undoubtedly one of the best ways to travel.
