About this tour
Fly from London to San Francisco where you’ll begin your journey across the USA on the famous Amtrak network. Start with a half day tour of the “City by the Bay”, exploring the famous sites with a narrated coach tour taking you to the Golden Gate Bridge, Chinatown, and a ferry and entrance to the infamous Alcatraz prison.
Travel along the West Coast on the Coast Starlight train to Los Angeles, where you’ll enjoy two full days at leisure, exploring California, Sunset Boulevard and searching for your favourite icons on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Board the Southwest Chief Amtrak train for an overnight journey to Flagstaff, where you can relax in your Superliner Roomette accommodation. On arrival, spend your day exploring with some free time to stretch your legs, before making your way to one of America’s most iconic sights, the Grand Canyon.
Board the Southwest Chief again for another overnight journey where you’ll have time to sit back in your cabin or the Dome Car, travelling through the Great Plains on your way to the “Windy City”. Enjoy two full days exploring all that Chicago has to offer, sampling the signature deep dish pizzas and hot dogs, or even taking a shopping trip down the Magnificent Mile of Michigan Avenue.
For your final leg of your journey, you’ll board the Lake Shore Limited Amtrak overnight service to New York, where you’ll enjoy a two night stay exploring the ‘Big Apple’. Visit the iconic sights of Times Square and Central Park, before you bid farewell to the USA on your overnight flight home.
