Day 1: Los Angeles. Diverse, sun-soaked, beautiful – LA is an incredible place to kick off your trip! Take a city tour, including laid-back Santa Monica, quirky Venice Beach and Melrose Avenue. Explore the city, before an American-Asian fusion dinner and a night on the town.
Day 2: Los Angeles. Love a theme park? Sign up for an optional trip to Universal Studios or Disneyland. Or dig deeper in LA. Check out the beaches of Malibu, hike to the Hollywood sign from Griffith Park, take a tour of the Arts District or join our downtown LA food tour – yum!
Day 3: Los Angeles to Las Vegas. Big, bold, crazy – we’re heading to the bright lights of Vegas! Take a night-time tour of the mega-watt Strip, snap pics for your Insta at the Vegas sign, and see the iconic light and laser show on Fremont Street. Get ready for the night of your life – Vegas parties hard!
Day 4: Las Vegas. Spend the morning by the pool, recovering from the night before, then get out there! Ride a gondola in the Venetian, take a spin on the High Roller, hit the slot machines, or take the SkyJump, 829 feet above the Strip. Then prepare yourself for another wild night of Vegas fun!
Day 5: Las Vegas. It’s your last day, so make it count! Stake out the blackjack tables, marvel at the Bellagio Hotel’s fountains or splash out on a helicopter ride over the one-and-only Grand Canyon. When the sun goes down, you’ve got one more shot at those nightclubs!
Day 6: Las Vegas to Miami. Board the flight from Vegas to Miami. With beautiful beaches, Latin flavour and incredible nightlife, Miami is non-stop amazing. Visit the murals at Wynwood Walls, take a cruise round the bay or just soak up the sun on South Beach. The party starts after sundown!
Day 7: Miami. Get your Miami Vice on today with a Thriller speedboat tour of the bay. Then take a walking tour of Little Havana. Think chess games in the park, cigar-lounges and Cuban coffee bars. Tonight enjoy a Cuban feast, before a stroll down South Beach to see the Art Deco hotels.
Day 8: Miami. It’s another beautiful day in Miami. Give paddle-boarding a try on South Beach, check out the quirky lifeguard stands or explore the Everglades by boat. Head to Ocean Drive after sundown for another lively night out.
Day 9: Miami. It’s our last full day in Miami. Make sure you’ve seen all the sights you wanted to, take a selfie with a vintage car and pick up a fedora. We’ve also got an optional bike tour of South Beach on offer. Watch the sun go down and enjoy one more night on the margaritas.
Day 10: Miami to New York. Grab a Cuban coffee to go, before hopping on the short flight to NYC. We’ll take you on a sightseeing tour of some of the city’s highlights and set you up with a Metro pass. When the sun dips, and the skyscrapers light up, get ready for one of the nights of your life!
Day 11: New York. Get ready to tick that bucket-list – we’re off to the Statue of Liberty! Then the rest of the day is yours. Explore Central Park, walk the High Line, visit the Museum of Modern Art, and pick up an all-American hot-dog – delicious!
Day 12: New York. It’s your last full day and where better to spend it than New York City? Explore the cute side-walk cafes of Greenwich Village and the hip boutiques of Soho or take a guided bike tour of Central Park. Enjoy one last magical night with your new friends in the City That Never Sleeps.
Day 13: Trip end. It’s time to pack your bags, say your goodbyes and either head home or continue your travels around the States. See you again next time!
