A

merica isn’t called the Big Country for nothing – and there’s a lot to pack into a visit here, as each of the 50 states boasts a super-sized selection of sights and natural wonders. So surely it’s too big to experience all in one go? Not so, actually.

Canyon and San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge.

For anyone who harbours dreams of cruising under the Statue of Liberty and of viewing the awesome Grand Canyon all within the same holiday, there is now a new way to experience the very best that America has to offer, in one glorious ‘hit’.

And this being Scenic Tours – a company renowned for offering a unique, highlypersonalised service that puts guests at the heart of everything it does – the tour is packed full of iconic, first-class hotels.

The ground-breaking, 22-day Grand America Coast to Coast escorted tour from Scenic Tours is the most comprehensive and luxurious eastto-west adventure on the market, packed full of culture, history and beauty.

These ‘Scenic Special Stays’ range from the art deco grandeur of the Waldorf Astoria in New York, to the ultra-luxurious Park Hyatt in Washington DC and the glamorous Beverly Hilton in LA, where the Golden Globes are held.

It is an opportunity to see, feel, hear and taste the United States in all its glory and diversity, taking in some of the western world’s most famous sights - the Empire State Building, the White House, Las Vegas, and the magnificent Grand Canyon, to name a few.

Guests will also be able to kick back and relax in a wonderful Arizona Desert spa resort, the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess – and stay at a lodge within the Grand Canyon National Park on the South Rim. It’s perfectly placed for spectacular sunrise and sunset views of one of the world’s most awesome natural wonders - and for an amazing 45-minute flight, providing a bird’s eye view and fantastic photo opportunities.

Even better, it offers complete, fully-inclusive luxury, with many amazing and spectacular experiences built into the price - there really is nothing else out there like it! Included adventures range from scenic Amtrak rail journeys down the East and Pacific coastlines, to spectacular flights over Las Vegas, the Grand

There are memorable dining experiences included, too, from a welcome dinner aboard a luxury ship with the Manhattan skyline as backdrop, to an evening at one of Washington’s best restaurants – the multi award-winning Blue Duck Tavern.

No other touring company offers this level of fully-inclusive luxury, where the hand-picked, firstclass hotels are as much a part of the experience as the destinations.

Although guests might pay slightly more than for a standard escorted tour, with so much included, Grand America Coast to Coast provides incredible value. Consider what it encompasses - flights, transfers, rail travel, first class hotels, all breakfasts, a great selection of meals, all the sightseeing and spectacular excursions, three scenic flights, even hotel porterage – far more than you’ll find with other companies. Up to three nights are spent in some of the destinations, allowing guests to immerse themselves in local culture, rather than simply observe like passers-by. And, unlike with a traditional escorted tour, guests have considerable flexibility to tailor this uniquely spectacular holiday to their individual needs. For example, they can take direct flights to New York from any of five UK airports, at no extra cost - while Scenic FreeChoice provides a range of included excursions and activities to choose from in many of the destinations visited. With the dollar still providing great value, America is an absolute must-see. And on this Grand American journey from Scenic Tours, you’ll discover all that’s best about this great land ‘across the Pond’, in fully-inclusive luxury where there are no hidden extras – just hidden gems and incredible memories created every day. Grand America Coast to Coast is the ultimate way to see America. But if you’re California (and New York, Chicago, Vegas and Grand Canyon) dreaming, don’t leave it too long, as these spectacular, ground-breaking new tours are already filling up fast.
