Escorted touring specialist Distant Journeys has launched its first ever US programme for 2026.
From California’s golden coast to the musical Deep South and the wild beauty of America’s national parks, a choice of three very different tours are on offer.
Whether you want to travel by horse-drawn wagon to a
country-style feast on a working ranch in Montana or spend an evening celebrating country music at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, each trip is packed full of memorable experiences.
All tours are designed to combine the camaraderie of group travel with ‘freedom days’ that allow individuals to tailor the trip to best suit their personal interests.
A new 16-day Sights & Sounds of the Deep South tour uncovers a rich tapestry of music and history, visiting the southern states of Georgia, North and South Carolina, Tennessee, Louisiana and Mississippi. A stay in Memphis will provide the opportunity to walk in the footsteps of the King himself at Graceland and explore the city where rock ‘n’ roll was born.
Travel the length of California and you will find a state full of contrasts. The new 16-day The Very Best of California tour weaves its way from the cosmopolitan charm of San Francisco to the laid-back elegance of San Diego and explores natural and cultural highlights – from Yosemite’s granite cliffs and the star-studded streets of Hollywood to iconic landmarks including San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge and the famous Hollywood sign.
From standing at the edge of the Grand Canyon, taking in this incredible natural spectacle, to witnessing the sheer power of Yellowstone’s famed ‘Old Faithful’ geyser, America’s Spectacular National Parks tour showcases the vast, rugged landscapes, the raw power of nature and some of the finest national park.
