NORTH AMERICA TOURS & CUSTOM TRIPS

From Manhattan’s world-class museums and skyline to Brooklyn’s neighborhoods and waterfront, New York rewards a flexible city break. Leave time for a museum, a live show, and the local food scene.

In western Canada, Lake Louise and the Icefields Parkway offer glacier-fed lakes, mountain views and access to Banff and Jasper national parks. Plan for changing weather and allow extra time for hikes and scenic stops.

Explore Mexico City’s historic center, museums and celebrated food scene, then discover Oaxaca’s markets, craft traditions and regional cuisine. A thoughtful itinerary balances major sights with time to meet local guides and enjoy each place at an unhurried pace.

Pair San Francisco’s neighborhoods and waterfront with the cliffs and coves of Big Sur or the beaches farther south. Highway distances are longer than they look on a map; build in time for viewpoints, short walks and overnight stops.

Explore Mérida’s plazas and regional cuisine, visit archaeological sites with a qualified local guide, and cool off in the peninsula’s cenotes. The Caribbean coast adds time for swimming and relaxed beach days; plan transfers carefully and protect time from the midday heat.

Stand at the rim of the Grand Canyon, then connect nearby desert landscapes such as Zion and Monument Valley on a carefully paced road trip. Distances are substantial, and popular parks may require advance lodging or entry reservations; allow time for scenic stops, weather changes and local experiences.

Hawai‘i brings together volcanic landscapes, rainforest trails and Pacific shoreline. Choose an island or two rather than rushing between them; scenic drives and weather can make travel slower than the map suggests. Seek locally led cultural experiences, follow guidance on protected places, and visit with respect for Native Hawaiian communities and the land.

Take in the vast scale and changing colors of the Grand Canyon from its rim viewpoints. Stay for sunrise or sunset, when the light shifts across the layered cliffs, and add a short, suitable trail if conditions allow. Distances within the park are greater than they can appear, so plan transport, water and time outdoors in advance.

Leave time to explore beyond the best-known landmarks. North American cities bring together distinctive neighborhoods, museums, public markets and live arts, each with its own local character. Choose a few areas that interest you, use public transit or walk where practical, and make room for an unplanned café or gallery stop.

Explore North America through its food, from Mexico’s markets and regional specialties to neighborhood kitchens and seafood shacks across the United States and Canada. Ask local guides about ingredients, food traditions and dishes tied to the place you are visiting. A guided tasting or market walk is an easy way to discover new flavors and meet the people who make them.

A coastal drive can link lively city neighborhoods with ocean viewpoints, beaches and short walks. On California’s Pacific Coast Highway, treat the journey as the destination: check road conditions before setting out, allow extra time for stops, and avoid planning an overly long driving day. You can also build shorter coastal sections into a wider U.S. or Canada itinerary.

Mountain parks in western Canada offer trails for a range of experience levels, from short lakeside walks to longer hikes with big alpine views. Choose a route that fits your group, check current trail and weather conditions, and carry the essentials for changing mountain conditions. Give yourself time to pause at viewpoints rather than racing between parks.
