The most appropriate and ever-so-practical tour to take!
It's a given that touring USA and Canada is no mean feat, with all the big rides that span the interesting destinations. Joining ExpatExplore's tour of the US and Canada was a very practical decision and our friends and relatives were amazed at the wide extent of beautiful places we covered in below 15 days. Our tour leader was also THE expert information source for all the places we visited...and even the places we passed through.

Amazing Holiday - exceeded our expectation
15 days Trip of Eastern USA and Canada Escape (incl. New York) this trip was memorable we have seen more than we expected. The tour leader Larry is very well experienced, knows the ins and out of the locations. Our group was really nice people and it made so much difference in the day to day travel. We love the places included on the itinerary, so much history we learnt about USA and Canada. The trip is so worth money spent, and will treasure the memories forever. Anyone who are planning to do this trip my only advise is to get ready to do lots of walking and enjoy every minute of it.

The 16days USA / Canada tour was interesting and exciting, with many highlights, including nature hikes in Canada, to exploring the streets of major cities and learning about their politics and regional history. Adventure activities included a helicopter flight over Niagara Falls and a boat trip into the magnificent Horseshoe Falls at Niagara, hiking through Flume Gorge and Montmorency Falls in Quebec. Our tour leader Larry, made each day interesting and fun, with his abundant local knowledge and keen sense of humour. Other personal highlights for me were visiting Washington, Alexandria, Quebec City, Detroit and making friends along the way with my fellow adventurers. Many thanks to Larry for all you did for us and a special shout out to Leo, our Driver, for his driving skills and keeping us safe, much appreciated!
