The Soul of USA
8 Days / 7 Nights
Discover the best of the American West in just 8 days. This guided group tour takes you from the glamour of Hollywood to the neon lights of Las Vegas, with a string of national parks in between. Start in Los Angeles with a guided city tour of the Hollywood Sign, the Walk of Fame, Grauman's Chinese Theatre, and historic Olvera Street. Then head into the desert, where an Old West mining town and some of the country's most famous landscapes are waiting.
Stand at the edge of the Grand Canyon, a gorge carved by the Colorado River that is 450 km long and more than 1,800 meters deep. See the red buttes of Monument Valley, made famous by classic Hollywood westerns. Walk through Antelope Canyon, where the sandstone walls glow violet and orange in the light. Then see the colorful hoodoos of Bryce Canyon and the sheer red-and-white cliffs of Zion. Along the way, you'll visit Calico Ghost Town, a relic of the 1880s Silver Rush, and spend two nights in Las Vegas, the Entertainment Capital of the World.
A multilingual guide travels with you the whole way, and every detail is handled for you: 4-star hotels, daily breakfast, comfortable transport, hotel porterage, and all national park and tribal park entrance fees. It's an easy and rewarding way to see the West's most iconic sights in one trip.

Itinerary Journey
8 Days / 7 Nights
Day 1: Arrival - Los Angeles
Los Angeles
Make your way to the Hilton Los Angeles Airport Hotel using the airport shuttle. Here's how to find it (and please always check the hotel list on our website to confirm the hotel name): From the arrival level, head up to the departure level and follow the signs for "Hotel & Courtesy Shuttles." Once you're outside the airport, look for the "Hotel & Private Parking Shuttle" sign, where you can board the shuttle that takes you directly to your hotel. Overnight at the hotel.
Day 2: Los Angeles Tour
Los Angeles
Grab & Go breakfast. The story of Los Angeles began in 1781, when 44 pobladores travelled over a thousand miles from central New Spain (modern-day Mexico) to establish a farming community they named "El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Ángeles de Porciúncula." Over the years, this settlement grew under the flags of Spain, Mexico, and finally the United States to become one of the largest and most culturally diverse cities in the world — the City of Los Angeles. Much of the city's charm is linked to the legends and history of cinema and entertainment, which is why its most famous district is Hollywood, home to countless iconic attractions. Among them are the storied Hollywood Sign, which has watched over the city for more than 100 years; the Hollywood Walk of Fame, with its 2,000-plus embedded stars honouring film-industry greats and celebrities; and Grauman's Chinese Theatre, famous for the celebrity hand and footprints set into the cement of its forecourt. Olvera Street, the oldest part of Downtown Los Angeles, forms part of the El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historic Monument, where several 19th-century buildings still stand today. The tour concludes in Hollywood; rather than returning to the hotel, the bus continues with the optional excursion "Los Angeles by the Beach," offering a chance to enjoy the beautiful beaches and Santa Monica. Overnight stay. Accommodations at the hotel.
Meals: Breakfast
Day 3: Los Angeles - Las Vegas
Los Angeles > Las Vegas
Enjoy a Grab & Go breakfast, then set off at 8:15 am from the Hilton Los Angeles Airport Hotel* toward Las Vegas, with a multilingual guide accompanying the group throughout the entire tour. Along the way, step back in time at Calico Ghost Town, a captivating glimpse into an Old West mining town that once thrived with hundreds of mines during the 1880s Silver Rush, producing millions of dollars in silver. From there, we're swept into the vibrant, almost surreal world of Las Vegas, where dazzling neon lights and extravagant hotel architecture dazzle at every turn. In the Entertainment Capital of the World, the sky's the limit! Optional in Las Vegas: Lights & Dream Night Tour. *Be sure to reconfirm the hotel name by checking the hotel list loaded on our website. Settle in for the night at your hotel.
Meals: Breakfast
Day 4: Las Vegas - Grand Canyon - Williams
Las Vegas > Grand Canyon > Williams
Grab & Go breakfast, then an early departure for the breathtaking Grand Canyon, one of the greatest wonders of the world. Carved by the Colorado River, this immense gorge runs some 450km long, over 1,800 meters deep, and up to 29km wide; its sheer scale and vibrant colours leave every visitor speechless. Enjoy time to explore the park, take pictures, or relax. Overnight at the Williams Hotel.
Meals: Breakfast
Day 5: Grand Canyon - Monument Valley - Page
Grand Canyon > Monument Valley > Page
After a buffet breakfast, we set off early and continue through Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park, where colourful red buttes and spires tower hundreds of feet above the valley floor. One of the most remarkably beautiful landscapes in the world, it was recognised early on by Hollywood as a stunning backdrop for many classic John Ford films, as well as other favourites such as Thelma & Louise and Forrest Gump. Be sure not to miss your chance to capture an amazing photo of Monument Valley! (Optional Jeep Tour). We then travel on to Page. Accommodations provided at the hotel.
Meals: Breakfast
Day 6: Page - Antelope Canyon - Bryce Canyon
Page > Antelope Canyon > Bryce Canyon
Enjoy a buffet breakfast before setting off early to visit the magnificent Antelope Canyon. Though less famous than the Grand Canyon, this natural wonder — carved from sandstone by the wind and water that formed its walls — is beloved for its red rocks in violet and orange hues and for the stunning effects of light that fill it. We then continue to Bryce Canyon, where the wonderfully strange beauty of the American West reveals itself: colourful rocks and pinnacles shaped by erosion, an amphitheatre of needles whose colours shift from day to day — from yellow to orange, from pink to red or purple. We'll spend the night at the hotel.
Meals: Breakfast
Day 7: Bryce Canyon - Las Vegas
Bryce Canyon > Las Vegas
Enjoy a buffet breakfast before heading off early to Zion, a fascinating park where the Virgin River has carved its bed among solid, overhanging rocks. A deep gorge awaits, framed by the bright red and white colours of its majestic walls — rocks sculpted by the sheer power of the river's waters. We then make our way to Las Vegas and your hotel, where a free night lets you explore Sin City and discover exactly why it's known as the Entertainment Capital of the World! We'll spend the night at the hotel.
Meals: Breakfast
Day 8: Departure
Las Vegas > Los Angeles
Start your day with a Grab & Go breakfast, then depart early for Los Angeles Airport, where you'll arrive at approximately 2:00 pm, marking the end of the tour. We hope you've enjoyed the journey!
