The Best Tours & Experiences in the USA

Most first trips to the States start in New York City, where ferries run out to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, food tours work through Chinatown, Little Italy and Greenwich Village, and a night on Broadway is a short walk from Times Square. Out west, Las Vegas is as much a base for the desert as it is for the Strip: bus, plane and helicopter trips reach the Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam in a day.

Down on the Gulf Coast, New Orleans pairs French Quarter walking tours, jazz clubs and cemetery and ghost tours with airboat rides through the swamps and bayous just outside the city.

In California, tours run from Hollywood and the beaches of Los Angeles and the harbor of San Diego to Alcatraz and the Golden Gate in San Francisco, with the wineries of Napa and Sonoma and the granite valley of Yosemite within a day's reach. Every tour we feature is Viator-verified, top-rated, and bookable with free cancellation.
