Yes. Our solo trips in the USA are created for people travelling on their own. With an expert Holiday Director, planned itineraries and a welcoming group, it’s a relaxed way to enjoy a solo holiday: independently, but together.
Our USA travel packages typically include accommodation, transportation during the tour, selected meals, and a range of excursions/experiences (inclusions vary by itinerary). You’ll also be supported throughout by a dedicated Holiday Director.
Group sizes vary by itinerary, but you’ll travel with a group of like-minded solo travellers. It’s sociable when you want it to be, with space to do your own thing too.
The USA is a year-round destination, so the best time to go depends on where you’re travelling and what you’d like to see. In general, spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November) are popular for comfortable sightseeing weather.
If your tour includes different regions, our Holiday Advisors can help you pick dates that balance pleasant temperatures with the experiences you’re most excited about.
Flights from London are typically around 8 hours to the East Coast and just over 11 hours to the West Coast (flight times vary by route and conditions).
If you plan to visit for up to 90 days, you typically won’t need a visa. However, you will need to apply for an ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization) under the Visa Waiver Program. Requirements can change, so it’s important to check the latest official guidance and apply in good time before you travel.
Before you book your adventure, ensure your passport meets validity rules. Check out our Travel Requirements and Visa Service page for more information.
The USA spans several time zones. Eastern Time is generally 5 hours behind the UK, Central Time 6 hours behind, Mountain Time 7 hours behind, and Pacific Time 8 hours behind. Alaska is usually 9 hours behind the UK, while Hawaii is usually 10 hours behind. Exact differences can vary slightly when clocks change for daylight saving.
Pack comfortable layers and supportive walking shoes. The USA covers multiple climates, and temperatures can change quickly between regions and even from day to night. A light jacket or cardigan is useful for air-conditioned coaches, hotels and indoor attractions.
You’ll need a US plug adaptor (the flat two-pin type used in North America).
The USA typically uses 110–120V, which is lower than the UK, so most modern phone and laptop chargers work fine, but it’s worth checking your device plug for ‘100–240V’ to be safe. A small adaptor with USB ports is also handy for overnight charging.
Tipping is a normal part of service culture in the USA, particularly in restaurants and for transport services.
In many restaurants, it’s common to tip around 15–20% if service isn’t already included, and you’ll often tip for things like hotel assistance.
It can feel different to the UK at first, but travellers quickly get used to it, plus your Holiday Director can help with what’s appropriate in different situations.
