Wonders of both the natural and man-made variety are plentiful on a Just You-escorted USA holiday. Designed with the single traveller in mind our stunning range of tours offers something for everyone. In the company of Just You, travelling companions take a thrilling journey through some of the most glorious scenery on the American continent. Here are some of the highlights of the wonderful West Coast:

Coastal California

Start the day with a bracing walk along the iconic Santa Monica pier, which has served as an entertainment destination for more than 100 years. Why not step back to another era with a visit to a soda bar. After an afternoon amidst the charms of Spanish-influenced San Diego, relax with your Just You travelling companions on a dinner cruise around the bay. No visit to California is complete without a drive along the Pacific Coast Highway.

You’ll pass through the charming coastal town of Carmel where Clint Eastwood was once mayor and enjoy the delights of 17 Mile Drive and Pebble Beach too. The famous 17-Mile Drive follows the Monterey Peninsula coastline, where rugged Pacific shores, cypress trees and ocean views make this one of California’s most scenic stretches of road. Chic Santa Barbara is also the ideal spot for a Southern California overnight stay.

Awesome Arizona

Soak up the sunshine in the ‘Valley of the Sun’ and enjoy western hospitality, great food and the company of fellow single travellers at a traditional steakhouse. This is surely the perfect way to spend an Arizona evening on a Just You holiday. Take the opportunity to explore the red sandstone landscape by jeep too. Arizona’s desert scenery is characterised by dramatic mesas, buttes and sandstone formations, with colours that can shift from deep red to orange as the light changes throughout the day.

The glories of the Grand Canyon

Gaze in awe at the spectacular 14-mile-wide gorge that is the Grand Canyon. Carved over millions of years by the Colorado River and the forces of erosion, the canyon exposes layers of rock that reveal an extraordinary geological history stretching back almost two billion years.

For another dimension why not take a scenic optional flight high above this jaw-dropping natural wonder. Whilst you are there contemplate this extraordinary fact; you could fit the world’s population into the Grand Canyon and still have room to spare.

Viva Las Vegas

Step into the lavish interiors of the hotels that line the strip and you will be transported into another world. One minute you could be in ancient Rome, the next amidst the pyramids of Egypt or even standing under the Eiffel Tower. Don’t be surprised if you see a volcano erupting or even a Venetian gondolier drifting past. Anything is possible in Las Vegas. Join a Just You evening tour and enjoy some of the treasures of this dazzling mecca of entertainment with fellow single travellers.

Hello San Francisco

“I left my heart in San Francisco” sang Tony Bennett and once you have visited the city by the bay don’t be surprised if you leave your heart too. From your first sighting of the iconic Golden Gate Bridge you are sure to enjoy every moment of your stay. Completed in 1937, the Golden Gate Bridge stretches across the entrance to San Francisco Bay, connecting the city with Marin County and becoming one of the most recognisable landmarks in the United States.

On a Just You tour we’ll ensure you see the best of San Francisco; you’ll also have plenty of free time to make your own discoveries too. A ride on a cable car is not to be missed and a stroll through Chinatown is a feast for all the senses. If you are missing your fellow single travellers you can always join one of our optional excursions. The Escape from the Rock Cruise, Cirque Du Soleil show and a thrilling helicopter ride are some of the exciting experiences on offer.

With a Holiday Director on hand throughout and the company of fellow single travellers why not make America’s Western Wonders your next travelling adventure?
