Guided Tours in the USA for Seniors

Summer 2008 offers a great opportunity to consider tours of our country.  Guided tours offer packages that are more economical than if you arrange your own travel plans and give the traveler the benefit of their company's research and experience.

TrekAmerica offers a multitude of travel opportunities in the USA and always with the services of a TrekAmerica tour leader.  Currently they are offering tours to sixteen of America's National Parks, giving the traveler the choice of either a single location or a tour combination of more than one national park.

This summer, TrekAmerica is offering an amazing six-week tour that will "circumnavigate the entire continental United States traveling coast to coast through the southern states and then traveling  through the northern states." This tour can originate either from New York or Los Angeles, and includes all transportation, admissions to all National Parks and Monuments and more. Their routes are carefully chosen and can vary dependent upon weather conditions and requests from the passengers.
