Escorted bus tours are an affordable way of exploring the United States, especially with its size and abundance of famous sites and cities. Escorted bus tours in the US range from tours of certain areas, such as the west or the northeast, to cross-country sojourns. Tours generally visit both natural landscapes and large cities, though many tours cater to one or the other to meet participant interests.
