New tours from TrekAmerica
TrekAmerica has revamped its Plus Tours range and added two new tours for music lovers, taking in Mardi Gras and Jazz Fest in New Orleans.
Its new 2018/19 brochure, out now, includes 11 Plus Tours, stretching from San Francisco or Los Angeles across the States to New York. Durations range from nine to 23 days.
Clients can book shorter tours or bolt on extra chunks to extend their visit. Whereas TrekAmerica’s ‘original’ tours offer r accommodation in campsites or budget lodging, Plus Tours offer hotel, motel or luxury hostel accommodation and an extra night at the start of the trip.
Its new Big Easy Music Festival Tour starts at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, departing on May 3, 2018, and the new Mardi Gras and Sunshine State Tour departs on March 2, 2019, in time to catch the city’s Fat Tuesday celebrations. Both then take guests on a road trip to Florida, taking in beach resorts, Orlando’s theme park and Miami.
