Group trips in North America

Spring (April-June) and fall (September-October) offer mild temperatures and colorful autumn foliage; summer is ideal for national parks and the coasts, while winter is perfect for skiing in the Rocky Mountains.

10-12 days are enough to explore one coast, such as New York and the East Coast; for a wider road trip across several states or between the US and Canada, plan at least 3 weeks.

Citizens of many countries, including the Schengen area, can enter the United States visa-free with the ESTA authorization and Canada with the eTA, both to be requested online before departure; a valid passport is also required.

Among the most popular stops are:

• New York
• San Francisco
• National parks like Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon
• Hawaii
• In Canada, the Rocky Mountains and Niagara Falls

The United States uses the US dollar (USD) and Canada the Canadian dollar (CAD); credit cards are widely accepted everywhere, even for small payments.

Budget is generally medium-high: plan for $110-200 per person per day for accommodation, meals, and transport, with cities like New York and San Francisco among the most expensive.

Renting a car is the most convenient way to explore national parks and rural areas, domestic flights quickly connect major cities, while public transport is very efficient in metropolises like New York or Toronto.

The climate varies enormously: continental across most of the US and Canada, with cold, snowy winters in the north, subtropical in Florida and the south, and desert-like in areas such as Arizona and Nevada.
