Signature Small Group Tours in the Americas

Explore

Where to begin when it comes to a holiday to the Americas? It can be hard to know where to go, let alone what to do to make it a really special trip. Enter – Signature Tours in the Americas.

There’s something for everyone on this diverse continent. There's the cultural tapestry of South America, where we include Signature experiences like trips to the Mindo Cloud Forest of Ecuador, and a train journey to Machu Picchu in Peru  

Or the laidback charm of the Caribbean and Central America, including dreamy Costa Rica where we have a night of stargazing planned, as well as a trip to Las Pumas Wildlife Rescue Centre and Sanctuary where you can learn about the protection of five species of wildcat. 

How about the intriguing USA, where each state has its own unique identity – think following in the footsteps of world-famous country stars, or going behind the scenes of TV show Dallas?  

Alternatively, take a trip to visit their friendly neighbours to the north in warm and welcoming Canada, where we really showcase the country’s natural beauty. See the Canadian Rockies, and take to the skies on a seaplane ride high above Vancouver, before hopping on a ship to explore Alaska. 

If all of that that wasn’t tantalising enough, Signature Tours also have an average group size 22 people, so you’ve got a more intimate experience as you explore and you can get to know your guide and fellow travellers better.
