7-Day North America Tour Packages
Think you can cover North America in a week? Obviously not—the continent's massive, but a week can show you one region, be it the West Coast, Southwest national parks, East Coast cities, Canadian Rockies, or Mexico's Yucatan. You're choosing between urban culture or natural landscapes or mixing both. Seven days works for focused regional exploration, including Los Angeles to San Francisco, New York to D.C., or Banff and Jasper.

7 Days in Canadian Rockies, incl. Banff and Jasper
Eight North American destinations across 2 countries await on this week-long adventure. Highlights include Banff's alpine nightlife, Jasper's wilderness, and Whistler's Olympic venues, with comfortable accommodations and expert guides.
- Day 1
Seattle to Kamloops
Leave Seattle early for the 7-hour drive north into British Columbia. Pack plenty of snacks and good music for the road. Stop at Bridal Veil Falls Provincial Park for a quick 15-minute walk to see the 197-foot falls. You'll reach Kamloops by late afternoon. Keep watching for wildlife in the Thompson River Valley. You might spot elk or bears along the way.
- Day 2
Yoho National Park to Banff
Start your Rockies adventure at Yoho National Park. Get to Emerald Lake before 10 AM to avoid tour buses. You can walk the full lake circuit in 90 minutes or take a shorter stroll along the northwestern shore for beautiful reflections. After crossing the Continental Divide at Kicking Horse Pass you'll arrive in Banff. The evening is perfect for exploring the restaurants along Banff Avenue.
- Day 3
Lake Louise and Moraine Lake
Aim to reach Lake Louise by 7 AM to experience its peaceful waters before crowds arrive. Canoe rentals cost about $110 CAD per hour. Book ahead in summer. If you like hiking try the Lake Agnes Tea House trail for great views. One visitor shared: "The Plain-of-Six-Glaciers hike was challenging but worth every step." Visit Moraine Lake later in the day when the light makes the Valley of Ten Peaks look incredible.
- Day 4
Icefields Parkway to Jasper
Today showcases some of the best scenery on the Icefields Parkway. Stop at Bow Lake and Peyto Lake. Plan about 3 hours for the Columbia Icefield if you want to do both the glacier walk and Skywalk. A helpful tip from another traveler: "Dress in layers and wear sturdy shoes with grip for the glacier walk. It gets surprisingly cold on the ice even in summer."
- Day 5
Jasper National Park
Spend your morning exploring Jasper. The Maligne Canyon trails and bridges need about 2 hours to explore properly. Rent bikes in town for a different perspective. The Jasper Park Lodge loop is fairly easy and offers beautiful mountain views. Later drive to Clearwater on the Yellowhead Highway. Look for Mount Robson on clear days. It's the highest peak in the Rockies.
- Day 6
Clearwater to Whistler
A long drive through changing landscapes brings you to Whistler. Spend the afternoon in this former Olympic village. Take the Peak 2 Peak Gondola between Whistler and Blackcomb mountains. Try to time your ride for sunset in summer.
- Day 7
Sea to Sky Highway to Vancouver/Seattle
The Sea to Sky Highway offers stunning views. Stop at places like Porteau Cove for photos. In Vancouver walk or bike Stanley Park's seawall (2 hours walking 1 hour biking). Important advice from travelers: "If ending in Seattle prepare for a long final day. It's about 3 hours from Vancouver to Seattle plus border crossing time can be unpredictable."

The scenic portion was excellent. Mike Brown was excellent. The seating in the van was tight for so many hours. We only had 9 and I couldn’t imagine 14 in van. The HoJo in Vancouver is not very good. Old, moldy and broken at best

I took a guided tour from New York City to Quebec City with the Europomundo tour group. I knew it would be mostly in Spanish and although I know that I didn't get a full translation in English and/or facts and figures were made up along the way, it did not diminish from the enjoyment I had undertaking the tour. I was not the only Spanish speaker in the group, which was good. I thought the local tours were good, although the local guide in Montreal was a far-left, climate-change disciple, which I did not appreciate. Tour guides are employed to provide information not opinions. The guides we had in Boston and Quebec City were excellent and their bi-lingual content was well-delivered. The main guide, Jeanette was friendly, had a happy disposition, and was available to everyone, and our bus driver, Anna, was also excellent, ensuring we got to our destinations safely. Overall, the tour was very good and I am glad I was able to have the opportunity to travel overland with a group from New York City to Quebec City on a group tour.

Well organised by Chris and Rachel, we were fortunate with the weather seeing this wonderful part of the world. Chris was very informative, and looked after us. Good company from my fellow travellers from America, Finland and UK, I was more than happy. This was my second tour with this company, so I knew what to expect. Considering what you could spend on seeing this part of the world, this tour was value for money.
