We understand that you're looking for tour options that cater to older travelers similar to Contiki's offerings. While we don't have the exact same itinerary as Contiki, we do have open-age sister brands that provide fantastic travel experiences starting in Los Angeles. One option I can recommend is the Road Trip USA Coast to Coast tour with Costsaver. This tour offers an option to start in Los Angeles and will take you through Dallas Fort Worth, although it does conclude in New York. Additionally, we encourage you to check out our other open-age sister brands, which include: Trafalgar, Insight Vacations, Brendan Vacations, Luxury Gold.

Is it possible to fly one day earlier? And do you know if there is an airport? Maybe the shuttle could bring me near the airport?

Yes, you may leave your trip early. We can make a note of this on your booking so that your trip manager will be aware. However, please note that leaving early won't change the price of your trip. Additionally, your arrival airport is Los Angeles International (LAX) and departure is Dallas Fort Worth International (DFW). Please be aware that transfers are not available through Contiki.

Wanted to check if I can skip the last destination as I need to get back on 15th..also alternatively do you have any departures for early Oct for a similar duration?

That is totally fine if you need to leave the trip early, but you will need to inform us in advance. We have the following trips with departures in early October: North Queensland Adventure, Sweet as South, Northern Choice, Moroccan Adventure, England and Scotland, and Real Sicily.

Super itinerary and well worth what you pay. Really long drive days (which is understandable considering how much you get to see in such a short time).

TM made the trip as amazing as it was - she had a great deal of knowledge and the best recommendations. Really long drive days (which is understandable considering how much you get to see in such a short time) and the coach wasn't the cosiest or cleanest. Altogether, super itinerary and well worth what you pay.Show more
