      We would like to inform you that halal food can be arranged during the tour, however it is important that this is clearly stated in your dietary requirements in advance so we can inform the suppliers accordingly.

      Regarding Indian vegetarian food, please note that this cannot be guaranteed throughout the tour, as meal options vary depending on local restaurants and destinations. However, vegetarian options are generally available, and our team will always assist in providing suitable alternatives where possible.

    do you price match? We noticed another company doing the exact same tour but is $2000 cheaper?

    Price / Availability

      The price listed on TourRadar is the same as ours, as we are the tour operator. Could you please clarify which company you found offering the exact same tour, and which pricing you're referring to where it appears $2,000 cheaper? It may be a mistake, or the offer may differ in inclusions.

    Asked on April 23rd, 2025

    Would we have our on room or share with another party? Do you sale travel insurance with the package as well

    Accommodation
    Travel Support
    • Travel TalkOperator•Written April 2025

      The hotel room would be just for you and your wife—you will not be sharing with another party. It will be a private room for the two of you throughout the trip. Travel Talk does not provide insurance directly, but if you're booking through TourRadar, they do offer travel insurance options you can include with your package.

      Richard

      Traveler•Written May 2025

      Is it possible to have rooms reserved for King beds and/handicapped?

    • Travel TalkOperator•Written May 2025

      Yes, it is possible to request rooms with king beds. Once your booking is confirmed, simply send us a message with your room arrangement preference and we'll do our best to accommodate it. However, please note that we cannot guarantee rooms specifically equipped for handicapped accessibility, as not all accommodations on our tours offer these facilities.

    Monique

    Asked on April 8th, 2025

    I'm interested in this trip and would be traveling alone. I'm 25 years old and was wondering if there are usually younger participants like me, or is that rather uncommon? Is the trip mostly booked by couples, or is it also suitable for solo travelers? I've been looking into other trips as well, some of which are limited to the 18–39 age range. However, what I don't like about those is that they don't include a private room, which is something very important to me. So, if you don't mind me asking so directly: is this more of a senior trip, or would it also be a good fit for someone like me?

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • Travel TalkOperator•Written April 2025

      This tour is open to travellers of all ages and is not specifically designed for seniors, so you can definitely expect a diverse mix of participants. While the age range can vary, it's not uncommon at all for solo travelers in their 20s to join—and many do! It's a great option if you're looking to explore while also having your own space. Since you're travelling solo, a private room is actually mandatory to be added to your booking, so you'll absolutely have that comfort and privacy.

    • M

      Monique

      Traveler•Written April 2025

      Thank you for the quick response! That sounds great, especially with the single room. Just to clarify, for my trip in September with a single room, the price would be $4,230, correct? I noticed there's an option for a private room for $6,000, Thats why I am a little bit confused.

    • Travel TalkOperator•Written April 2025

      The full cost of the tour including the single private room is indeed USD 6443. If it is suitable for you, you may proceed with your booking.

    Tour Details

      The tour Starts in New York City, USA and Ends in San Francisco, USA. No international flights for arrival and departure included unfortunately.

    Renee

    Asked on December 30th, 2024

    Could you please provide the approximate distances traveled per day during the tour? Are there any reviews available for this adventure that you could share with us? For the days when breakfast is not included, is there an option to arrange breakfast, and if so, what would the cost be?

    Meals
    Tour Details
    • Travel TalkOperator•Written December 2024

      The tour covers various destinations each day, with distances varying significantly depending on the route. For example, distances range from shorter city-to-city drives (like New York to Philadelphia) to longer stretches (like Chicago to Sioux Falls). You may find reviews for this adventure online through platforms like Google, Trustpilot, or similar travel review sites. For days when breakfast is not included, your tour guide can assist you in finding breakfast options nearby. The cost will depend on the location and establishment but generally ranges from budget-friendly to more premium options.
