MAYFLOWER Discover the rich history and breathtaking landscapes right in our own backyard by embarking on a deluxe escorted vacation with Mayflower Tours, an organization whose cornerstone is stateside exploration. A specialist in unique, added-value experiences since 1979, nearly 30,000 adventurous travelers per year trust Mayflower Tours to take them on journeys that change the way they view the world around them. Tours through the United States are no exception. From the red walls of the Grand Canyon to the sky-grazing redwoods of California and the blazing foliage of autumnal New England, ours is a diverse and spectacular landscape. Here, luxuriously cosmopolitan cities vie with an unspoiled natural wilderness to capture your heart. Sparkling lakes in lush mountainsides and quaint seafaring towns caught in time quietly compete with the expansive grandeur of open plains and skies filled with hot air balloons. Feats of engineering like the Golden Gate Bridge rise against works of monumental art such as Mount Rushmore.

Tucson is a destination whose charm extends above the horizon, sitting in a valley that’s surrounded by four mountain ranges. The Santa Catalina Mountains’ cool air is a refreshing respite, and its 150 miles of scenic hiking trails take you from cactus-lined passes to pine forests and lakes high above. This mountain range’s Sabino Canyon is quite popular; you can swim in clear pools and walk where ancient irrigation dams flowed and mammoths roamed.
