US, 25 Days · Tailor-made by car
Weeks of adventure lie ahead during which you'll visit amazing places that show the true dimension of the American Civil War. You'll get to see some of the most memorable civil war sites in the country: Vicksburg, Shiloh, Gettysburg, Appomattox, Harpers Ferry, Antietam and Bentonville, where you'll discover anecdotes behind the sieges, the military strategy, the characters and their stories, which will give you a unique insight into the conflict and trigger some thought-provoking sensations. We've designed a circular tour for you that begins and ends in the tourist resort of Pensacola, in the heart of the Florida Panhandle. Cross the southern states of Alabama and Mississippi, delving into the origins of the blues and savouring the delicious culinary traditions. Mountain routes famous for their scenic treasures, such as the Trace Parkway, Cherahola Skyway or Blue Ridge Parkway, are another of the great attractions of this tour. Drive through Tennessee and West Virginia up to Gettysburg and head back via Manassas, Richmond, Petersburg, Charleston and, finally, Andersonville. Combine your passion for driving with American history and cities oozing character and tradition. Get packing now as ahead lies a truly unique journey that will change your vision of America forever.

Thinking about you
Promotions and deals designed especially for you.
- Tips in US are a common practice.
- Generally in US the accommodation in the triple rooms have two double beds or one double and one single bed and the quadruple accommodation has two double beds.
- Driving in the USA: 1.Overtaking on the right is not only legal but everyone does it. And the sooner you get used to roads with more than five lanes, the better. 2.It is legal (and mandatory) to turn right on a red light when there is a signal to do so. 3. With regard to parking, make sure you check when you can park on the street and never park in front of a fire hydrant (even though there are no signs prohibiting it). If there are lines painted on the road to mark out parking spaces, leave the car right in the middle of them, however huge the gap may seem. Be especially careful in the centre of big cities and don't let the parking meter go over by even one minute (check before paying because there are days of the week or certain times when you don't have to pay). 4.Beware of tolls. They will be indicated with the words toll or turnpike and don't usually have a barrier, so you can drive through them without realising and then receive a fine a few weeks later. Don't drive in FasTrak Only lanes and make sure you have some cash on you, as some tolls are cash-only. 5.Unless you want a ticket and a stern chat from a Highway Patrol Officer, it's best not to drive more than five or ten miles above the maximum speed allowed for the road. If the police end up stopping you, keep your hands on the steering wheel and in sight at all times and don't even think about trying to be funny. 6.We recommend signing up to roadside assistance services and a GPS when you hire a car.
- Consult the entry restrictions and additional requirements for people who have previously traveled to destinations such as Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Yemen, Syria, etc.
- Hotels may charge a Resort Fee charge that must be paid directly at the destination. The amount can vary between approximately $15 and $65 per room per night. This charge is indicative and may be modified depending on the establishment's policy.
- Check-in time at the hotel on the day of arrival depends on each establishment, but in no case will it be before 3:00 p.m., unless otherwise indicated.
- The proposed excursions and tours for each day are purely suggestions, as you can tailor the trip to suit your times, tastes and needs.
- A credit card is considered a guarantee, so sometimes you will need one for check-in at hotels.
- Hotels usually have cots available. Otherwise, babies will have to share a bed with an adult.
- To pick up your rental car, you'll need a credit (not debit) card in the name of the person who made the booking, who must also be the named driver of the vehicle.
- Consult the necessary documentation to enter the destinations visited and for transit in the countries where air stopovers are made.
- You must give notice that you are going to cross the border while collecting the vehicle. Authorisation may be required to drive through certain countries or areas/states (as is the case in the US and Canada). Depending on the conditions set out in the rental contract and the company hired, you might be charged a surcharge payable at the destination office.
