Cultural activities in America

The USA has excellent cultural experiences, from Indigenous-led tours and powwows to jazz, blues, food tours, art galleries, museums and historic neighbourhood walks. For most travellers, we suggest mixing one or two guided experiences into a self-drive route, so the story of each place sits alongside the landscapes.

One of the most meaningful ways to experience Indigenous culture in the USA is through Indigenous-led tours and experiences. We work with local guides and hosts who can share their traditions, stories and connection to the land first-hand, whether through guided walks, cultural activities or time spent on tribal lands.

Good cultural regions include New England for revolutionary history, the Southwest for Indigenous heritage and desert communities, the Deep South for blues, jazz and civil rights history, and the Pacific Northwest for food, art and creative cities. Our travel experts build experiences into your wider route based on your interests and travel style.
