The essence of travelling with Little America
Why we do things the way we do them
Little America was founded on the same vision that inspired TravelEssence more than 20 years ago, when Andrew Morton set out to create more personal and meaningful ways to explore the world.
Born from a passion for the vast natural beauty, warm hospitality, and rich local cultures of North America, Little America focuses on small, authentic accommodation where hosts know their surroundings inside out and are happy to share their stories.
Our approach goes beyond sightseeing. We create journeys that foster a genuine connection with the places you visit and the people who call them home. This way, your trip through Canada and the United States becomes not just a visit, but a truly enriching experience.

Insider knowledge that transforms your trip
By working with small-scale local guides, hosts and partners, you’re able to tap into a wealth of insider knowledge, avoid unnecessary detours, and discover Canada and the USA from a fresh perspective. One that’s filled with spectacular landscapes, relaxed and comfortable stays, and truly memorable experiences.
When visiting countries this big, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, but with years of experience, expert knowledge and the sort of local information most people aren’t privy to, we can bring your dream North American adventure within easy reach.
Our network is like a family, and our customers get very well looked after. From securing you the newest rental cars and SUVs, to welcoming hosts that go the extra mile on every stay, we’re able to shape your holiday into one that allows you to experience everything this spectacular, wild, and naturally stunning part of the world has to offer.

Frequently asked questions
We specialise in tailor-made holidays to the USA and Canada, rather than selling off-the-shelf package holidays. Our difference is in the combination of first-hand destination knowledge, slower routes, small-scale stays, a network of local partners, and detailed planning. We also work directly with our suppliers, and they love welcoming Little America guests.
We recommend slow travel because the USA and Canada are too large to enjoy properly at a rushed pace. Staying longer in fewer places gives you more time to explore, reduces unnecessary one-night stops, and helps your holiday feel more relaxed, personal and memorable. Slow travel is also beneficial for the environment because often it means less fuel consumption.
Yes, local knowledge is central to how we plan. All our travel specialists have lived, worked, and extensively travelled through the USA and Canada. Not only this, but they return across the pond every year to visit our suppliers, seek out hidden gems, and gather more first-hand experience they can bring to planning your holiday.
