Recently updated on January 17th, 2020 at 09:28 pm

Picture yourself exploring New York; not just the major sights and attractions; you’re going deep inside the city, discovering the places only locals know about, experiencing unique traditions and tasting the flavours (anyone for Ben & Jerry’s?). Now you’re in Canada’s Banff, soaking up the sensational scenery, mingling with the locals and dining on delicious Canadian cuisine. Pop over to South America’s Peru and see yourself lunching with a Peruvian family, immersed in the city’s atmosphere and delving into its colonial past.

If you’ve ever dreamed of not only seeing North and South America, but truly experiencing it, a Trafalgar guided holiday is for you.
