6 things Gen Y’s need to see in America

Agents sitting in the under 35 bracket, now is your time.

The TTC Great Escape is rolling out each of its itineraries, and Contiki is next to step up to the plate.

To get agents keen and buzzing for a bit of the Great Escape action over in the US, we’re sharing the top highlights of the trip aboard the Contiki train.

From hipster San Fran to the bright lights of Vegas, you’re in for a treat with this one! Here’s why you’ll love it:

Go hipster in San Fran

Nothing says trendy quite like jumping on a low rider and taking a cruise across the Golden Gate Bridge. Pair that with a stop off at North Beach where all the hot young things hang out and a ride in a cable car, and you’ve nailed your first day in San Fran.

Visit Fisherman’s Wharf

Pose with a celebrity wax figure, catch a shark feeding, or jump into a 3D interactive film. Salivate over fresh Dungeness crab served steaming hot at outdoor stands or some darn tasty chowder at one of the many seafood restaurants.

The wharf is your oyster.

Run wild and free in meadows

Yosemite Valley is brimming with mountains, rock formations, meadows, waterfalls and wildflowers, and you’ve got the chance to hike, bike or stroll through it all.

Cruise down The Strip in a limo

No better way to see the highs and lows of Vegas than from inside a limo, sipping champagne and playing some Katy Perry. Bring your camera, your party dress, and a whole lot of energy – this night won’t end early.

Helicopter over the Grand Canyon

You think you’ve seen the Grand Canyon, until you’ve seen it from the sky. Nothing beats a bird’s eye view of the majestic, mighty canyon, and on this trip, you’ve got that chance.

Hit the LA boardwalk

Before jetting home after your whirlwind adventure, you can’t pass up the chance to cruise down the boardwalk at Santa Monica Beach, or better yet, join all those funky people on boards and roller-blades and glide along toward Venice Beach.
