Road Trip USA

Anything goes in Vegas. Today’s options: go high with a heli-tour over The Strip, ride the High Roller Observation Wheel or swing by a shooting range. Just remember to save some energy for tonight – all of those casinos won’t visit themselves, you know.

From The Strip to the red stripes of the grandest of canyons. If you choose to take the chopper tour, you'll get a 360-degree view – or you could always stay grounded and hike the rim.

Hear stories from our Navajo guide on today’s Jeep tour of Monument Valley before tucking into a traditional Navajo lunch. Afterwards, it’s time to make tracks to Durango. Prepare for a taste of the simple life – we’ve got a ranch visit coming right up!

Ready for an adrenaline rush? Durango has some options for you. Take your pick from hiking, biking, horseriding or whitewater rafting on the Animas River. Tonight, there’s even an optional Chuckwagon Dinner Show (two words: singing cowboys).

Breaking Bad fans, rejoice: today we roll on to Heisenberg’s old stomping ground, Albuquerque. But first, we’ll make a pit stop at Santa Fe.

Time to get your graffiti on. Hit up Cadillac Ranch and go crazy with the spray paint on the way to Amarillo. Later: prepare to chow down Texas-style at the Big Texan Steak House.

Step into a real life Western movie as we pay a visit to the Fort Worth Historic Stockyards. Can we get a yee haw?

Today we’ll take a look at The Sixth Floor Museum: the spot where JFK was assassinated. Then, it’s off to Austin. We’ll drive you around to see the sights, then treat you to a slap-up Texan BBQ dinner.

A free day to spend your way. Fact: Austin’s slogan is ‘Keep Austin Weird’. Sounds like a challenge to us! Nudists, boot scooters, cheese makers and a cathedral of junk are just a few of the things you might see on your travels.

Take one giant leap for Topdecker-kind as we pay a visit to the Houston Space Center en route to Lake Charles. Later, prepare for rice, spice and all things nice as we sit down to some Cajun style cuisine.

First up: find your bearings in Baton Rouge on an orientation tour. Tonight, the legendary party vibes of Bourbon Street await us in New Orleans.

What’s it going to be today? You have a few options. Head out on a swamp tour, tantalise those taste buds with a cooking demo or sit back and drink in the scenery on a paddleboat cruise.

We're off to to Panama City Beach to seek out turquoise waters and sandy beaches. Spend the afternoon shopping, exploring or just plain lying around.

If Panama City Beach did the job of recharging your batteries, throw yourself into the nightlife at one of Florida Gulf Coast’s many beach bars. Whatever you do, enjoy this balmy bit of beachside heaven.

Bienvenidos a Miami, where the weather is hot and the characters are colourful. Ice cream-toned art deco buildings? Check. Beach vibes? Check. Driving tour? You bet.

Take a trip to Little Havana to people-watch in the cafés, stroll by the pretty pastel houses or attempt to dodge the Speedo-clad skaters at South Beach. If you’re feeling a need for speed, why not hop on an optional speedboat ride? Whatever you do, make sure to work up an appetite – we’ve got an authentic Cuban dinner to look forward to this evening.

Take an airboat tour, shoot across the Everglades and (almost) get tangled in the mangroves. This is the closest you’ll get to flying, without actually leaving the ground. After that, we’ll make a beeline for the candy floss and roller coasters of Orlando.

If you’ve got your swimmers, get splash-tastic at one of Orlando’s water parks or visit a galaxy that’s not so far, far away and check out the Star Wars attractions at Walt Disney World. If theme parks just aren’t your bag, there’s always wine bars, spas and shopping. Also an option: explore Kennedy Space Center.

Wave goodbye to the Magic Kingdom – you’re en route to the bona fide southern belle that is Savannah, so get ready to see plenty of 18th century buildings and dreamy tree-lined walkways. When you’re done looking around, why not have your own ‘life is like a box of chocolates’ moment at Forrest Gump’s bench?

Today’s optionals: slow the pace with a Slow Ride pub crawl, or get your spine tingling with a ghost tour (if you dare). Not to scare you, but Savannah is one of America's most haunted cities – so keep your eye out for spooks as you visit a selection of haunted and historic houses, all while hearing bone-chilling tales of of ghosts and ghouls.

Swap Savannah for North Carolina's biggest city. Take it easy with a stroll around Charlotte's museums and sample some old-school foodie classics, or opt in to go fast and furious on a Speedway tour.

In our sights today: the bright lights of the US capital. Tomorrow you’ll have the chance to explore Washington by day, but tonight it’s all about crossing the Potomac River into DC and enjoying an illuminated tour of the capital’s monuments. The White House at night is a sight not to be missed, trust us.

‘Gram yourself in front of some of the USA’s most iconic buildings, recreate famous movie moments, play spot the senator... Today you can get a real feel for the powerhouse that is DC. Get your bearings and tick off all the must-see places with an optional segway or bike tour. However you travel, this is the place to clue yourself up on all things American history and visit some of the many memorials, monuments and museums.

It's time to leave the capital behind for a pitstop in Philly, complete with - you guessed it - a driving tour. For a bird's eye view of the city, you can also choose to head up to the One Liberty Observation Deck. After Philadelphia, there's just one stop left: NYC, where we officially sign off from Topdecker duty. Sob.
