Q: Where may I find information on bus tours from Denver to the East, such as New York or Washington, D.C., and also from Denver to the Southeast (Tennessee or the Carolinas)? — J. Horton
A: The areas you’re looking to explore aren’t usually looped into tours from Denver. If you’re determined to explore by bus, the most economical way to get there is to take a Greyhound from Denver () and then use another tour experience from there.
For the most part, tours are arranged by region, so multi-day bus tours of the East and South start from somewhere not too far from there — and so an escorted coach tour of Tennessee or the Carolinas with Tours in USA () starts in Atlanta or New Orleans, and New York and Washington, D.C., journeys with Tours4Fun () will take you from one of those cities to the other, but first you have to get there from Denver. A Riley Bus tour () in April leaves from Chicago to explore New York and D.C.
United States Tours () also offers sightseeing tours around major city areas, as well as some city-to-city jaunts, such as New York to Boston.
Another option is to get to your destination and take a shorter tour with Grayline () for a more comprehensive look. “Grayline covers literally thousands of cities on six continents,” says Kristin Barnes, marketing manager for Grayline. “For each city, you can often see a pretty large surrounding area. So for instance, with Denver, you can get as far as Aspen or Rocky Mountain National Park. In places like New York or the South, there can be 40 or 50 options for things to see and do.”
