Our Guides
From New York's skyscrapers to the Canadian Rockies and American coastal roads: personalized itineraries built for the big North American scale.
North America suits intense city breaks as well as multi-week road trips. Whether you're planning a USA road trip along the West Coast, a Canada itinerary through the Rockies, a New York city stay, a Florida escape or a blazing fall in Vermont, every tailor-made trip is calibrated to real-world pacing.
Distances, car rental logistics, the best weather windows: our guides cover everything a North American road trip demands, with a dog-friendly option on most routes. We've also included Costa Rica here, in Central America (geographically part of the North American continent), as there is no dedicated page for that region yet.
Every guide is written and kept up to date by the TripCompanion team: a day-by-day itinerary, an indicative budget, the best time to go and curated addresses. They are starting points: each trip is then built tailor-made with you. Learn more about TripCompanion.
"We booked tickets for a match at MetLife Stadium barely two months before the tournament started. Amélie found us a place in Jersey City, way cheaper than anything in Manhattan, and a plan for watching the other matches without getting crushed by the crowds."
Lucas — Trip to New York — World Cup"I wanted a real city trip, not just ticking off the Empire State Building and Times Square. Amélie built me an itinerary with neighbourhoods I'd never have explored on my own. Five packed days that never felt rushed."
Valère — Trip to New YorkApril to October offers the best weather for a West Coast road trip and its national parks.
June to September is the recommended period for a road trip in Western Canada and the Rockies.
Peak foliage usually runs from late September to mid-October, which is the window our 4-day guide targets.
Our guides range from 4 days (Vermont in fall) to 14 days (Western Canada, Costa Rica), with 5 days for a New York city break, 8 days for Florida's Gulf Coast and 12 days for a US West Coast road trip.
The indicative budgets in our guides range from roughly €700 to €1,100 for 4 days in Vermont up to €2,900 to €3,400 for 14 days in Western Canada. Each guide details the range for its itinerary.
Yes, most of our routes include a dog-friendly option: accommodation and activities that accept dogs, with or without a four-legged companion.
We adapt the itinerary (dog-friendly accommodation, compatible activities, travel logistics). Entry requirements (identification, vaccinations, certificates) depend on the country and change over time: check them with the official authorities before booking.
Costa Rica is in Central America, which is geographically part of the North American continent. We present it here because there is no dedicated Central America page yet.
TripCompanion looks at your criteria (budget, pace, group size, whether you travel with a dog) to build the itinerary, choose the stops and find the right addresses.
These guides are starting points. Every trip is then built tailor-made, around your wishes, your pace and your budget.
