Small-group city tours open

Expedition America opened early‑bird spots March 22 for immersive U.S. city tours that focus on hidden neighborhoods in New Orleans, Chicago and Austin with local experts — tours run in intimate groups of 16–24 and the operator says 500+ people joined in 2024. The program is pitched at travelers who want deep local color over cookie‑cutter sightseeing. (x.com)

Expedition America’s Austin itinerary is already listed on the company site for November 5–8, 2026 and includes South Congress shopping and murals, Congress Bridge bat viewing, Barton Springs and Hill Country winery stops; the page shows a live “Spots Left: 19 / 28” counter. (expeditionamerica.us) Several 2026 city pages show differing group caps rather than a single fixed size — Cumberland’s page uses a 24‑person cap (Spots Left: 20 / 24), Los Angeles pages list 28 total spots, and New York City pages show capacities up to 30, indicating per‑route limits in the mid‑20s to 30s. (expeditionamerica.us) The site’s About and product listings advertise tools called the “City Discoverer Companion,” an AI itinerary builder and a Live Agent Portal, signaling the operator packages curated itineraries alongside guided group departures. (expeditionamerica.us) Expedition America’s booking flow includes an online appointment/calendar interface for consultations and visible “Book My Spot” CTAs on event pages, which the company combines with live availability counters on individual tour pages. (appointment.expeditionamerica.us) Third‑party listings describe the operator as an LA‑headquartered tour provider (also referenced as EA Tour) with offices in cities including San Diego and New York, and TripAdvisor pages show a small set of recent reviews and company background notes. (crunchbase.com) The company’s 2026 schedule on public pages already stretches beyond Austin — examples include Seattle July 16–19, Nashville October 22–25 and Los Angeles October 15–18, each with short itineraries and availability counters on their event pages.
