Highlights

This unforgettable road trip through Northern California is so good, you won't want to waste a moment. Start your adventure in the City by the Bay - San Francisco! From the Golden Gate to Alcatraz Island to the hustle and bustle of the Castro, this historic city has something exciting around every corner. After your time in SF, you'll set your course for the Sonoma Valley. Sonoma Valley's scenic backroads and expansive array of excellent wines are every wine lover's dream. Be your own sommelier for a day and treat yourself to a winery tour or two before moving on to the crisp air of the Sierra Nevadas. Your next stop will be in South Lake Tahoe for all your favorite outdoor activities. Lake Tahoe is the perfect place to play all day and party all night. After an invigorating stay, you'll head for one of the world's most famous national parks: Yosemite.  Two nights in Yosemite will stir up your hunger for outdoor adventure. Take on the excellent hiking and irresistible views of the area. Picturesque year-round, Yosemite is impossible not to love. Your road trip will come full-circle upon your return to San Francisco. Use your final night to dive into any last-minute sightseeing or souvenir shopping that piques your interest.

Custom Tour Selection Trips

Planning a customized tour allows for a truly tailored travel experience. Here are some essential tips to ensure your custom tour goes smoothly:

  • Communicate your interests, preferences, and expectations to your tour operator or travel planner to ensure they can create an itinerary that aligns with your desires.

  • Take the time to research your destination thoroughly, including its culture, customs, and local attractions, to help you make informed decisions about your personalized trip.

  • While customization offers the freedom to design your ideal trip, be open to adjustments and changes along the way to accommodate unforeseen circumstances or unexpected opportunities.

  • Establish a realistic budget for your custom tour and discuss pricing and payment options with your tour operator to avoid any surprises during your trip.

  • Keep all important travel documents, such as passports, visas, and itinerary details, organized and easily accessible throughout your journey.

  • Stay in touch with your tour operator or local contacts throughout your trip to address any concerns or questions that may arise.
