San Francisco Tours in August 2027

I had a great time travelling with G Adventures. It has now been the second time I booked a G Adventures trip and I can see myself booking one again.

A perfect trip, worth every penny. Whether travelling alone for the first time (like I was!), or a seasoned globe trotter like many of the others on tour, I can?t recommend it highly enough. What a truly special adventure.

The G adventures trip to Yosemite and LA was everything I hoped it would be. I got to meet new people, experience challenging hikes in a beautiful setting and get a taste of beach life and surfing in LA.

I?ve had an amazing experience learning about the places, parks and people along the way! Thank you to Ernesto our guide for taking such good care of us. The trip has a really good balance of free time and guided activities, as well as a nice balance of hotels/camping/glamping. Overall it has been an epic trip!

I travelled with my 23 yr old daughter and we had a great time. Lots of superlatives which have been covered by reviewers below, so I will not repeat them, but suffice to say that this trip exceeded both our expectations in terms of the amazing variation in landscape in the iconic National Parks visited, and the diversity of activities - ranging from exciting hikes, to laying on the ground in Death Valley looking at the Night Sky. Never a dull moment - and our guide inserted little surprises at regular intervals.

This was an incredible trip which exceeded my expectations! The National Parks on the itinerary were all places I'd wanted to visit for a long, long time but actually visiting them was much more impressive than I had imagined. Often this was due to the scale of these natural wonders which you just can't get a sense of in photographs or it was due to the varying colours of the rocks such as in Zion or the Grand Canyon which made the views all the more enjoyable. Unfortunately when we visited Yosemite there were forest fires nearby and the smoke spoiled some of the views but luckily the park itself remained open! Yes there are some long drives but the varying landscapes, regular stops for photos or snacks, WiFi, good conversation and a wide range of music available on the tour leader's iPhone all made them pass fairly quickly. It's a fairly busy itinerary but I did feel it provided enough time in each place to really get a 'feel' for them! The vast majority of restaurants I ate in were terrific (be prepared for large potions), the standard of hotels was very high and it was a great group of people to be on holiday with!
