Feedback from guests whose tour started in/around San Francisco during May.
Pratik | Traveled in May
Was very hesitant at first because of the price of trip but was so worth it. If I had booked this by myself it would have been stressful but Contiki and trip manager handle everything for you. The trip manager was amazing and gave us all the useful information we needed for each stop. All the locations were iconic too and all the people on the trip were friendly. Will not forget it.
Anonymous | Traveled in May
I chose this trip because of the itinerary. It had everything I wanted to see. San Francisco,Sonoma Valley, Lake Tahoe,Yosemite, Monterey and the California Coast. Going to see the Sequoias and the Redwoods was a dream come true. This trip was everything I hoped for and more.
Rebecca P | Traveled in May
Charlie made this trip so memorable. He remained in good spirits throughout, had extensive local knowledge and was an excellent driver and felt very safe on the long and winding roads
Sophie | Traveled in May
One member of our tour group, Ramzi, was incredibly rude to members of the group and to our CEO at times. He avoided doing his share of cooking/cleaning, arrived 1.5 hours late to a meeting point after free time meaning we all had to wait, and made several members of the group feel very uncomfortable
Roy | Traveled in May
Had a great time due to what we saw and learned, the activities we did and the fun we had with the others on the tour. Meagan was a wonderful CEO in managing all the parts of the tour as well as melding us together as a group having fun together.

This was an amazing trip. The scenery was outstanding and became unbelievably more so on each successive day. The unexpected snow both in Yosemite and at Grand Canyon added to our excitement rather than dampen our spirits and although we were disappointed not to fly over the Canyon due to weather conditions, it was still a wonderful holiday.
