Kathie W. | Traveled in August
all of the tour was wonderful! I especially enjoyed San Francisco I took my Grandson on his senior trip. He was the youngest 18 and the oldest was 95! They enjoyed each other and my Grandson enjoyed all of the other tourists! They enjoyed his photographs!

The motel in Eureka was a disappointment. A nicer place would be better. Everything else was great! *personal info removed by Feefo* did an awesome job! They took great care of us the whole trip!

This is a very fast moving tour and you have basically no downtime and the resorts or hotels you stay in. The one day we started breakfast at 7 and returned to the hotel at 10. Also, don't plan on seeing the General Sherman tree at Yosemite. Our tour guide took us on the shorter route. This was one of the main reasons I booked the trip. Overall, the amount of things we saw was great, but we felt rushed and if you were not in the front of the "pack" you did not hear the tour information. Monterey was awesome and so was the Sonoma valley!

I think the overall tour was great . I wasn’t always happy with some of the prearranged restaurants and choice of food , but I do realize it probably satisfied most people and it’s not the tours fault if the restaurant was poor .( food was very late being served and the meal was cold) , It was my first Collette tour and was very pleased and booked another . Everything I signed up for on this tour did not disappoint ! The redwoods were amazing and the Oregon coast beautiful. Seattle sights were just perfect!

This itinerary had everything we wanted to experience in Northern California and Yosemite National Park. The 8 days was perfect and covered several bucket list items such as the Golden Gate bridge, El Capetian, the sequoias and redwoods. What an extraordinary trip. Thanks again to Trafalgar tour director for making this another memorable trip for us.
