Stargazing in pristine night skies and the natural beauty of Mammoth Lakes are just a few highlights. This tour’s USP is its rare behind-the-scenes access to local experts, deepening your appreciation of California’s legendary landscapes.
This is a great trip! We got a nice survey of some amazing places, such as Yosemite and Sequoia, plus several stops in between. Accommodations and food were excellent. Our guide, was wonderful - very knowledgeable, patient, creative, dedicated to the task. We would definitely recommend this tour to others and would be interested in Trafalgar tours to other destinations.
Tour director was excellent ( )
We were not able to visit Death Valley due to heat which is understandable however there should be a second option. We stopped at an internment camp at 104 degree?? Too hot for Death Valley but not to walk around an internment camp. Also we only were given one morning in Sequoia National Park and then in the afternoon were told shuttles don’t run during the week. VERY DISAPPOINTING! Our director worked with our driver and we were driven into the park for 2 extra hours in the afternoon, but I felt we really had to “complain” to get this extra time in the Park and we had to either hike or take shuttles to the campground at 4:00 or have to hike 4 miles back to the resort. I have taken tours with Caravans, Globus and now Trafalgar. I would rate Trafalgar in LAST place. The saving grace was our tour director and driver who were AMAZING!
Enjoyed every destination on our trip. Was disappointed in the cancellation of drive through Death Valley National Park, but understood caution needed for the high temperatures in the park.
