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!
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.
The itinerary was wonderful, got to see some unexpected sites that were amazing.
Exremely busy itinerary. Up at 6 am for breakfast at 7 and on the road by 8 am EVERY DAY. Some days not returning to the hotel until 10 PM. For me, this is way too much.
It had great sights and interesting locals
Overall, we enjoyed our trip, but are undecided about future domestic coach tours. Enjoyed the sites we visited but frequently felt rushed to return to bus to stay on schedule. Driver and trip director were professional and service-oriented. Director provided fun and informative facts about areas we were traveling through. Meals we were provided were exellent. Breakfasts were a little repetitive. Would appreciate more bread, fruit, and yogurt options. Accommodations were good to excellent overall, with exception of the resort at Tahoe, which we felt was poorly researched. Site was under construction, staff unresponsive, and room had not been thoroughly cleaned. Don't generally enjoy gambling venues. Give entire trip a B to B+.
It iwas wonderful.
Packed full of information and such interesting places to visit.A great group of people to travel with. We will never forget our experiences.
I know that to get to the special places you have to travel long distances, but it would be nice to breck it up a little more with longer break times .
A very nice trip of San Fransisco, Lake Tahoe, Monterey, Yosemite. Expect to do a lot of walking.
Get a taste of the Golden State on this tour of Northern California. Explore California icons: Yosemite National Park, the iconic Redwoods, and serene Lake Tahoe. Try Sonoma Valley wines and a farm-to-table meal in Monterey.
