Customer Reviews
Good trip and experience. Lots to see with having someone else fight the California traffic. Could include more meals to make it better.
My most memorable tour experience was visiting Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks.
LA hotel was not so good.
Loved the Sequoias. Not a big fan of the Hollywood part of tour. Thought more time was need in the market area for lunch. The Gety museum was a little long time. Would have liked another day at Pismo Beach. The breakfast at the Omni restaurant felt rushed and not enough seating. Would have liked to be able to tour the Griffith Observatory instead of looking at streets in Hollywood where movies where made back in a day. Winery visit was nice.
Loved seeing Hearst Castle and Sequoias.
