This escorted tour is operated with exclusive Italian-language commentary.
A journey through California’s iconic cities and breathtaking natural landscapes
The California Adventure Package is designed for travelers who want to experience, in a single journey, the great classics of the American West: iconic metropolises, scenic highways and some of the most famous landscapes in the United States. The tour perfectly combines the urban energy of Los Angeles and Las Vegas with the authentic soul of California, made of national parks, mountains and dramatic coastlines.
After arriving in Los Angeles and enjoying a guided visit through Hollywood, Beverly Hills and Rodeo Drive, the journey crosses the Mojave Desert to reach Las Vegas, where you’ll have free time to enjoy shows, lights and its unique atmosphere. The route then continues north through the Nevada high desert, with a stop in remote Amargosa Valley (Area 51 region) and a visit to the historic ghost town of Goldfield, before reaching Mammoth Lakes at the foot of the Sierra Nevada.
The natural highlight of the tour is Yosemite National Park, reached via the scenic Tioga Pass (when open), offering unforgettable views of the valley. The final part of the journey is dedicated to the Pacific Coast and the famous 17-Mile Drive, with stops in Monterey and arrival in San Francisco, the iconic “City by the Bay”.

I’m the biggest fan of Fall activities, but haven’t had a chance to do anything beyond Apple Picking in NJ. I decided to take a last minute 2 day trip with a friend in Hudson Valley, but didn’t know where to start [...] Thankfully I was able to use New York Welcome to do the hard work for us [...]

Irene was a FANTASTIC tour guide! She was so knowledgeable about the area and was so patient with all our questions. We stopped to use the bathroom and we got coffee halfway through, she was so kind! It was a pleasure learning about Brooklyn from you!
