7 Days tour to San Francisco, Las Vegas, Grand Canyon, Antelope, Bryce Canyon and Zion Park

This 7-day group tour leaves every Monday from Los Angeles (April through October) and it divided so you will first explore the Pacific Ocean with some California's Top-Destinations to later continue towards the Desert & Canyon Region of Arizona, Utah, and Nevada.  Leaving the city of Angeles behind us, we will start heading north along the Pacific Highway through historic villages and seaside towns such as Carmel, Solvang and Santa Barbara where we'll have a chance to first-hand experience the much regarded California lifestyle! We'll then arrive in San Francisco one of the most "desired cities" for quality of life in the US where we will spend one day exploring the beautiful city by the bay including participating in a popular Sightseeing Cruise that will take us around Alcatraz Island and under the impressive Golden Gate Bridge.

The tour will then continue East towards Yosemite National Park where we will spend a full day immersed in nature admiring the majestic peaks of the Sierra Nevada Mountains as well as the Yosemite Fall the tallest waterfall in the US. (Weather-permitting only - alternatively the tour will continue towards Monterey, CA for a visit of the iconic seaside town.

From the secluded mountain areas of Yosemite, we’ll reach the desert  to continue towards the capital of gambling, aka the adult Disneyland — Las Vegas. Here, you will have a night at your disposal to try your hand (and luck) at popular casinos or perhaps trying one of the top-chefs restaurants or popular shows.

The second part of the tour is dedicated to the “Wild Wild West” with Canyons, deserts and sandstone sculptures. We will visit the Grand Canyon National Park (south rim), the iconic Antelope Canyon and of course we’ll stop at the ever-popular Horseshoe Bend where you can snap panoramic photos of the canyon in its deep orange & red hues contrasting with the deep blue & green waters of the Colorado River.

We will finish our tour visiting the other 2 incredible National Parks out West including the Bryce Canyon and the magical Zion Park named after one of the first settlement of Mormons in the area.  We will make our way back to first Las Vegas for a late afternoon/evening arrival, and in case you rather return to Los Angeles, it is possible to arrange it but please expect to be back in the city of Angels late at night.
