The program runs year-round with two seasonal versions tailored to daylight and weather, while keeping the must-see highlights and a smooth point-to-point route.

Summer Itinerary (April 1 – October 31)

Start in San Francisco with a Bay Cruise and city tour, then head east to Yosemite National Park (El Capitan, Half Dome, Yosemite Falls). Continue across the desert toward Las Vegas with an evening Strip tour, and wrap up at the mighty Hoover Dam before the tour concludes in Los Angeles.

Begin in San Francisco with the Bay Cruise and city highlights, then spend more time along the Central CoastMonterey Wharf & Cannery Row, Carmel-by-the-Sea — before crossing the desert to Las Vegas for a guided Strip tour. Finish with a visit to the Hoover Dam and end in Los Angeles.

WHAT TO EXPECT

We'll leave San Francisco behind by the early evening just in time to admire the beautiful Skyline lighting up from the Bay Bridge. The tour will continue towards Yosemite National Park where will spend one-day exploring Waterfalls (here the Yosemite Falls is the tallest in the States), Mountains, Lakes and Glaciers including a brief walk by The Visitor Center to admire some of the best sights this park can offer including the Bridal-Veil Falls, Half Dome, and El Capitan. A full day immersed in Mother Nature.

Please note that during winter season, we will opt instead to visit the historic and quaint town on Monterey, California famous for its historic Wharf's and Main Street.

The second half of the Tour will take us towards the deserts  which we'll cross to enter in the state of Nevada. We will spend one night in Las Vegas where you will have the chance to try your hand at the casinos or simply enjoy all that Vegas offers including restaurants, shows, attractions and more. We'll conclude the Tour visiting the popular Hoover Dam where not only we can admire some of the oldest rock formations found in the US but also learn the history of the Dam and understand how the territory changed due to its construction. We will then head towards Los Angeles for a late afternoon/ evening arrival.

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!
