TOUR OVERVIEW

The 11-day "LA To The Bay" tour is a guided explorer journey that begins in Los Angeles and ends in San Francisco. Grand Canyon National Park, Phoenix, San Francisco, and five additional American locations will all be on your route. A group tour called "LA To The Bay" includes lodging, transportation, meals, and other things.

11 days, 3 states, and one darn good vacation. Your eyes will be popping the entire drive, from the Hollywood sign to the Golden Gate. We'll revel in Vegas, eat authentic Mexican food, and admire Joshua Trees.

  • Day 1: Start Los Angeles 
  • Enter the city of Los Angeles, which combines glitz, grit, and the American Dream. There are a tonne of things to do, and it is bursting with legends and excitement. In fabled Hollywood, walk on the holy ground for celebrities. Visit the Kodak Theatre, where the Academy Awards are presented annually, and Mann's Chinese Theatre, where so many legends have imprinted their names in cement. Before catching a glimpse of Beverly Hills, one of the wealthiest communities in the world, travel via Melrose Avenue, one of LA's busiest retail avenues, and the Strip (Sunset Boulevard), one of the top entertainment districts, with its billboards, clubs, and eateries. Santa Monica, LA's oldest beach resort, can be found a bit further west.
    Santa Monica is all about the California coast lifestyle and is known for its liberal atmosphere, art galleries, and broad sand beaches. Visit the well-known pier, which doubles as a year-round entertainment park replete with a Ferris wheel powered by solar energy. Perhaps later, take a trip to Venice Beach, the most eccentric neighborhood in Los Angeles. Venice Beach, which is known for its colour, is a popular hangout for locals. When you arrive at the bustling boardwalk, where entertainers, tattooists, hair braiders, musicians, and roller bladders congregate, you get a sense of street life. Don't forget to check out the markets and stalls as well as the greased-up bodybuilders working out at Muscle Beach, a renowned outdoor gym. Later, go out and check out the hottest bars in town.

  • Today When you join the crew, you'll be riding on the Surf liner Train as it travels along the Pacific Coast before turning around and arriving in the incredibly laid-back city of San Diego. After getting off the Surf liner, we'll first stop at one of the white-sand beaches along the Southern California coast, and then we'll explore San Diego at night, visiting the Gas Lamp District. Relax and revel in San Diego's laid-back atmosphere as you recline.

  • After experiencing what it's like to live the San Diego dream, it's time to turn up the heat as we travel through the desert. We bid California goodbye and move a little further inland to explore Arizona's offerings. You won't soon forget this magnificent town, which is located smack dab in the middle of the desert. About 300 days a year are predicted to be completely sunny, making this location a highly popular urban fantasy ideal for athletic events and shopping. We'll savor an Arizonan BBQ dinner, and we'll spend the afternoon in Scottsdale Old Town, Arizona's Most Western Town.

  • Day 4: Phoenix to The Grand Canyon
  • You have the opportunity to cross something off your bucket list right here—riding in a hot air balloon above the "Valley of the Sun" sounds like it should be on your bucket list, and it is. Try to maintain your breath so you don't miss out on the included champagne breakfast that is part of the package. The excitement of the desert keeps going, and the next stop will have any lover of the outdoors weak in the knees. The pride of Arizona, this place is one of the most well-known natural wonders in the world.

  • Day 6: The Grand Canyon to Las Vegas
  • After leaving the magnificent Grand Canyon behind for the time being, we make several stops along the famed Route 66, but Seligman stands out as a place to experience some authentic old-school Americana charm. Prepare for a full-fledged, never-ending assault on the senses. This is Las Vegas, also referred to as Sin City, a city of epic vice and dreams. Total excess is the focus of this enormous man-made entertainment district in the middle of the desert.
    The flashing lights will make you temporarily blind, and the idea of all the money flowing through more than 75 enormous casinos will leave you speechless. What this spectacular city has to offer after dark may be seen on a nighttime tour of the famed Strip that includes a photo stop at the iconic Vegas sign. Tonight's plans include a trip to Fremont Street, where the major draw is a really stunning light and laser show, before going out and experiencing the real Vegas.

  • You have the day to yourself, but to take in all of Vegas' bizarre and amazing charms, you'll need to stick to a strict plan. The Bellagio fountain, a Venetian gondola, and even an Egyptian pyramid can all be seen in a single day while remaining entirely within the boundaries of the city. Feeling sentimental? Visit one of the several Elvis impersonators for a shotgun wedding ceremony and perhaps even get married yourself (joking). When you go out for a night with the group tonight, you'll get a first-hand look at the nonstop party scene.

  • This change of scenery will take you and the group back to nature as you depart from the outrageously dazzling Las Vegas Strip and travel to the Sierra Nevada Mountains, the world's premier outdoor destination. In 'n' Out Burger cravings? Terrible question Get your fast food fix at this West Coast favorite takeout spot, then unwind as we travel to our next location. This afternoon, you'll fall in love with Bass Lake's serenity. After a long day of travel, unwind in your chalet while admiring the natural beauty around you. The view from the chalet deck is nothing short of magnificent later on, so relax and take it all in. After fast and furious Vegas, take a plunge in the pool, warm up in the jacuzzi, and relax by breathing in the clean mountain air.

After taking an introductory tour to get a taste of San Francisco, admire the street art and the fog rising over the Golden Gate Bridge as skateboarders zigzag by. Tonight, you may choose to go sailing at dusk. After that, there's no better way to reflect than over one last meal.
