Itinerary

DAY1 Arrival San Francisco

Today your tour guide will meet you at the San Francisco International Airport. From here we will transfer to our hotel for check-in.

Standard Hotel: Crowne Plaza Union City or Similar

DAY2 San Francisco - Stanford University

After eating breakfast in San Francisco’s Chinatown, we’ll explore San Francisco, the beautiful City by the Bay! Our tour will visit the stately Palace of Fine Arts; the Golden Gate Bridge; Lombard Street, the world’s most crooked street; and Fishermen’s Wharf, the bustling tourist area still home to many commercial fisheries. Then join us on a Bay Cruise,* where we will experience a view of the East Bay, the beautiful city skyline, the stately Golden Gate and Bay Bridges, and the harbor islands, including Alcatraz Island, Angel Island, and Treasure Island. Around 3:00pm, passengers may choose to explore the city at their leisure or take an Extensive City Tour,* visiting sights such as St. Mary’s Cathedral; Alamo Square; Twin Peaks; the Civic Center; and the Castro District (otherwise known as the gay capital of the world). At approximately 5:15pm, we will travel outside the city to Stanford University, one of the world's leading research and teaching institutions and home to a rich collection of historical and contemporary buildings. Just before 7:00pm, we will travel to the city for dinner and return to our hotel.

DAY3 Yosemite National Park - Los Angeles (344 miles)

This morning, we will depart San Francisco for Yosemite National Park, gem of California’s National Park system and UNESCO World Heritage site, where we should arrive by 9:00 am. Located near the geographical center of the Sierra Nevada mountain range, Yosemite is comprised of granite rocks, mighty waterfalls, and placid valleys, giving it an aspect of a "land of the gods." With its notable cliffs and unique carved rock formations, there is little doubt that water - in both its liquid and solid form as glacial ice - was the chief architect of Yosemite's landscapes. We will have close to two hours to experience this natural wonder up close, with stops to take photos and explore such viewpoints as El Capitan and Bridal Veil Falls, the mighty Yosemite Falls, and the Tunnel View. Before lunchtime, we will depart for Los Angeles, where we should arrive at approximately 6:40 pm.

Standard Hotel: Howard Johnson / Holiday Inn, La Mirada / Ramada Inn, Commerce / Days Inn or similar

DAY4 Tanger Factory Outlet - Las Vegas (151 miles)

Today we will depart Los Angeles for Las Vegas, passing through the San Bernardino Mountains and entering the Mojave Desert on our way into Nevada. It’s a long trip, but the barren desert landscape, the rising hills and mountains peppered with stunted Joshua trees and brush vegetation, and the interesting wildlife we’ll see along the way will allow you to truly experience the deserts of Nevada. We will also stop at the Tanger Outlets to enjoy their great discounts on popular brand labels. Once we arrive in Las Vegas, you will be free to explore America’s entertainment capital at your leisure! Tonight, join us on a night tour* where we will explore the city’s night life and watch famous shows like Fremont Street’s Viva Vision, the Fountains of Bellagio, and Mardi Gras at Rio.*

Standard Hotel: Stratosphere hotel

DAY5 Las Vegas - Grand Canyon - Hoover Dam - Las Vegas (275 miles)

Option A: Grand Canyon South Rim

We begin the day by traveling to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. Standing at the promontory of Lipan Point, you will be amazed by the immensity and complexity of the canyon, which was formed gradually over two billion years. After, we will leave the Grand Canyon and return to Las Vegas, stopping to see the Hoover Dam along the way. The largest dam in the United States, it was built in 1935 in an experimental construction effort which is now considered monumental for the industrial progress of the United States. Then we will continue on to Las Vegas.

Option B: Grand Canyon West Rim (Mandatory $69/person including lunch)

We begin the day by traveling to the West Rim* of the Grand Canyon. As you stand on its famous glass-bottomed Skywalk,* which extends over 4,770 feet of empty space above the Colorado River, you will feel yourself humbled by the scale of nature’s great power. Designed to hold over 70 million pounds, the Skywalk is perfectly safe and gives a breathtaking 720 degree view of the canyon. You will also have the opportunity to take a combined Colorado River Cruise and Helicopter Tour* of the Grand Canyon, which will give a spectacular view of the canyon from below and above. After, we will travel to see Hoover Dam, the largest dam in the United States. Then we will return to Las Vegas.

Standard Hotel: Holiday Inn or similar

DAY6 Las Vegas - Ethel M Chocolate Factory - Botanical Cactus Garden - Los Angeles (265 miles)

Today before we leave Las Vegas, we will travel to the Ethel M Chocolate Factory and its Botanical Cactus Gardens in Nevada, which are open to the public.
