Los Angeles to San Francisco Tours via Highway 1

What people are asking about Los Angeles to San Francisco Tours?

• Where do San Francisco tours from Los Angeles pick up?

  Tours pick up at set hotels or meeting points in the Los Angeles area, and some include LAX pickup on arrival day. Pickup points and times differ by tour, so check the tour page before booking your hotel.

• Do the tours return to Los Angeles?

  Some go one way and end in San Francisco, while others loop back to Los Angeles, often through Yosemite, Las Vegas or the Grand Canyon. Check the end city on the tour page before you book a flight home.

• Do the tours drive Highway 1 and Big Sur?

  Most coastal routes follow Highway 1 through Big Sur. Parts of the road can close after landslides, and when that happens tours reroute on Highway 101 and still reach Monterey and Carmel. Each tour page lists its route.

• Are hotels and transportation included?

  Yes. Multi-day tours include hotel stays, coach or van transport and a guide. Meals, attraction tickets and some optional activities are extra unless the tour page lists them as included.

• Is Alcatraz included?

  Usually not. Alcatraz tickets are sold separately and often sell out weeks ahead, so book them yourself early if you want to go, and check your free time in San Francisco on the itinerary.

• Are small-group tours available?

  Yes. Some routes run as small groups in a van with a capped group size, and others use a full-size coach. The tour page shows the vehicle and maximum group size for each departure.

• How early should I book?

  Summer and holiday departures fill up first, so booking a few months ahead is a good idea. Small-group tours have fewer seats and sell out sooner. Cancellation terms are listed on each tour page.
