    It was a good tour, it covered most of the tour description of this tour except no stargazing. It was fun and Charlie was really good in driving. I enjoyed this National Park tour.

    Could you please add us to the waitlist? A small correction to the message below, I would've liked to book for 2 travellers (2 adults). Do you need any other personal info from us for the waitlist?

    Price / Availability
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten March 2022

      Unfortunately the departure from 4th June to 19th June is fully booked, we can always add to the waitlist in case a space does open up and become available.

      We can definitely add you onto the waitlist for that trip - we will just need the following details for both travellers: - Full name - Date of Birth - Nationality

    Asked on March 19th, 2022

    Does private vehicle mean that we need to drive, or there will be a driver?

    Transport
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten March 2022

      Private vehicle means that it will just be for your group of travellers and will not include members of the public such as a coach bus.

      TravelerWritten February 2022

      Hi Nadine yes please I would like to receive your quote for 2 participants and which month/week is recommended as the best weather to join this tour?

    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten February 2022

      The best times to visit Los Angeles & San Francisco are from Spring (March to May) and Autumn/Fall (September to November) when the temperature is not too high. During those months, the crowds are tolerable, and it's the best time for outdoor activities as the temperatures are usually pleasant and not too hot.

    • M

      Maria

      TravelerWritten February 2022

      Nadine thanks for your follow up! For this tour is there any schedule for month of May 2022?

    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten February 2022

      We do have a departure on Sat, 14 May - Sun, 29 May, however this particular date has been fully booked. Are you flexible in your dates of travel?
