    Loved visiting Yosemite. A definite highlight and one to tick off the bucket list. Really appreciated having a full day there to explore on our own and do whichever hike/activity we liked.

    We were very fortunate to have a wonderful group of fellow travellers. I have to say that our group enriched our tour tenfold. The tour is a good one, giving us a chance to experience the opulence of Vegas, the majesty of the giant sequoias, the raw beauty of Yosemite and the Caza and San Fran.

    As my first time with G adventures, I was nervous about the tour. These nerves went away almost immediately when I met my CEO and group. The energy was fun and welcoming and I was able to get the most out of the beautiful landscapes in California. I was nervous coming into the trip with the amount of driving to be done but the van was comfortable and the long trips felt relaxing enough to get in a nap or two (which I can rarely do!). My CEO was able to show us the best of the parks and tailor the itinerary to the mood of our group on any given day. Could not recommend g adventures enough and look forward to using this company for future adventures!

    Need a trip that is low key and not a lot of walking

    Tour Details
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten April 2024

      We'd be happy to find a trip that can fit your request. Are you preferring to visit the USA for your tour? The tour linked to this conversation page, California National Park Discovery, has a lot of hiking and walking so this may not be the best fit. If you could provide us with a bit more information on the destination/length of tour/departure time we'd be happy to send over some options that might work better for you!

    Raymond

    Asked on April 23rd, 2024

    I am ready to confirm the booking for the June 10, 2024 trip. I have a visual impairment so I need the following info before booking so that I can book a hotel in Las Vegas and my flight to Vegas and out of San Francisco. From where (what hotel) do we depart in Las Vegas and what time in the morning? I am alone, so let me know if there is a single supplement charge and how much it is. Are there any other costs I should be aware of. What is the total cost. On the 16th, where does the driver take us in San Francisco before we take the flight home? Is it possible for the driver to take us to the airport for a fee?

    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten April 2024

      The start hotel is The Golden Nugget in Las Vegas. We can offer pre-nights at this start hotel once your tour is booked, you can book the extra accommodation through us but it is subject to availability. You depart early in the morning on the first day and your flight must arrive before 6 am, if you are booking a pre-night that would be ideal. A private room is 1229.00 CAD. Allow USD310-405 for meals not included. The tour ends at the Stanford Court Hotel in San Francisco. We cannot offer an airport transfer but you can take a taxi locally.

    Asked on February 17th, 2024

    My partner and I were looking to book the California National Park Discovery. We see there is only one place remaining but we wonder if they can accommodate two. We're a couple so we'd share a room.
