Your Destinations —
Cable cars, the Golden Gate rising from the fog - welcome to San Francisco, arguably the most romantic and cosmopolitan city in the United States. San Francisco has it all: a colourful history, superb restaurants, sophisticated museums, world-class shopping, and that elusive air of romance and abandon that's part of the tang of the city.
Your time in San Francisco includes a Half day Muir Woods, Giant Redwoods & Sausalito tour, including ferry ticket!
Muir Woods National Monument is part of California’s Golden Gate National Recreation Area, north of San Francisco. It’s known for its towering old-growth redwood trees. Sausalito is a city in Marin County, California, across the Golden Gate Strait. It’s known for its Richardson Bay houseboat enclaves, built by artist squatters after WWII.
The breathtaking Lake Tahoe is a large freshwater lake located in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, straddling the border of California and Nevada. It’s known for its beaches by summer and stylish ski resorts by winter. On the southwest shore, the glorious Emerald Bay State Park contains the 1929 Nordic-style mansion Vikingsholm - a must-see attraction. Along the lake’s northeast side, the Lake Tahoe Nevada State Park includes Sand Harbor Beach and Spooner Lake, which acts as a gateway to the long-distance Tahoe Rim Trail. Here, you can expect some of the most stunning natural scenery on the planet!
The outstanding Sierra National Forest was the second National Forest created in California and the largest at the time. The Sierra National Forest is located on the western slope of the central Sierra Nevada. The forest is known for its mountain scenery and natural resources.
Sequoia trees continue to impress visitors due to both their size and history in the Sequoia National Park. Located in Visalia, the area is said to be one of the most important agricultural trade markets in the well-known Central Valley. Surrounded by groves of the world's largest living things, there's something truly magical about the Sequoia National Park.
Discover the huge granite formations and green trees of Yosemite National Park. Throughout the Park, you'll find endless scenic beauty, with opportunities for hiking, rock climbing, biking, horseback riding, and so much more! The park is possibly best known for its waterfalls, but within its nearly 1,200 square miles you can find deep valleys, grand meadows, ancient giant sequoias and a vast wilderness area.
Death Valley is the lowest, driest and hottest area in North America. Its landscape is arid but also colourful with beautiful sand dunes, wild canyons, and snow white mountain peaks. The rain clouds rarely pass the mountains but when a few drops of rain do fall on the desert it turns into a blossoming garden.
Despite the harsh environmental conditions, there are more than 1,000 different plants in the park, which have managed to adapt. After the sun sets, the temperature drops rapidly in the dry air.
This incredible package includes a stay in Las Vegas, globally synonymous with glamorous casinos, rock-star luxury and a 24-hour excess that has become a brand in its own right.
Experience the world’s most iconic structures in miniature when you walk the Strip, from the Pyramids of Egypt at Luxor, or the Statue of Liberty at New York, New York; to the beautiful Eiffel Tower at Paris and romantic canals at the Venetian - you can explore the world in a couple of hours!
A visit to the Grand Canyon is an unforgettable experience. The famous gorges, 450 km long and up to 30 km wide, are one of the most important natural wonders attracting approximately 4 million visitors from around the world annually. Discover the canyon on horseback, on foot, by helicopter or via a small plane. Layers of sand, limestone and Schist create its unique appearance and the ever-shifting light from the sun and shadow create wonderfully colourful images.
This offer includes a Full day Grand Canyon South Rim Bus Tour!
This relaxing oasis is a great place for shopping, eating, or simply relaxing by the pool. Possibilities include a tram ride up to Mt. Jacinto or a hike through the Indian Canyons where you will find beautiful waterfalls & peaceful palm trees.
The Joshua Tree National Park is a vast and spectacularly striking protected area in southern California. It's characterized by rugged rock formations and stark desert landscapes. Named for the region’s twisted, bristled and utterly iconic Joshua trees, the park straddles the cactus-dotted Colorado Desert and the Mojave Desert, which is higher and cooler.
Given its location on the stunning Californian coastline, Los Angeles boasts beautiful weather and amazing beaches displaying awe-inspiring beauty. The city is known for Hollywood, Beverly Hills and Movie Stars galore and offers an amazing array of studios, shopping and celebrity spotting.

Visa Waiver Programme —
If you are travelling to the USA or choose a flight option with a US layover, the US authorities have introduced a requirement for passengers travelling under the Visa Waiver Programme (VWP), to register for Electronic Travel Authority. Passengers who have not applied for and received travel authorisation via ESTA prior to travel may be denied boarding, experience delayed processing, or be denied admission at the US port of entry. However, neither possession of a visa, nor meeting the basic requirements for travelling visa-free on the VWP, guarantees admission to the United States. As with most countries, the final determination of admissibility is made by immigration officials at the port of entry. Please remember that issue of ESTA does not guarantee admissibility to the United States - it is only part of the travel approval process. All queries in relation to this requirement should be addressed via the US Embassy Consular department.
Please remember that if you are refused boarding or denied admission at the US port of entry, you will still be subject to our cancellation charges in accordance with the terms of our contract with you.
How do I apply for ESTA?
There is an online application form which is available now at https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov. Prior to travel, you will need to visit this website and fill in the on-line application (currently in English only).
