What people love about touring West Coast USA solo
- Yosemite Escape Camping - 3 Days
I went to visit the west coast for a few weeks from Ireland and took in lots of different tours and trips. This tour was by far the highlight of my trip. The scenery was amazing obviously but the way we wrre guided by Kate was right up there. She was so considerate, knowledgeable and patient. Also so much fun, she really made the tour for me. Such a cool girl. Have mentioned inca specially to all my friends living in SF because of how much better the trip was due to Kate.
