What people love about West Coast USA Tours for Couples
- Northern California with Yosemite National Park
Very good trip. Tour guide and coach driver were excellent. Accommodations were great. I would recommend this trip to others. Except, I would not recommend going to the trip sponsored dinner at the Happy Girl Coffee House in Monterey. The food was just awful in my opinion. Best place for dinner that night would at one of the seafood restaurants at be Fisherman's Warf located right in back of the hotel.
What our customers ask about Romantic West Coast USA Trips & Honeymoon Packages
What's the best time of year for couples to visit the West Coast USA?
If you're planning a romantic trip, aim for September through October. The weather is perfect, with temperatures around 65-75°F (18-24°C), and you won't have to deal with peak season crowds. It's an ideal time for hiking in Yosemite or taking a scenic drive along Highway 1. Spring is another good option, especially April and May when wildflowers bloom in the national parks. One of our travelers said: "September was perfect for our trip - comfortable temperatures for hiking in Yosemite and beautiful sunset views along the coast."
Which West Coast USA cities offer the best dining experiences for couples?
San Francisco is your best bet for romantic meals, especially in North Beach's Little Italy and along Fisherman's Wharf. If you're into wine country dining, head to Santa Barbara. For ocean views with your dinner, try the restaurants along Monterey's Cannery Row. One of our travelers shared this tip: "The Clearwater Restaurant in Newport offers stunning harbor views and fresh seafood - it was our most romantic dinner of the trip."
