    Asked on August 17th, 2025

    Does this tour provide time to do hiking in the parks? What about a tour of Alcatraz?

    Tour Details

      All our tours are accessible to people of all abilities and ages. Our tours involve easy walks, but you will also have free time in the parks if you wish to go hiking. The tour does not include a visit to Alcatraz, but we will be able to see it from the outside during the cruise.

    Alan

    Asked on August 14th, 2025

    1. Transport by this 7 day tour will be by bus/van. It will not involve any domestic flight. Is that correct? 2. On Day 1, it says "small vehicles will travel the southern portion of route 1 while full size coaches will travel the 17-mile drive exclusively". Does that mean if tour group size is small for that day, we will travel by van on route 1, and if tour group size is big for that day (> 10 people), then we will travel by coach on 17-mile drive? 3. On Day 3, it says "we head back to Los Angeles in the evening." Can you advise which is the recommended hotel in LA for Day 3? 4. On Day 7, it mentions 3 possible end points. For 04-May-2026 departure group, can you explain which is the correct end point for Day 7?

    Tour Details
    Transport
    • Empire VacationsOperatorWritten August 2025

      1. That is correct. We travel only by bus/van. 2. That is correct. 3. On day 3 we will stay at the Comfort Inn and Suites Stevenson Ranch. 4. The tour is designed to end at the Luxor Hotel, 3900 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89119, with an optional late-night return to Los Angeles, ending at the 4 Points Sheraton in Culver City.

      Jacob

      TravelerWritten January 2025

      would there be enough free time to visit the island? it seems a shame to go so far and not be able to

    • Empire VacationsOperatorWritten January 2025

      We do have free time however the time ranges from an hour to an hour and a half depending on traffic, weather and local conditions. I would suggest asking your tour guide for a more specific time frame if you are able to do the alacatraz tour on your own and join with the group at a later time.
