    Price / Availability
    • Empire VacationsOperator•Written July 2026

      Our 8-day tour from Los Angeles is no longer available. However, we do have a great alternative: our 7-day tour from Los Angeles with the departure date on August 10th.

    Emily

    Asked on January 14th, 2026

    Can you give the dates when available

    Price / Availability
    • Empire VacationsOperator•Written January 2026

      Due to the official announcement from the Department of the Interior regarding the new supplement for the national park, we will unfortunately be unable to operate most of our tours on the original schedule. As a result, this tour has only a departure date available for this year, which is March 9th.

    Asked on October 8th, 2025

    Would like to request a quote for a personalized adventure in December 2025 for 20 Adults and 5 Children

    Price / Availability
    • Empire VacationsOperator•Written October 2025

      We would be happy to quote a private departure. December 29 is a high demand period. Joining the regular departure will be more cost effective. A private departure for 25 people can be up to 50% more expensive.

    Asked on July 22nd, 2025

    Are there opportunities to wash laundry during the tour at hotels?

      If we do the tour in March 2026, would this follow the winter itinerary and not include visiting Yosemite national park?

    • Empire VacationsOperator•Written July 2025

      Our winter itinerary begins on April 1st. We'll be visiting Monterrey instead of Yosemite National Park.

    Irene

    Asked on June 21st, 2025

    Can you recommend a hotel we can book into the day before departure close to the departure point and a place to stay in Vegas close to the place where the tour ends as we would like to stay an extra day or two after the tour ends.

    Accommodation
    • Empire VacationsOperator•Written June 2025

      One of the meeting points for this tour is the Four Points by Sheraton in Culver City. Many of our clients choose to stay at this hotel the night before departure, as it ensures they are already at the correct meeting point on the day the tour begins. The tour will conclude at the Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas. For your convenience, we recommend booking your additional nights at this same hotel, as it will be the final drop-off location.
