      Do you have another tour that includes the Grand Canyon leaving from San Francisco and arriving in LA?

    • Empire VacationsOperatorWritten 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 will not be available this year.

      However, you may consider joining our 7-day tour from San Francisco. Please note that the only departure date available for this year is March 10th.

    We are interested in booking the tour ,Wild West, at May, 27, 2025. Meanwhile I saw on your USA page, that summer goes from April. Is it correct for the tour. For us it is important to see Yosemite. After arriving at the end in LA we ask after an transport to an hotel near the airport LA. Please tell me , is it ipossible and the price.

    Flights / Transfers
    Tour Details
    • Empire VacationsOperatorWritten January 2025

      That is correct between April and October is the summer itinerary so you will be able to enjoy seeing Yosemite. We dont offer any transportation to the airport, our clients usually take an uber from 4Points Sheraton Culver City. We always recommend booking return flights for the following day or if you need to do the same day please book the last flight of the day to avoid stress on the final day of the tour as this tour is designed to return around 10;30PM.

      In the German offer from Tourradar we read on the website comming back May, 30, 2025 to LA, farmers market Starbucks Coffee Shop, between 4-6 p.m. and not 10.30 p.m :-). Do you have a real tour plan for us,please., showing the course of the trip.

    • Empire VacationsOperatorWritten January 2025

      My apologies Marion, I had confused this wih our 7 day tour that ends on Sundays. You will arive to Los Angeles on Friday around 6pm to Farmers Market and then 4 Point Sheraton.
