Private Tours & Trips in Northern California
For travelers seeking a private experience, our 4-day Death Valley-Yosemite-San Francisco route lets you set the pace. You'll start in Las Vegas and cross Death Valley's salt flats before heading to the Sierra Nevada. Our customers particularly value having flexibility with hiking options in Yosemite and also appreciate ending in San Francisco with a guided city tour. Another private option focuses on California's Central Coast, where you'll walk among ancient redwoods in Henry Cowell Park before exploring Santa Cruz's lively arts scene and beaches. The tour ends in Paso Robles' wine country, where our guides know the best family-owned wineries for tastings.
