- Northern California's Finest
The tour guide and bus driver exceeded all expectations; they were a very organized, customer oriented team. Highly recommend them and the itinerary. The only stop that wasn't "great" was Sacramento, which could possibly be skipped in the future. The food and lodging were great too.
