The Best California Travel Tour Bus Experience

By design, Caravan’s California guided bus tours provide each travelling guest with the best coach tour experience.

Our escorted bus tours of the California coast follow a carefully planned itinerary and move at a comfortable, unhurried pace with ample free time and frequent stops.

From the comfortable seats of brand new air conditioned charter buses, Caravan guests are treated to the sights of Southern California including:

  • Wine Country in Sonoma
  • San Joaquin Valley
  • Yosemite Park
  • Big Sur Redwoods Forest
  • Pacific Ocean coastline

The rotation of travel parties throughout the guided bus tour ensures you meet new people and capture new viewpoints while aboard the bus.

Caravan Tours’ friendly and knowledgeable bus drivers and travel guides make each section of the tour enjoyable with educational information about the sites along the way. With frequent scheduled stops, guests are never on board the bus for more than a few hours at one time.

Best of all, Caravan Tours takes care to eliminate all the worries associated with driving in Southern California (the traffic, directions, maps), and covers all of your itinerary entrance fees to National Parks.

Since then, Caravan has been recognized as a pioneer in travel. You can trust in our stability, experience and dedication to quality.
