Begin with a San Francisco Coach Tour

Every Caravan California coach tour begins in San Francisco; the beautiful City by the Bay. Cross over the Golden Gate Bridge, enjoy a scenic Bay cruise and explore top San Francisco attractions like Union Square, Chinatown and Nob Hill. With Caravan Tours you don’t have to worry about traffic, parking or navigating San Francisco’s steep roads – you can just sit back and enjoy the ride!

Wine Tasting Tour In Sonoma Wine Country

From San Francisco, our California coach tour heads to Sonoma Wine Country where you get to enjoy wine tasting at a local Napa Valley vineyard. Sonoma is just north of San Francisco and offers world-class wines made from over 400 local wineries. In 2012, Sonoma County was named one the top US wine tour destinations by TripAdvisor.

Visit Yosemite National Park!

Prior to heading down south from San Francisco along the magnificent California coastal highway, our US motor coach tour travels east for a visit to Yosemite National Park. The distance from San Francisco to Yosemite National Park is only 3.5 hours and well worth the scenic drive! Caravan guests are treated to a day at Yosemite Park, including a one-night stay at Yosemite Park Lodge. There’s plenty of sightseeing including Yosemite Falls, Bridal Veil Falls and Half Dome (giant granite monoliths). Once off the bus, tour guests have a chance to explore the park at their afternoon leisure.

Escorted Coach Tours along the California Pacific Coast Highway

From Yosemite Park, Caravan’s motor coach tour travels to the coast of California then heads south along the world’s most beautiful coastal highway. Some of the numerous major tourist attractions that California has to offer include Monterey, Carmel, California’s old-growth Pacific redwood trees and Big Sur.

Walk With the Stars in Beverly Hills and Hollywood

After visiting Santa Barbara, it’s on to Los Angeles where guests get to spend time shopping on Rodeo Drive, and stop at Mann’s (Grauman’s) Chinese Theater, or stand among the stars on Hollywood’s “Walk of the Stars” sidewalk. While in Hollywood, and as part of our tour itinerary, you can enjoy a behind-the-scenes tour of Sony Studios and explore popular TV and movie sets.

This TV production took about one month to make and was so successful it inspired the 1968 romantic comedy movie “If it’s Tuesday this must be Belgium.” In the early 50’s the Mayor of Dublin presented Caravan with the Key to Dublin for bringing the first American tour to the city after WWII. Since then, Caravan has been recognized as a pioneer in travel. You can trust in our stability, experience and dedication to quality.
