A vast urban park in the heart of San Francisco, Golden Gate Park brims with botanical gardens, lakes, cultural centers, and architectural structures.
A UNESCO heritage site and one of the most spectacular geological spectacles in the world, Grand Canyon is a gorge where nature is still working its magic.
In the iconic stretch of Las Vegas Boulevard, neon lights, buzzing casinos, luxury venues, and the replicas of famous urban landmarks lie as far as the eye can see.
In the heart of the Colorado Plateau, majestic sandstone blocks rise to the sky and dominate the entire landscape with their otherworldly looks.
Oak Creek is a breathtaking river gorge in Arizona, where the contrast between red rocks and flowing water is a spectacle, almost equal in beauty to the Grand Canyon.
Hollywood luxury brought to the desert, Palm Springs is an energetic city bustling with hot spring resorts, shopping districts, and stylish venues.
Santa Barbara offers a piece of the Mediterranean on the Californian coast, a postcard city where wine, stylish restaurants, and romantic buildings dominate the scene.
Immense in size and extremely rich in biodiversity, the charmful Sonoran Desert is one of the major life sources of Arizona, if not the entire Southwest.
With charismatic rock walls, intriguing sequoia trees, and majestic valleys, Yosemite is a diverse natural wonderland tucked away in the Sierra Nevada.
Shaped by the Virgin River, Zion Canyon is a desert oasis with forests, waterfalls, and canyons, home to America’s most recognized hiking spots, such as Angel’s Landing.
Welcome to Los Angeles! Meet your group and tour leader in the evening for an informal welcome at the hotel. Until then, feel free to roam the streets of L.A like a local or rest up for our great adventure ahead!
Our journey begins in the morning as we ride through an ocean of wind turbines and enter the desert oasis of Palm Springs at the base of the San Jacinto Mountains! This lively town and its famous perfectly-kept golf courses make it the ideal winter retreat for the Hollywood elite. We continue through Indio, where the International Date Festival in Coachella Valley is held, to reach our hotel in Phoenix for a good night’s rest.
We start the day with a panoramic ride through the Sonoran Desert, the most biologically-diverse desert ecosystem in America. Continuing towards Sedona, witness fascinating views of unique geological formations and spot famed red-rock monoliths such as the Cathedral or Coffee Pot along the way. Then we drive through the breathtaking Oak Creek Canyon setting up the scene for the world-famous Grand Canyon National Park, one of the seven great natural wonders and most impressive sceneries of the world! Pause at the rim of the Canyon to fully experience and appreciate this colourful mile-deep canyon and all its plunging gorges and rising spires formed by the powerful Colorado River.
Delving further into the wondrous lands of the Soutwest, ride inlands to the Navajo Indian Reservation passing via Cameron, a trading post en route. Making our way to Monument Valley through the magical Painted Desert, soak in this most iconic display of the American West, characterized by clusters of sandstone buttes reaching up to 300-metres dotting the vast landscape. Late in the afternoon, we arrive in the town Page, located by a beautiful mesa over the Colorado River.
We resume our adventure with a visit to the colossal Glen Canyon Dam, the second highest concrete-arch dam in the United States. Marvel at fascinating views of Lake Powell, where canyon walls of red-rock tower over crystal blue waters. Riding forward to the Mormon state of Utah, cruise past the town of Kanab before arriving the amazing Bryce Canyon. Take a tour through a multi-coloured world of sandstone spires and pinnacles, also known as “hoodoos”, that dazzle the eye! This evening, weather permitting, make sure to gaze upon the enchanting night-sky with sparkling stars & breath-taking constellations.
Our first stop today will be the famous Zion National Park, where you can view the gorgeous massive rock formations shaped over millions of year by winds and the Virgin River. Our motto for the remainder of the day is Viva Las Vegas! In the afternoon, experience the contrast of buzzing Las Vegas, Nevada, the dazzling “Entertainment Capital of the World”.

The day is all yours to spend at leisure! Shop at designer outlet stores, try your luck at the wonder-like casinos, attend a top-notch show or musical, and stroll the world-renowned Las Vegas Strip at your own pace. Though also known as ‘Sin City’, Las Vegas boasts plentiful attractions for all ages!
Our journey takes a turn from the bustling and glamorous Las Vegas to the silence and extreme nature of Death Valley. First making a stop at the iconic Las Vegas Sign for a quick photo, we continue to Zabriskie Point and Furnace Creek Ranch/Visitors Center. Crossing the valley we ascend the Sierra Nevada Mountains for the beautiful ski resort town of Mammoth Lakes*. Renowned as a gold-mining town during the gold rush in 19th century, Mammoth Lakes is now acclaimed for its skiing-friendly terrain and incredible mountain scenery.
*Winter Route for departures between October and May under normal snow conditions: In case Tioga Pass is closed due to weather or road conditions, we will not be able to visit Mammoth Lakes and stay in Fresno or Visalia.

We will have a refreshing rest tonight in the nearby town of Modesto.
Departing early in the morning, make your way to the ‘Golden City’, San Francisco! Before entering the hotel, embark on a comprehensive sightseeing tour of unique landmarks with your tour leader and catch your bearing. Spend the afternoon at your leisure exloring the famed city inside out.
The day is yours to shape to your wish, San Francisco has it all! Feel free to ask your Tour Leader for recommendations or assistance in making plans. Take a cable car ride to Fisherman’s Wharf while gazing upon the famous Alcatraz island, and have a true ‘taste of San Francisco’, feasting on local seafood and the unique sourdough breads. Roam Union Square filled with many shops and restaurants. Alternatively, you may take an optional tour to Napa Valley, world-renowned for its premium wineries and fascinating scenery.
Departing San Francisco in the morning, drive along the coast to the Monterey Peninsula, known for its charming homes lined along lovely beaches. Here we visit Fisherman’s Wharf and the famous Cannery Row, followed by a tour of the fairytale-like community of Carmel-by-the-Sea. This small beach town is noted for its unique architecture, exclusive art galleries and stores. In the afternoon, we ride on southward through Paso Robles, a quaint town on the Central Coast for our overnight stay.
Cruising the highway further south through the Santa Ynez valley into Santa Barbara, enjoy views of palm-lined streets bordering vast white sandy beaches. Our next stop will be Santa Monica, the final stop of Historic Route 66, where you may enjoy an optional lunch on the pier.
