Our Most Popular Routes

The first step in creating your itinerary is to answer the question of where. Several factors can play a role in answering that question, including how much time you have, what destinations you had in mind when you began dreaming about your trip, what types of things you're interested in doing, and how far you're willing to travel. Because every itinerary we create is unique, the ultimate route you take may look nothing like anything we've ever done before. But, nearly a decade of experience has taught us that certain routes tend to work well for a large number of clients.

Here are two routes that have proven to be very popular through the years. They cover some of the most notable destinations in California, offering a high degree of variety in both sights and activities. Have a look at them, and let them stimulate your holiday dreaming. You may find that one looks perfect the way it is,and we can use that as the basis of your holiday planning. Alternatively, you may decide that a little trimming in order to fit your needs, or that you'd like to go with something completely different. Whatever your vision, we'll make it happen for you just the way you like it.

Once we've decided on a route that includes the destinations you're most interested in visiting, we'll get into the specifics of how much time to spend in a given destination, and what activities to focus on while you're there.
