Quintessential Tours is not your average tour company.
We do the planning. We
do the arranging. We do the driving.
That really covers it in a nutshell. We design and arrange
customized tours in and around California, for clients
who either can't drive, or don't want to. Our tours
are intimate, family-style experiences, that allow you
to experience our part of the world in the same way
you might if you were visiting relatives who were able
to take the time to guide you around their home territory.
Who is the service for?
Small groups of 10 people or fewer who want a rich personalized
experience, but don't want to do their own driving.
There are companies that cater to larger groups; we're
not them. Our service is specifically designed for couples,
families and small groups of friends.
How does it work?
Designing the Trip
Once we've, confirmed our availability for your dates,
and reserved them on our calendar, we get straight into
the process of designing a holiday that includes the
destinations and activities that best match your interests.
We accomplish this by having you fill out our online
questionnaire through which we gather information about
the things you're interested in seeing and doing, the
types of accommodations you'd like to stay in, what
pace you'd like travel, etc. We use this information
to create a draft of your trip plan, and utilize your
feedback in order to hone the plan to completion.
Making Arrangements
After agreeing on the plan, we'll price, book and confirm
your accommodations, any locally hosted activities requiring
prebooking, and your vehicle. We also book/confirm any
airfare associated with your itinerary. You will have
the opportunity to review and approve each arrangement
before we finalie it.
The Trip
When you arrive at the airport, we will be there to
meet you. From that point, until we drop you off at
an airport to fly home, you have a personal driver and
guide for the duration of your trip.
