Amazing Holidays to California

Our California holidays have always been popular and it’s easy to see why. California, the Golden state, is a land of breathtaking extremes.  Consider the Golden West 'must see' list for the following amazing sights:  The Golden Gate Bridge spanning San Francisco Bay; majestic Yosemite National Park; Death Valley, the lowest point in the Western Hemisphere; the glorious wine valleys of Napa and Sonoma; the desert oasis of Palm Springs; sprawling Los Angeles with beautiful beaches and beautiful people; the lovely coastal city and near perfect climate of San Diego; the original Disneyland; the scenic coastal drive following the Pacific Ocean along Highway 1. In fact we could go on and on for hours about our favourite places, beaches, cities and attractions that you absolutely must see on your California fly drive holiday.



California Fly Drive Holidays

It's hard to imagine a more diverse and fascinating state than California and it is this very diversity that makes fly drive California holidays such a magnet. In the morning you can be sitting on a beach watching the waves lap the shores then by the afternoon you could be halfway up a mountain taking in stunning alpine views. It's fun for all the family to take your holiday touring California as there are so many incredible options available to you. We have detailed some of our own staff favourites in the itineraries to hopefully give you some ideas and inspiration. From iconic drives to nostalgic train journeys, luxury escorted tours featuring fine dining and deluxe hotels to B&B stays in quaint seaside towns.
