Day One
Fly west, across the North Atlantic, to San Francisco, the fabled 'City by the Bay'. Coach transfer to your first hotel for a three-night stay.
Day Two
Today's optional guided tour offers an excellent way to get to know this diverse city. After a short introduction, we'll cross the breathtaking Golden Gate Bridge to the delightful waterfront community of Sausalito. Here you'll have time to explore this lively town, where the Beat poets and artists once thrived, before returning to the city by ferry, passing forbidding Alcatraz Island. Then perhaps explore bustling Fisherman's Wharf and its many shops.
Day Three
Spend the day at leisure. Perhaps take a walk along the Bay to Pier 39 for a glimpse of the sea lions, stroll through the beautiful Japanese Tea Garden in Golden Gate Park, or visit the shops for a souvenir of your trip. This evening, why not head to colourful Chinatown or choose from one of the excellent eateries on Nob Hill?
Day Four
Today we head south on the Pacific Coast Highway. We'll call at two towns linked by the scenic 17-Mile Drive - Carmel-by-the-Sea, renowned for its natural beauty and rich artistic history, and Monterey, immortalized by one-time resident John Steinbeck, before continuing to Morro Bay for an overnight stay.
Day Five
Continue our journey south towards the sprawling metropolis which is Los Angeles. En route, visit the star-spangled streets of Hollywood before continuing to our hotel for a three-night stay.
Day Six
Rest, relax and explore at your leisure.
Day Seven
Join today's optional excursion to the laid-back coastal city of San Diego, one of California's most sparkling jewels.
Day Eight
Today we head inland and across the desert to Laughlin, an oasis bordered by rugged desert and the Colorado River, and your base for the next two nights.
Day Nine
Our included visit to the Grand Canyon introduces you to one of the world's greatest natural wonders and to nearly two billion years of the Earth's geological history. Experience the canyon's awe-inspiring beauty from above on our optional flight by helicopter - truly an unforgettable experience.
Day Ten
Today you'll journey to Las Vegas for a three-night stay.
Day Eleven
Discover stunning, glittering, glorious Las Vegas, the world's most colourful entertainment centre. Nothing can prepare you for the glitz, glamour and sheer scale of this monument to man's capacity for fun. Perhaps visit the Hoover Dam on our optional excursion. One of the most remarkable engineering feats of the 20th Century, the dam contains Lake Mead, and is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the US. This evening, join our optional helicopter flight for the chance to see its colour and opulence from the skies above.
Day Twelve
Spend today exploring Vegas, before this evening's optional excursion introduces you to Vegas by night, the highlights of which are the wonderful 'dancing' fountains at the Bellagio Hotel. Afterwards, you're free to try your hand at one of the casinos for the ultimate Vegas experience.
