California Tours & Holidays

As the third-largest state in the USA, California boasts every type of landscape you can imagine.

From dramatic mountains and wild desert to sandy beaches and lush vineyards in northern California, there is a fantastic breadth of experiences to be had here. Outside of its natural attractions, visitors can take advantage of the many attractions served up by its glittering cities - from museums and galleries to photogenic landmarks and plush resorts like Palm Springs. Whether you opt for a city break in Santa Barbara, a tour of the region's world-famous national parks or a visit to Disneyland, California holidays offer plenty of fun in the sun.

With such a great variety of destinations to choose from, it's hard to decide which part of the Golden State to explore. One of the state's most popular cities, San Francisco is home to the iconic Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz, while Los Angeles offers trendy bars and boutiques and a taste of Hollywood. For a more laid-back destination, visit San Diego and stroll around its restored Downtown area or ever-popular San Diego Zoo, or unwind in Santa Monica - its ocean-front boardwalk and famed Venice beach form the epitome of sun-drenched California beach holidays.

More than 90% of the USA's wine is made in California, and what better way to take advantage of this than a wine tasting trip? The state's best wine comes from the sun-drenched Napa and Sonoma valleys, which are within easy reach of San Francisco.

A tour of California also means ample opportunities to sample high-quality seafood. From Dungeness crab and oysters in San Francisco to clams and shrimp in Monterey, the state is brimming with fresh local fare.
