Small groups lead to big experiences on this Small Group Discovery tour! Designed from the ground up for a maximum of 24 guests in North America, you'll enjoy up-close discoveries, meaningful local connections, and exclusive experiences that go beyond traditional touring.

From the City of Angels to the City by the Bay, discover California through its coastal scenery, agricultural traditions, creative communities, and celebrated wine regions. Begin in Los Angeles with guided sightseeing in Hollywood and historic Olvera Street before heading north to Santa Barbara, the "American Riviera," where Mediterranean-style architecture meets the Pacific coast. Cruise Santa Barbara Harbor with views of Channel Islands National Park, explore the Danish-inspired village of Solvang, and meet SLO CAL's sustainability champions, the Junk Girls, who transform reclaimed materials into imaginative works of art.

Along the Central Coast, tour a lavender farm, enjoy a slow-food dining experience, and visit a private olive estate to learn about cultivation and production techniques. Explore Monterey and Carmel-by-the-Sea, travel the famed 17-Mile Drive past Pebble Beach and the iconic Lone Cypress, and discover the agricultural heritage of California's Central Valley through honey, mead, and local flavors.

Then savor the best of California Wine Country with guided sightseeing in Napa Valley and Sonoma, where rolling vineyards, acclaimed wineries, and a private wine tasting showcase the region's rich winemaking traditions. Filled with coastal beauty, culinary discoveries, local artisans, and Wine Country experiences, this Small Group Discovery tour reveals the many flavors of California.

Stay a little longer with two extra nights in San Francisco! Get to know this iconic city with a hop-on, hop-off sightseeing pass to explore at your own pace. Stroll Fisherman's Wharf for fresh sourdough bread, clam chowder, and Ghirardelli chocolate, or take time to discover the city's neighborhoods, ride a historic cable car, bike across the Golden Gate Bridge to Sausalito, or explore the Presidio.
