About this Trip
A visit to California wouldn’t be complete without a road trip through Los Angeles to San Francisco. The drive along the PCH is magnificent and showcases much of what California has to offer. The highway, also known as State Route 1 or Shoreline Highway, includes 450 miles of Pacific Coast Highway and is surely one of the most iconic road trips America has to offer. Our California coast trip is the easiest and most convenient way to explore all the Golden State has to offer. Each guest will experience firsthand what it means to be a true local of Southern California, visiting some of the most famous landmarks of Los Angeles and San Francisco. This includes a drive through the Big Sur region and the relaxing and simultaneously exciting atmosphere of Santa Barbara, Monterey, Silicon Valley, and even Stanford University. Your guide will make plenty of stops along the 17 Mile Drive in order for you to take pictures of Pebble Beach, the Bixby Bridge, amongst others. Not only does this break up the trip, but it also rings true to Ralph Waldo Emerson’s quote, “life is a journey, not a destination.” In experiencing the California Coast Tour, you will have a newfound understanding of California’s state of mind. California Coast Tour with Classic Experiences – An epic summer Pacific Coast Highway road trip is as American as apple pie.
