Overview

California Since the Sixties

A tour for anyone who likes new adventures and wants a unique, in-depth experience of the Golden State.

The focus of the tour will be historical, cultural and recreational. We will explore San Francisco (including Golden Gate Park, Haight-Ashbury, the Palace of Fine Arts, and North Beach and take the ferry to the unique cultural enclave of Sausalito - along with options like theatre, jazz, cable cars, Alcatraz prison, and Giants baseball).

We will cross the Golden Gate Bridge to Napa Valley (and ride the delightful wine train), before proceeding to Lake Tahoe in the Sierra Nevada mountains (options include rafting, kayaking, and water-skiing). We will also visit Los Angeles, including relaxing on Santa Monica & Venice Beaches, and visits to the Getty Museums, Universal Studios, and the Griffiths Observatory.
