Optionals

On every itinerary, we offer a range of optional excursions that allow you to further enhance your experience should you so choose. These are purchased when you are on your trip, via your Trafalgar Travel Director. Depending on the region visited these can be paid with cash or credit card.

  • SAN FRANCISCO

    • + EXCURSION TO CARMEL AND MONTEREY Marvel at one spectacular view after another as you travel down California's rugged central coast on fabled Highway 1 (road conditions permitting) through the seaside town of Santa Cruz to the Monterey Peninsula. Stops include Steinbeck's Cannery Row in Monterey, points along scenic 17 Mile Drive around Monterey Bay, and the art gallery/restaurant district of picturesque Carmel. Crossing from the historic to the futuristic, your tour returns through the Silicon Valley, the high tech capital of the United States. Tour length: 11 hours.

    • + EXCURSION TO MUIR WOODS AND SAUSALITO Travel north across the Golden Gate Bridge to Muir Woods National Monument, one of the few remaining groves of Virgin Coastal Redwoods which are among the oldest and tallest trees in the world reaching heights of up to 258 feet and averaging 500-800 years of age. Explore the trails leading you into the heart of its cathedral-like grove. On your way back to the city, stop in Sausalito, an alluring village of art galleries, quaint shops and waterfront restaurants with views of San Francisco across the bay. Its cliff-hanging cottages and houseboat community create a Mediterranean ambience, but the locals you will see are pure “California.” Tour length: 3.5 hours.

    • + GOURMET WALK IN SAN FRANCISCO S HAYES VALLEY Visit San Francisco's Hayes Valley with Gourmet Walks on a 2 hour walking and tasting tour. Hayes Valley is full of culture, art and amazing food. On this tour, you will learn about what is hot in the San Francisco food scene while strolling its scenic streets. You'll learn the story behind each business and have time to shop at the end of the tour.

  • NAPA VALLEY

    • + NAPA VALLEY HOT AIR BALLOONING Rise early for the experience of a lifetime! Your hot air balloon flight begins at sunrise in either the most scenic areas of the Upper Napa Valley – Oakville, Rutherford, St. Helena, Calistoga – or Winters or Capay Valley as determined by the winds. Soar peacefully in colorful hot air balloons and float silently above the trees and fields, lush vineyards and orchards and world-renown wineries. The sensation of ballooning is very gentle and its calming effect seems to put the world below into perspective. Your pilots are all experienced, professional and FAA commercially rated. They are familiar with the valley and dedicated to ensuring that your ballooning experience is safe, informative, memorable and fun! Tour length: 3.5 hours (Weather permitting).

  • NAPA

    • + NAPA VALLEY WINE TRAIN LUNCH Enjoy a freshly prepared lunch aboard the Napa Valley Wine Train while vineyards and wineries pass by outside your window on a relaxing round-trip journey between the historic town of Napa through one of the world's most famous wine valleys to the quaint village of St. Helena and back. The tracks upon which the Napa Valley Wine Train runs were originally built in the 1860s to bring guests to the hot spring resort town of Calistoga. While the track to Calistoga no longer exists, much of the rest of the route of the Napa Valley Wine Train is unchanged. Due to the immense influence that rail transport had over the development of the communities and wineries of the Napa Valley, there is no shortage of sights to see during the three hour journey. Five towns; Napa, Yountville, Oakville, Rutherford and St. Helena; and numerous wineries can be seen through the large picture windows on board the Wine Train. Tour length: 3 hours.
