Tauck Tours’ New California Gold Coast Vacation

Tauck’s ultimate California tour is a progressive experience of the state’s coastal treasures, stretching from San Diego to San Francisco. Discover the historic beauty of its 18th-century missions, Los Angeles’ hip Farmers Market, the grace of seaside Santa Barbara, the Central Coast wine region, wildlife in Morro Bay, marine life in Monterey, and the charm of Carmel. Enjoy a champagne dinner cruise on San Diego’s Big Bay, lunch at the Ragged Point Inn overlooking the Big Sur coastline, a tour of Hearst Castle, a private vineyard tour and wine tasting, and the grandeur of Yosemite.Vacation Inclusions:

The weather you will encounter in California ranges from cool maritime conditions in San Francisco to hot and sunny conditions in southern California. Your journey is designed with leisure in mind. Dress for comfort and convenience with a wardrobe that is adaptable and allows for layering.

Generally, during the day, casual, comfortable, cotton clothing is recommended. Cool weather at higher elevations or at night will require warmer, layered clothing. For the welcome and farewell receptions, casual resort wear is appropriate; formal wear is never required.

We recommend that you pack an adequate supply of your prescription medication in its original container to last through your entire journey, together with a copy of your doctor’s prescription, or a letter from your health-care provider on office stationery explaining that the medication has been prescribed for you, your travel documents and a change of clothing in your carry-on bag to avoid any inconvenience in the event that your flight or luggage is delayed.
