San Francisco is one of the most exciting cities in the United States and has something for everyone. Be sure to experience the eight hairpin turns of Lombard Street, take a ferry to Alcatraz Island and explore Fisherman’s Wharf.

You could also rent a bike and cycle across the iconic Golden Gate Bridge, taking some stunning pictures along your way to Sausalito where you can take a ferry back to San Francisco.

After collecting your hire car from downtown San Francisco, you will head to the town of Napa. Napa Valley is considered to be one of the best wine producing regions in the USA and is home to 400 plus wineries. Visit different wineries, take a wine tasting session and enjoy the idyllic surroundings.

Today’s drive will take you east via the old Copper mining town of Copperopolis, which is registered as a California Historical Landmark, before taking you into Mariposa County, home to one of the most recognisable National Parks in the USA, Yosemite. Whilst here, discover the breathtaking sights of Yosemite Falls, El Capitan and Tunnel View.

Today is all about the stunning drive via the Tioga Pass to Death Valley National Park, home to barren desert landscapes sculpted through the harsh summers and temperate winters. Here you will find the lowest point in the western hemisphere at 282ft below sea level at Badwater. See the aptly named Devil’s Golf Course and enjoy your overnight stay at the Ranch at Death Valley, where you can watch the sunset over the distant mountains.

A spectacular drive awaits on the Palms to Pines Highway and be sure to stop at The Paradise Valley Café for lunch. Carry on your drive to the Temecula Wine Country which is the heart of the Central Coast Wine Region. At 1,500 foot above sea level, the elevation makes for cool nights and delightful breezes every afternoon throughout the summer.

Today you’ll embark on a short drive down to San Diego and, by taking Interstate-5, you’ll be hugging the dramatic pacific coastline and will be able to visit the coastal towns of Oceanside, Carlsbad and Del Mar.
