of America
Land of opportunity
Americas waiting to be explored, as just a brief ride on a New York
subway will demonstrate.
San Francisco
America’s cities are amongst the most exciting in the world. Sprawling
Los Angeles, the fulfillment of the American dream; San Francisco,
riding on its sea of hills
above the bay; the
towering skyscrapers
of the Big Apple, New York,
the city that never sleeps;
Orlando, where Walt Disney
®
World Resort, Universal
Studios and SeaWorld®
provide fun and fantasy
for the entire family;
Washington is much
more than merely the
nation’s capital; and
sparkling Las Vegas
is a city built for pleasure.
Festivals, food, fireworks,
fairs, theme parks, art,
drama, sports, music and
museums – the USA offers
a wide range of activities
for the vacationer.
Amongst the many surprising things about the USA is that most first-time
visitors find it very different from what they expect it to be. After all,
most impressions of the country are gained through a plethora of films,
television and advertising emanating out of the USA making it the most
publicised country in the world. But the projected image disguises

country visitors are enthralled by its magnificent landscapes – silent
forests, slumbering volcanoes, wide farmlands spread across the plains,
arid deserts, soaring snow-peaked mountains, broad rivers, deep canyons
and rocky shorelines all invite exploration. Particularly in the west, the
scenery is unequalled, from the glacial grandeur of Yosemite and the

Excursions/Hotels
Muir Woods & Sausalito
Half-day seat-in-coach excursion
This tour takes you from busy
San Francisco across the Golden
Gate Bridge and through the
gentle countryside and along the
rock-strewn coast of rural Marin
County. Most of the giant redwood
trees – some of the oldest and
tallest trees on earth that once
covered the area were chopped
down to build San Francisco’s
Victorian houses. However, one
towering grove still remains at
Muir Woods. This is the only
surviving primordial redwood
forest; a tranquil place where
sunlight filters 100 metres down
through the canopy of 1,000-yearold trees to the laurel and ferncovered canyon floor below.
Sausalito
A short distance away, with a stunning view of San Francisco across the
bay, is Sausalito – once a rough little town of fishermen, boat builders
and traders. Today it is dotted with exclusive restaurants and fashionable
boutiques that line its waterfront promenade. Ferries from San Francisco
bustle in and out of the harbour and quirky hillside homes are nestled on
the steep, wooded slopes that rise above the rocky shore. All this together
creates an atmosphere that is reminiscent of the Italian Riviera.
This excursion includes pick-up and drop-off to your hotel with an
English-speaking guide.
