2027 Tour Details View 2025 Tour Details » View 2026 Tour Details »

Set your sights higher than the Museum of Flight or the redwoods for lush green forests, cascading waterfalls, and ice-smothered volcanoes – just the opening scenes of this west side story. From Seattle to Portland and all the way to the Golden Gate of San Francisco, the dramatic views of both city and seaside astound on this nine-day Pacific Coast vacation. While Oregon’s fabled lighthouses cast their beams to reveal the wonder of the West, your Tour Director will shed light on what makes this side of the country so uniquely spectacular – from its waterfalls to its fresh catches of the day. If the Seattle coffee scene doesn’t wake you up, splash some water on your face with a jet boat ride across the wild Rogue River, explore the wind-sculpted coastal sand dunes in the Siuslaw National Forest, and journey down Redwood National Park’s Avenue of Giants. PLUS, your tour includes your choice of excursions in San Francisco so you can plan your day your way.

LINDA PEREZ

Escorting tours for more than 20 years

“By the time I was 11 years old, I knew I wanted to be a Tour Director. My parents loved to share photos of their trips with me, and they would tell me, "You should do that; you'd be great at it!" They planted a seed that grew. On my 21st birthday, I traveled on a 12-country, 30-day tour of Europe. Six months later, I enrolled in tour directing school, and I've been in this career for over 30 years. My travel advice is simple: enjoy the experiences that are unique to the places you are visiting.”
