Rating for tour operator:

The information in the booklet and maps were excellent, although we could have done with revised instructions for the journey from Yosemite to Death Valley as the summer road was still closed.

Holiday of a Lifetime

Mainly a driving tour from SF to AL via Yosemitre, made extra special by the excellent support advice and knowledge of Vacations to America.

The whole team is fantastic. Nothing is too much trouble. They know the whys and the wherefores, the must dos and donts and the little bits of detail that we would not have found out by just browsing the internet. Cannot recommend this company more highly, thank you to everyone at VTA.

We went to them with a basic idea of what we wanted to do. With their background knowledge they were able to suggested a few changes to make the route more workable and some ( very nice) additions that we hadn't thought of. That wasnt final, we had a constructive dialogue with them over a few weeks before the final plan was decided upon. A handy booklet detailing the accomodation and suggestions of things to do was provided. A variety of differing accomodations ranging from luxury hotels to a charming cabin in the woods were booked generally to a standard requested by us. Overall there was a diversity to to the places we stayed and visited making for a very wnjoyable experience.

Brilliant, the accommodations were splendid in excellent locations

We went to the USA, flying into Oakland (San Francisco) airport, picked up a hire car and went travelling. Our first destination was the Yosemite area for 4 nights. Moving onto Lake Tahoe for 4 nights again, the 3 nights in Monterey before flying out of Oakland.

We had travelled with them before, when we did New England in the Fall in 2009, which they organised beautifully, which is why we suggested trying them to our local travel agent, (Fred Olsen Travel in Felixstowe). Again they did a splendid job of putting everything together into an overall package that worked perfectly.

Wonderful California

Everything that had been organised via Vacations to America. Our trip was for 17 nights and included 5 seperate locations. Vacations To America was superb from start to finish. The flights, accommodations, car hire and excursions were faultless and second to none. Absolutely brilliant! Our holiday included a show in Vegas and a helicopter trip to the Grand Canyon. Everything was organised for us and all went smoothly without any hitches

Vacations to America are a first class company who we have used for a number of years. Nothing is too much trouble and they are helpful and professional at all times. They ensure that we are looked after to a very high standard. I recommend them constantly to friends and family and would not use anyone else for our vacation needs.

Diversity of Experiences

Our holiday was a road trip around California culminating in a two night stay in Las Vegas Nevada. We visited San Francisco, Yosemite National Park, Monterey and the surrounding area, San Luis Obispo, Los Angeles (staying in Santa Monica) and San Diego before flying to Las Vegas. Our accomodation on route was as diverse and interesting as the sights along the way and added to the overall enjoyment and comfort of the holiday.

Both the staff at Vacations to America and our agents Julie and Neil Bullock for Spear Travels were excellent. They worked together to create an itinerary that catered for our individual interests. Absolutely nothing was too much trouble, even booking a last minute tour of San Francisco and Alcatraz which we recognise was a big ask!
