The Golden State
The Golden State is always a firm favourite of any visit to the US. Vast, iconic, diverse, glamorous, cultured, adventurous, muiscal, theatrical. The state has it all.
Halsall Travel has recent personal experience to draw from after a 3-week family holiday and also a plethora of personal trade contacts to help you create your very own iconic Californian journey. Following attendance at the Connections luxury travel show in March 2022 and his own personal road trip from Los Angeles – Santa Monica – Malibu – Santa Barbara – Big Sur – Monterey Peninsular – San Francisco and Napa and Sonoma Valleys the entire journey can be viewed on the Halsall Travel International YouTube Channel. We hope it gives you some inspiration.
Whether you are looking for the best vineyards to visit in the Napa and Sonoma Valleys (or indeed around Santa Barbara where Sideways was filmed or around the Monterey Peninsula) or visiting the famous National Parks of Yosemite, Kings Canyon and Sequoia we can tailor make your special California-dreaming journey.
Wherever you wish to start your road trip and however much time you have to spend, we like to think we have the passion, expertise and contacts to create a journey to remember.
We have exceptional local Californian partners, guides, artisans and regional tourist boards that we work closely with to offer private experiences from deep sea fishing off the Monterey Peninsula, to meeting and dining with a winemaker to a history or food tour of San Francisco.
