$999 (Per Person Based Upon Double Occupancy) +$263(Single Supplement)

Day One: We’ll leave the Valley with plenty of pit stops on our way to Yuma, Arizona, where we’ll enjoy lunch on self. After lunch we’ll head for Alpine, California and the beautiful Viejas Casino Resort, our headquarters for the next three nights. The Viejas Resort offers three luxury hotel towers, along with six restaurants, a lush pool and lounge area, an outlet shopping center, full-service spa and so much more. We’ll be offered $10 towards any of the Vieja food outlets, plus $25 in gambling bucks, per night for the first two nights. We’ll check into our hotel rooms, enjoy dinner on self at the restaurant of your choice and a free evening.

Day Two: We’ll enjoy breakfast on self at the hotel—a great opportunity to use your food outlet credit. After breakfast it’s back in the Transits, and we’ll head into downtown San Diego, where we’ll board Old Town Trolleys, an amazing way to experience San Diego’s most exciting attractions. We’ll do the loop together past Hotel del Coronado, Balboa Park, Gaslamp Quarter, the Whaley House, Star of India—just to name a few—with a perfectly timed final stop at San Diego’s famous Little Italy, just in time for lunch on self. No San Diego tour would be complete without exploring this culinary hotspot—America’s biggest Little Italy! Known for its variety of restaurants, the vibrant streets of San Diego’s Italian quarter are not just lined with traditional pizza and pasta dishes, you’ll also find vegan options, juicy steaks, and so much more. Later we’ll set sail on a 2-hour narrated harbor cruise, aboard a yacht that offers both indoor and outdoor areas. We’ll explore more than 50 storied landmarks, we’ll cruise past Seaport Village, Shelter Island, Coronado Island, Point Loma, Cabrillo National Monument and more. We’ll encounter marine life and sea birds, and enjoy remarkable photo opportunities. Late afternoon we’ll return to our hotel to enjoy an evening at leisure.

Day Three: Breakfast is on self at the hotel, and we’ll again have $10 towards Viejas food outlets. After breakfast we’ll head out to explore historic Highway 101. Once the principal north/south route in California, with the construction of Interstate 5 in the 1960’s, most of Highway 101 was bypassed and barely affected by California’s explosive growth. Nowadays historic Highway 101 gives us a look back at California in its early days, and the entire 935-mile route has been given historic designation by the state of California. We’ll journey north on Highway 101, stopping to explore Del Mar, the destination of choice for movie stars and horse racing fans—offering beautiful beaches and a charming downtown. We’ll continue our journey north to Solano Beach, a small coastal community known for its unique shops and galleries. Public art is a passion in Solano Beach and we’ll enjoy the murals and architecture. From here we’ll make our way to Encinitas, known as the surf and flower capital of the world; then on to Carlsbad, home to beautiful sandy beaches and three really unique lagoons. Our next stop is Oceanside, where we’ll visit the Oceanside Pier, the longest over-the-water pier on the West Coast. We’ll enjoy a 360-degree view of the Pacific Ocean and coastline to the north and south. Along the way we’ll grab lunch on self, before arriving in La Jolla, known as “the jewel” of San Diego. Surrounded on three sides by the sea and backed by the slopes of Mt. Soledad, La Jolla’s gorgeous coastline is one of the most popular destinations in California. Later we’ll travel back to our hotel for dinner on self and a free evening.

Day Four: Breakfast is on self at the hotel, and after breakfast it’s bags out and we’re headed for home. We’ll enjoy plenty of great sightseeing and a stop for lunch on self along the way. This fun and affordable Summertime Getaway is a Kindred Tours Classic!
