Guided tours Côte Ouest Etats-Unis

This serene beach is located on the east side of Lake Tahoe. It offers one of the most beautiful views of the lake.

Rather general tour of 3 hours, rather advised at the beginning of the stay, because it gives a global vision of San Francisco. Helen, a charming little woman full of good recommendations, will talk about the evolution of the city with passion. You become San-Franciscan at the end of the day.

Departures approximately every 45 minutes depending on the season (get information on the Red and White Fleet site). Two major towers are proposed: Visit the bay through the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcrataz, and the bridge to bridge, more complete. This company has our own choice of audio guides (in French, of course) with quite crisp information about the city, its surroundings and its inescapable golden dates. A real bowl of fresh air absorbed at an educational outlet. Coup de coeur for the California Sunset Cruise, in the sunset…

This guided tour covers some 40 km and 12 stops, where passengers can board as they wish - and as many times as they wish in the same day. Operating since 1989, this tour is an interesting option to discover San Diego. The program includes: Old Town Market, Maritime Museum, Embarcadero Marina, Seaport Village, Marriott Marquis and Marina, Gaslamp Quarter, East Convention Center - Petco Park and Hilton Bayfront, Barrio Logan, Hotel Del Coronado, Coronado / Orange Avenue, Balboa Park / Zoo and Little Italy.

Whale-watching tours led by marine biologists in Monterey Bay. For over 30 years, this company has filmed documentaries for Nat Geo and the BBC, among others. During orca and humpback whale season, easy online booking is recommended. The minimum tour is 3 to 4 hours to see the whales in high season, but you'll need to take the 8-hour tour to see the whales and orcas in April-May when they're in the bay. A tour we recommend if you're here in spring.

This website is really great: it lists every possible themed tour of San Francisco, with a handy calendar of visits over the next few days (at least a dozen a day in low season). The principle? The tour is "free", organized by "volunteers", but you'll need to leave a tip of course, which is quite high for the 90 to 120-minute tour. For each tour, you'll need to pre-register online, where available dates are conveniently displayed.
