Start your NYC adventure off with a relaxing and scenic sightseeing cruise. Your Hop-on Hop-off CitySightseeing Ferry tour of the New York Harbor features unobstructed views of the Manhattan skyline, the Statue of Liberty, the Brooklyn Bridge and much more. A professional narrator will offer commentary along the way, so you’ll become acquainted with the city. Hop off at either of the 2 stops along the way to explore the city at your own pace. Make sure you hop-off near Times Square (Pier 78 stop) to discover two unique New York attractions: Ripley’s Believe It Or Not and the all-new Gulliver’s Gate. When you enter Gulliver’s Gate, a whole new world awaits. Discover a universe of miniature replicas of sights ranging from the Parthenon to the Great Wall of China, displayed in detailed geographically themed exhibits, including an elaborate homage to New York City. But don’t expect everything to be exactly as it is on a map – Gulliver’s Gate is all about imagination. You’ll even see visions of the past, like Chinatown at the turn of the century. Back in the real world, things are only getting more interesting! Step inside Ripley’s Believe It or Not to see some of the most extraordinary real artifacts from around the world. Two-headed animals, shrunken heads and massive scrap metal sculptures will amaze and delight you as you roam through 2 full floors of odd exhibits. And finally, you can’t leave New York without fully experiencing the city’s most iconic attraction: the Empire State Building. Inside the skyscraper, check out the newly renovated Art Deco lobby, the sustainability and historical exhibits, and free self-guided multimedia tour. Then, ascend 1,050 feet above the streets to the 86th floor observatory deck, where you’ll have 360-degree views of the city skyline and beyond. It’s every bit as romantic as you’ve imagined!   ** Does NOT include Bus Tour**

After departing San Francisco, you’ll head through California’s capital city, Sacramento, through the Sierra foothills and into the famous Gold Rush Country, cresting a high mountain pass within the Sierra Nevada. Then we’ll wind our way through large pine forests, before dramatically descending into South Lake Tahoe. Afternoon:  In the evening, we’ll settle into our centrally located hotel and then head out to happy hour with the Apres Ski crowd at the base of Heavenly Mountain Resort before a comfy night’s rest.   SAMPLE ITINERARY – DAY 2 (FRIDAY) SOUTH LAKE TAHOE: CHOOSE YOUR ADVENTURE All Day:  While masses of people are piling into their cars to head to the mountains, you’ll be on the first lift up to carve the groomers, or to get fresh tracks in that Heavenly powder! Don’t worry if you’re not really into skiing, our guides will offer the opportunity to go out on a fabulously scenic drive on the mountain roads surrounding Lake Tahoe, or maybe even a snowshoe adventure! If you’re really just here for the casinos, they’re open 24 hours, and you’re welcome to see if Lady Luck is on your side all day if you like! Don’t want to miss out on any of it? No problem, we’re flexible: our guides know their stuff, and we’ll help you fit in a scenic drive in the morning, get yourself a half day ticket on the mountain, and then hit the casinos all night long!   SAMPLE ITINERARY – DAY 3 (SATURDAY) SOUTH LAKE TAHOE TO SQUAW VALLEY & TRUCKEE, CA Morning:  We’ll hit the road early this morning and head toward historic Tahoe City taking in views of Emerald Bay before heading toward the famous Squaw Valley Resort. If you’re heading up onto this epic ski and snowboarding destination today, you’ll be glad if you dusted off the cobwebs on Heavenly yesterday. This place is the real deal, where you can often see extreme athletes pushing the envelope, soaring from the cliffs as you ride up the famous KT-22 Express. Make sure you bring your swimsuit too: the High Camp Pool and Hot Tub high on the resort is open for business…all winter long! This side of the lake also offers amazing snowshoeing or cross country skiing opportunities as well. Once again, you’ll be offered the choice to head up on the ski hill, or we’ll take you out on the trails through Stanislaus National Forest or maybe a snowshoe hike near the Donner Memorial State Park and explore the history of the ill-fated pioneers of the Donner Party as they struggled to travel west in their wagons and became stranded in the winter of 1846-47. Afternoon/Evening:  After a full day of winter adventures, we’ll head into the historic town of Truckee, CA to check into our accommodation for the evening, and then head out for dinner and a night on the town with the locals.   SAMPLE ITINERARY – DAY 4 (SUNDAY) TRUCKEE TO SAN FRANCISCO Morning:  After three days of taking advantage of some incredible Sierra Nevada fun, we will be headed back down the pass toward the city by the bay. While traveling back through the beautiful foothills of California, you’ll experience more of the beauty witnessed by our country’s first western explorers. We’ll make some final stops at small town favorites such as Ikeda’s Country Pie Shop in historic Auburn, California as well as driving through the state capital, Sacramento. Afternoon (approx 3:30pm):  After crossing the iconic Bay Bridge, you will be dropped off at our San Francisco hotel around 3:30 PM for check in… as well as some much needed rest before heading back out to catch some more of your favorite sights around the city.   **Sample Itineraries: Please note that due to rapidly-changing conditions beyond our control (weather, crowds, traffic) and the small size of our vehicles/groups, our guides have the flexibility to adjust your itinerary to best suit the group’s needs. While we guarantee we’ll do our best to provide you with all of the highlights within this Lake Tahoe Winter Adventure Tour itinerary (conditions permitting), we don’t guarantee them in this specific order. **
