CALIFORNIA RAIL DISCOVERY

TOUR DESCRIPTION

A crimson bridge, cable cars, a sparkling bay, and streets lined with elegant Victorian homes – San Francisco is undeniably one of the world’s great cities.  Reason enough to join us on a spectacular seven-day journey through Northern California on the California Rail Discovery.  A tour of the “City by the Bay” will show the city’s many highlights & features a San Francisco Bay Cruise for spectacular views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, and the beautiful skyline.  Relive history as you roll through the Napa Valley onboard vintage Pullman railcars. Drive through Old Sacramento, a unique 28-acre National Historic Landmark District that lives in homage to California’s Gold Rush of 1849. Continuing your travels, board Amtrak’s California Zephyr, which heads east into the spectacular snow-capped Sierra Nevada Mountains.
