California with Sally Mcdonald
27/08/2025
California isn’t just a place-it’s a vibe. It hums with sunshine, creativity, and endless possibility. From the misty forests of the north to the golden beaches of the south, every corner offers something unforgettable. Wander through the vineyards of Napa, hike Yosemite’s granite peaks, or cruise down the Pacific Coast Highway with the ocean beside you. The scent of citrus groves, the energy of city streets, and the glow of desert sunsets-it all stays with you. California isn’t just a destination-it’s a feeling.

Hello, my name is Sally.
California is a land of endless possibilities, where sun-drenched coastlines, majestic mountains, and vibrant cities come together to create unforgettable experiences. From the iconic Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco to the star-studded streets of Los Angeles, every corner offers something unique. Explore world-famous national parks like Yosemite and Joshua Tree, sip wine in Napa Valley, or surf the waves in Malibu. Whether you're seeking adventure, relaxation, or cultural discovery, California delivers with style and warmth. Its diverse landscapes, rich history, and laid-back vibe make it a dream destination for travelers of all kinds. Come for the views-stay for the feeling.


California is a land of contrasts and unforgettable road trips. I had a fabulous self-drive experience from San Francisco to Las Vegas, soaking in the sights along the way-from dramatic desert landscapes to iconic city skylines. The freedom of the open road, paired with stunning scenery and vibrant stops, made every mile memorable. Whether you're chasing sunsets along the coast or exploring national parks, California offers endless opportunities for adventure. We can tailor-make any holiday to suit your travel style, ensuring your journey is as unique as you are.
California: Coastlines, Cities, Endless Adventure
One of the highlights of my trip was driving down the Big Sur-a breathtaking stretch of coastline where cliffs meet the Pacific Ocean in a dramatic embrace. The scenic beauty, winding roads, and charming stops along the way made it a truly unforgettable experience. It’s the kind of place where you want to slow down, take in the views, and let the moment linger. Whether you're a nature lover, photographer, or just someone who appreciates a good road trip, Big Sur is a must-see. Let us help you plan the perfect route to make the most of California’s coastal magic.


In Los Angeles, we hired a private driver for the day, which was great fun and gave us a chance to explore areas a little off the beaten track. From quirky neighborhoods to hidden gems, it was a refreshing way to see the city beyond the usual tourist spots. California’s cities are full of surprises, and having a local guide made all the difference. Whether you're looking for luxury, adventure, or something in between, we’ll help you craft a personalized itinerary that captures the spirit of California. Your dream holiday starts here-with expert planning and unforgettable experiences.
