Private Tours of the Central Coast and High Sierras

Welcome to Central Coast Sightseeing. Our flexible private tours of California's Central Coast and Yosemite National Park give you opportunities to experience these destinations on your own terms. You'll see and do the things that interest you, and spend as much or as little time as you like enjoying each stop and activity.

Our tours are exclusively for private groups of up to 14 people. We strive for a relaxed, informal atmosphere, enjoying the company of our clients as much as we enjoy being able to show them around our favorite spots.

Our unique, simple approach: We provide options; you choose what's right for your tour.
You're going to love our flexibility. Rather than presenting you with an itinerary that's set in stone, we let you know what's available for each destination or route, and guide you in deciding where you want to devote your time, and in which activities you'd like to participate.

Tour Components
In order to most effectively guide your choices, we break each tour down into three commponents:

Destination or Route
The foundation of each tour is the destination or route. Our base description for any tour is either the destination or, in some cases, a route that includes more than one destination. Simply put, it's where we're going to take you. How you spend your time while you're there is up to you.

Our bottom-line price for each tour is based simply upon the destination or route.

Points of Focus
At each destination, and along each route, there are a variety of highlight places where you can opt to focus your time. We let you know what each place or attraction has to offer. You decide where you'd like to devote your time. Of course, you're free to change your mind during your tour, should you find you like something more or less than you anticipated.

The places you choose to focus your time within a destination or route will not affect the price of your tour.

Special Activities and Attractions
A variety of special activities and attractions offer opportunities to enrich your experience. Attractions such as Hearst Castle and the Monterey Bay Aquarium are must-do experiences for many clients visiting San Simeon or Monterey. By incorporating hands-on activities like kayaking with sea otters or horseback riding on the Big Sur Coast into your tour, you'll come away with a more intimate appreciation of the destination.

Many special activities and attractions have costs associated with them that can either be added to the cost of your tour, or paid separately to the businesses hosting them.
