Last August I felt like something was missing from my life and finally being the position where I had no ties and enough money myself and my best friend booked a spontaneous trip with Trek America to tour the West Coast of the USA. California is always somewhere I had wanted to see having seen most of the East Coast & Southern states a few years ago. I am in no way a traveller, although I am envious of the people who can leave their jobs and go around the world for months at a time so a 7 day 'travelling holiday' seemed a perfect way to fit in what I wanted to see.
We booked the trek departing on the 7th February 2017 with one nights stay at the departing hotel in San Francisco the night before and two nights in LA at the drop off hotel on the way back (So that we could visit Disneyland nearby!)
Our itinerary was as follows;

Trek America offer two types of tours - Camping and Budget Lodging Tours (Hotels & Hostels). You are put with a group of up to 13 likeminded strangers and travel around with them and your tour leader for the duration of your trip! Our tour consisted of two groups of people travelling together an single travellers - A good mix of both men and women!
The tour leader we had Allen is an absolute credit to the company, we had an emergency evacuation when leaving Yosemite national park which ended up our one hour journey turning into four but he took everything in his stride turning all the negative situations into positive ones and ensuring we were all safe whilst having fun. His knowledge of everywhere we went and his eased outlook on life was amazing and I feel like I'd only want to do another tour if it was guaranteed he would be leading it!
Doing this trek is honestly by far the best thing I have ever done in my life. Seeing so many famous sights in a short amount of time, meeting so many different people, and most importantly sharing it all with my best friend! If you are looking for an easy, hassle free way to travel america I would recommend this for anyone.
