California Deals

Spring is prime time to visit California -- and Travelzoo has deals across the state for all types of travelers. Trips to bigger cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco are often cheaper in spring, and there's usually less smog (LA) and risk of rain (SF) then, as well. The same is true for beach towns like San Diego and the wine country from the central coast down to Temecula. And visiting Lake Tahoe or Palm Springs outside of the peak winter period will show you some literal (and figurative) green.

California Express - 3 Days Tour

  • Christmas & New Year

California Express - 3 Days

I especially like the Yoshimite national Park.

Wild West – 5 days Tour

  • In-depth Cultural

Wild West – 5 days

Overall, we had a great experience. This was our first bus tour, and our main tour guide, Roberto, was wonderful! He was very communicative and helpful. He fully explained where we were going and what we were doing and answered any and all questions, and it was interesting to see him switch so effortlessly between Italian and English. He deserves a raise for his five-star service. However, the other tour guides we interacted with on the last day seemed the complete opposite due to their incredibly non-upfront communications skills. For example, when we left the hotel to head back to LA, we were not told how long the trip was going to take, if and when we were going to stop, just nothing; they made me wonder what sort of criteria you have to meet to be a tour guide. Also, one made some slightly racist comments, which if you are dealing with an international clientele, I feel like you should learn to be more neutral in your interactions with others. It took some adjusting having to be on such a strict schedule. Some places you stopped hours at; some maybe 20 minutes. One time our bus's AC didn't work, so given the heat wave, you can imagine what that felt like. But generally it felt like being on a passenger on a road trip. If you want to see a lot in a compressed amount of time and don't mind not being so in control of planning or on a full bus, this tour is worth giving a shot. It definitely was a memorable adventure.

California National Park Discovery Tour

  • Hiking & Trekking

California National Park Discovery

the tour itself was amazing. The national parks do not disappoint. The travel accomodations were very cramped and uncomfortable. I am only 5 foot tall and I was cramped in this 14 passenger van. Food opportunities were limited.

Hiking in Yosemite National Park Tour

Hiking in Yosemite National Park

Yosemite National Park is breathtaking. As I walked along the hikes that we went on, many times I did not know which direction to look since there was so much natural beauty.

Northern California (8 Days) Tour

  • Coach / Bus

Northern California (8 Days)

The Northern California trip was fantastic. Impressed by the thoughtful trip planning and pacing. Our tour director, Jason, was one of the best we’ve ever had. Would DEFINITELY recommend this trip to others!

Golden West Adventure Tour

Golden West Adventure

Overall trip was nice. Lots of free time to explore yourself. Very relaxing kind of trips. Lots of optional tours for us to choose from. The tour guide was knowledgable and friendly. We had a reliable and skillful driver.

Natural Highlights of California National Geographic Journeys Tour

Natural Highlights of California National Geographic Journeys

Brochures/tour information should be updated. Covid-19 requirements for example. This did not have even a single mention at the welcome reception or at any time during the tour, despite the brochure, and could have saved some luggage. Sunset cruise at San Francisco is another example where the tour information mentioned included hor d'oeuvres and two drinks, but just one drink was the reality. Tour leader could provide clearer instructions/information by stating 'left' or 'right' rather than pointing saying 'here' or 'there' when she is doing this from the driver's seat and guests at the back of the van cannot see. She was informed of this and asked, but complied only that one time. Last minute guests (not me) who joined the sunset cruise at SFO were ripped off, having to pay USD68pp even if it included a transfer to the wharf whilst the direct operator price was USD36.

4 Day Death Valley Yosemite San Francisco from Las Vegas Lodging Tour

4 Day Death Valley Yosemite San Francisco from Las Vegas Lodging

The trip was made excellent because of our guide, Chelsea. She took us to unknown spots, was patient, flexible, and a pleasure to be around. The only thing I would take issue with is the lodging at Yellowstone. I understand we are in a dead zone, but the ridiculous amount they wanted to charge for the wi-fi blew us away! It was more than what cruise ships charge! Other than that, we having nothing but rave reviews for the tour and our guide!

4 Day Death Valley Yosemite San Francisco Camping Tour

4 Day Death Valley Yosemite San Francisco Camping

Yosemite was a dream! Yosemite was amazing! 3rd tour with Bindlestiff. Haley was a fun guide and got us from place to place safely. The campgrounds were great and close to the parks. Having a tour guide makes traveling so much more relaxing. You don't have to stress about planning anything or do the driving. Definitely recommend these tours.

San Francisco & Yosemite Express 3D/2N (From Los Angeles) Tour

San Francisco & Yosemite Express 3D/2N (From Los Angeles)

The San Francisco/Yosemite tour was awesome. It exceeded my expectations. Our guide Dorit was really good and the itinerary was balanced covering all major spots with decent breaks in between. I highly recommend this trip to anyone who is looking for a broad west coast trip within a short span of time.

What people love about california tours.

Great guides, scenery, driver and comfort level. Just enough to whet our appetite for another Tour Radar tour in the future.
I love my tour guide Pasquale. He is the most sweetest, friendliest, kind, generous, and genuine tour guide I know. He really knows everything during my trip. He’s very easy going and I had the best experience ever in the 5 days I was traveling. Amazing experience and I would highly recommend Pasquale if you wanna travel with him and experience so much travelling for Wild West tour. Thank you so much an amazing and unforgettable experience.

More About California

From the north to the south, you'll find more than enough to do in this golden state – so much so you'll need to plan for a second trip to get it all in! Up north, you can lose yourself in the vineyards of Napa Valley & Sonoma and taste some of the finest wine produced in the country. While you're up there head over to San Francisco and check out the Golden Gate Bridge. Did you know that San Francisco is also home to Ghirardelli? Make sure to stop by Ghirardelli Square to indulge in some chocolatey goodness, and while you're in the neighborhood swing by Boudin Bakery to load up on some delicious baked goods. Down south, you'll discover a plethora of activities along the Orange County Coast, and just a bit further inland is the delightful area of Palm Springs – a desert oasis with stylish hotels, countless golf courses, hot springs, and hiking trails. As you make your way further south to San Diego you'll find those classic California beaches filled with sunshine, surfers and palm trees. Be sure to sign up for a surf lesson or check out the famous roller coaster The Giant Dipper at Belmont Park for a different kind of thrill. No matter what city you visit, California has something for everyone.

"California is a dream destination, from star-gazing in LA and sipping world-class wines in Napa, to marvelling at the national parks, and even diving into Disneyland, the happiest place on earth."

Travel Director

Take a city tour of San Francisco

San Francisco is one of the most incredible destinations in California, and we’ll take you on a sightseeing tour of all the highlights from the iconic Golden Gate Bridge and the scenic Fisherman’s Wharf dotted with sea lions, to the bustling Union Square, the gorgeous 1,500-acre Presidio Park and the historic neighborhoods like North Beach and Chinatown.

See the quaint Carmel-by-the-Sea

This charming Monterey city is a little slice of heaven, famed for being dog-friendly and home to an inspiring community of artists. With over half of the residents once devoted to the arts (Clint Eastwood was the town’s Mayor!), you’ll find writers, poets, actors and musicians at every turn as you stroll down Ocean Avenue lined with cafés, boutiques and galleries.

Take a scenic drive through Napa Wine Country

As one of the world’s most famous wine regions, you’ll love driving through the beautiful hillside vineyards and countryside scenery of Napa Valley. We’ll even stop at a local winery to explore their stunning vineyards, learn all about the process of winemaking, and of course, enjoy a tasting of the finest Napa Valley wines.

Visit Yosemite National Park

California is renowned for its spectacular national parks and Yosemite is the jewel in its crown. This UNESCO-listed park is packed with wonders, from cascading waterfalls, blooming meadows and emerald valleys, to the iconic El Capitan, glowing in the setting sun. We’ll even stay overnight in a cosy lodge just a stone’s throw from Yosemite Falls.

Discover 'The Salad Bowl of the World' in Salinas Valley

You’ll dive into the world's salad bowl with a Local Specialist, as you take a private farm tour to learn all about the advanced farming techniques and fruit and vegetable production in the incredible Salinas Valley. Admire the lush crops, discover the fascinating history of the valley, and taste some fresh produce for yourself.

Our top 5 things to do in California

There are so many incredible places to visit in California and we’ll show you the very best of the state, from the Golden Gate Bridge to Salinas Valley.

Los Angeles County Museum of Art

As the largest art museum in the western United States, the LACMA is not to be missed. Over a million visitors wander the halls every year, marvelling at the diverse collections, including Asian art, Islamic art and Latin American art, with pre-Columbian masterpieces and contemporary works from the likes of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera.

Autry Museum of the American West

The glory days of the Wild West may be over, but they live on in the Autry Museum in Los Angeles. You’ll discover over half a million artworks and artefacts from the American frontier, ranging from Western film memorabilia and a replica movie set of an Old Western town, to Annie Oakley’s engraved golden pistols, and a mahogany saloon with a roulette wheel.

California Science Center

Located in Los Angeles, the California Science Center is one of the most hands-on museums you’ll find in the country. From the world’s largest display of Lego art and the space shuttle Endeavour, to a 7-storey IMAX theater, high-wire bicycle, climbing wall, earthquake simulator, and a virtual reality exhibit, this museum is hours of fun.

Best museums in California

Our California tour packages will show you where to find the most fascinating museums in the state, from amazing aquariums to the story of the American West.

Avocado Toast

If you love avocados, you’ve got to visit California. These creamy green delights have been mashed, sliced and spread on toast in California for over a century, and it’s only in the last few decades that this trendy dish really took off around the world. Just ask your California guide where to find the very best avocado toast and lose yourself in avocado heaven.

Hailed as the signature dish of San Francisco, this seafood stew was developed by Italian immigrants in the late 1800s. Cioppino is traditionally made from the catch of the day, like shrimp, squid, scallops, clams, crab and fish, then melded with a tomato and wine sauce. Be sure to mop up every last drop with a piece of crusty sourdough bread. Delicious!

Known as ‘California’s Cut’, tri-tip is a Santa Maria style barbecue that takes a triangle cut of top-block sirloin and grills it to perfection. It can be sliced into steaks or cooked as a whole block, but either way, the meat is juicy, tender and packed with flavor. Pair it with Santa-Maria style salsa and grilled garlic bread and you’ve got the ultimate Californian dish.

Best food in California

With multicultural influences, fresh produce and farm-to-table experiences, California’s dining scene is truly special and our California holidays will show you where to taste the best.

What to pack for California

Whattopack8748707621000x1000

With miles of golden, sunny coastline, you can’t resist taking a dip in the ocean or soaking in a pool on your California tour.

Reusable water bottle

California is one of America’s greenest states and you can help reduce your environmental footprint by refilling your own bottle at free water stations around the state.

Big appetite

With so many diverse cuisines and everything from gourmet fine dining to delicious food trucks, prepare to loosen your belt when you travel California.

Sun protection

With almost 300 days of sunshine a year, you’ll need to stock up on sunscreen and bring your sunglasses and a hat on your California trip.

A warm jacket

Despite the heat and sunshine, it can get cold in some parts of California, especially the misty redwood forests, so come prepared with a cosy jacket.

The Sweetest Small Towns in California

Look beyond the golden state’s bustling cities and explore these nine appealing towns on your next visit..

  • Copy Link copied

Main street in Guerneville

Guerneville has been a favorite vacation spot for San Francisco residents for over 100 years, but more are discovering its charms.

Photo by Jake Stangel

You could join the hordes angling for a selfie in front of the Hollywood sign on your next California adventure . . . or you could venture off the beaten path and hit one of the Golden State’s sweet small towns instead. With so many unique destinations to explore, your biggest struggle may be deciding which direction to drive. But any of the charming small towns below (all with populations under 12,000) would be a California dream.

Guerneville

It’s tough to think of a quirkier California town than Guerneville . From the retro vibe of Main Street to the plethora of street art, the long-standing LGBTQ-friendly destination offers broad appeal to travelers. It’s home to some of Sonoma County’s cutest shops and awe-inspiring redwood trees. The must-hit spots include the Farmhand gourmet deli and Stumptown Brewery, which overlooks the Russian River. And it might be illegal to exit the town without a mandatory stop at Big Bottom Market (home of Oprah’s favorite biscuits).

Chef, proprietor, and Food Network star Crista Luedtke’s boon eat + drink is one of Guerneville’s best dining destinations, featuring everything from decadent mac-n-cheese to brioche bread pudding.

Where to stay

Book now: The Stavrand

Out-of-towners and locals will appreciate the 21 highly coveted rooms at the Stavrand , a six-acre estate that offers an easy stroll to Guerneville’s Main Street and several activities and amenities (like a pool and hot tub, lawn games, complimentary evening wine, and s’mores kits) for all ages.

See our full guide to Guerneville .

Waterfront Sausalito San Francisco Bay Marin County California Usa.

Sausalito is just across the bridge from San Francisco but feels very different.

russellkord.com

Seven miles north of downtown San Francisco via the Golden Gate Bridge, Sausalito is renowned for its Mediterranean aesthetic, shops selling local jewelry, novelty gifts, toys, and more, as well as memorable views of the city, Alcatraz, and both the Golden Gate and Bay bridges.

With a population of 7,199, the city is a haven for gourmands, gallery connoisseurs, and R&R aficionados. Sushi Ran, Bar Bocce, Copita, and Poggio are among the city’s most beloved dining destinations, and Scrimshaw Gallery and Daniel Merriam’s Bubble Street Gallery are musts for art enthusiasts. There’s also easy access to Marin County’s best hiking areas, including the 3.4-mile Tennessee Valley Trail , which is easy enough for various ages and includes bird-watching and horseback-riding opportunities.

Book now: The Inn Above Tide

A true Sausalito weekend includes a stay at the 33-room luxury boutique hotel the Inn Above Tide , which provides elite amenities and some of the best views of the Bay, the city skyline, Angel Island, and beyond.

Bart's Books & Mediation Mount at sunset

Bart’s Books is an essential Ojai stop.

Photos by Michelle Heimerman

Physically, Ojai is situated about two hours north of Los Angeles; energetically, it’s about a thousand worlds away from the hustle and bustle of the major metropolis. With a population of 7,540, Ojai provides an intimate sense of community and connection, thanks to an active art scene, an array of wildlife preserves, waterfalls, gardens, and hiking trails, and opportunities for spiritual experiences.

Bibliophiles flock to Bart’s Books , deemed the world’s largest outdoor bookstore and purveyor of 130,000 used and new titles. The Casa Barranca Tasting Room is where visitors will find an array of award-winning organic wines, and the Ojai Certified Farmers’ Market has fresh fruits, veggies, pastries, and more.

Originally inhabited by Chumash Indians (visitors will want to visit the Ojai Valley Museum for more of the tribe’s history and culture), the area of Ojai has long been considered a “spiritual vortex,” and there continues to be no shortage of enlightenment retreats and healing centers. One of the area’s most well-known spiritual sanctuaries is Meditation Mount , a nonprofit dedicated to events and programs rooted in group meditation practices aiming to better “humanity and the world.”

Book now: Ojai Valley Inn

To truly get an immersive experience, book a stay at the Ojai Valley Inn , which offers everything from a 31,000-square-foot spa to an artist cottage and apothecary.

Carmel-by-the-Sea

Anyone who tuned into HBO’s Big Little Lies a few years back is more than likely obsessed with its dreamy coastal setting—and Carmel-by-the-Sea is at least partially responsible for those scenic shots. The small beach town of 3,146 in Monterey County is known for white sand, attractive shop-filled streets, and world-class dining.

Aubergine , located at L’Auberge Carmel , is the city’s true culinary pride and joy, earning a coveted star in the 2019 Michelin Guide and serving seasonal dishes from executive chef-director Justin Cogley. Lucia Restaurant & Bar located at Bernardus Lodge & Spa (in nearby Carmel Valley ) offers a quintessential upscale California experience, with the option for alfresco dining when the weather cooperates (which it often does in Carmel). And Chez Noir ’s chefs create French- and Spanish-inspired dishes sourced with seasonal, local ingredients. Although the town itself is just one square mile, Carmel is jam-packed with culture, boasting more than 80 art galleries, including Galerie Plein Aire and Winfield Gallery .

Book now: L’Auberge Carmel

Located a few blocks from Carmel Beach, L’Auberge Carmel dates back to 1929 and features distinctly European architecture and design details. Following a complete restoration and subsequent million-dollar remodel, the hotel offers all the modern must-haves (hello, high-speed WiFi) while retaining its Old World charm.

Solvang California at sunset

This Santa Barbara County town is known for its Danish-style architecture.

Iv-olga / Shutterstock

This Santa Barbara County town, with a population of 6,126, is known for its Danish-style architecture and extensive wine offerings. Dubbed “the Danish Capital of America,” Solvang dates back to 1911 when Danish immigrants purchased nearly 10,000 acres of Santa Ynez Valley land and established a community far from home. Residents have meticulously preserved the founders’ original vision, with European influences in every street, shop, and cellar in sight.

The 700-seat Solvang Festival Theater is the main venue for major concerts, and nearby are over 120 vineyards to visit. After all, the 2004 film Sideways was filmed almost entirely on location throughout Solvang and the rest of Santa Ynez Valley ( Alma Rosa Winery is one of the fictional characters’ favorite spots). Recently, celebrities from Kim Kardashian to Billie Eilish have visited family-owned Solvang Bakery and the cast of Vanderpump Rules (#TeamAriana!) stayed at the Landsby , a Scandinavian-inspired boutique hotel that’s perfect for a group trip. Solvang visitors will also have easy access to plenty of other inviting small towns in the area, including Los Olivos, Los Alamos, and Buellton.

Book now: Corque Hotel

The town’s newest hospitality boutique, Corque Hotel , is an updated take on Solvang’s sweet sensibilities, with modern rustic decor and easy access to all of the local attractions.

It may only occupy two and a half square miles, but the nearby Santa Ynez Valley town of Los Olivos (population: 1,020) makes the most of that sparse space with an impressively dense concentration of 27 wineries. Aside from the town’s multitude of grape-based attractions, Los Olivos has a rich history dating back to 1861, when the Overland Coast Line Stage Station was established just south of the destination. With a stagecoach route running through Los Olivos, originating in San Francisco, and traveling all the way to San Diego, the site became an important piece of California lore. Thanks to the town’s storied past, the historical walking tour is one of the best ways to explore the surroundings while taking in some of the area’s renowned architecture (like the first Protestant church in the valley, Berean Baptist, and the 121-year-old Los Olivos General Store). The culinary scene is also a big draw, led by the elegant Bar Le Côte , which celebrates local seafood with influences from Spain and Portugal. The perfect time to plan a visit? Book a stay in early summer to enjoy the annual Jazz and Olive Festival or late fall to coincide with the annual Taste of the Santa Ynez Valley .

Book now: Fess Parker Wine Country Inn

There’s no better retreat from reality in Los Olivos than the Fess Parker Wine Country Inn , a quiet, 19-room boutique hotel perfectly outfitted for weekend getaways and romantic escapes. The inn’s Nella Kitchen & Bar is also a dining destination for Italian-inspired cuisine concocted with local ingredients.

For a truly uncommon small-town experience, California locals and visitors alike flock to Avalon, the only incorporated city on Catalina Island, about 22 miles southwest of Los Angeles. While Catalina is also home to the village of Two Harbors (a great spot for mountain biking, kayaking, and stand-up paddleboarding), Avalon is the place to find dining destinations, theaters, and one-of-a-kind gift shops. Families can spend the afternoon bowling and vying for bragging rights at Three Palms Avalon Arcade or partake in a Haunted Catalina ghost tour . Those seeking relaxation will have their pick of spa destinations, including A Touch of Heaven and Avalon Massage Therapy . Also worth investigating: a cruise session with Catalina Island Sailing or a hike along the Garden-to-Sky trail .

Book now: Avalon Hotel

The aptly named Avalon Hotel prides itself on thoughtful details (like handmade soaps in every bathroom) and wrap-style balconies that offer panoramic ocean views.

See our weekend getaway guide to Catalina Island .

This San Diego mountain town has historic roots in the 1870s gold rush, and the destination’s sweet, small-town appeal still feels magical in the modern day. Known nowadays for its abundant apple orchards, Julian (population: 1,377) is home to a huge selection of apple pies. Along with that classic American staple, local haunt Julian Café & Bakery serves old-school dishes like roast beef with mashed potatoes and country fried chicken and waffles, while the 1950s-themed Miner’s Diner specializes in nostalgic milkshakes, malts, and hand-mixed sodas. Main Street also features a string of art galleries, antique shops, jewelry stores, and more for afternoon shopping excursions.

The town occupies a prime location within the Cuyamaca Mountains, which makes it an ideal spot for outdoor activities including horseback riding, road biking, and hiking. Campers will appreciate the plentiful options at Lake Cuyamaca, which has cabins as well as space for RVs and tents. Here you can spread out a picnic, go boating, and more.

Book now: Butterfield Bed & Breakfast

A true Julian experience involves a cozy stay at Butterfield Bed & Breakfast , which features five homey guest rooms and a daily two-course breakfast.

Out-of-state visitors tend to think of Napa as California’s shining star of wine culture, but Healdsburg is where the locals head to enjoy world-class vino, along with Michelin-star cuisine, handmade wares, and one-of-a-kind antiques. Home to a population of 11,709 residents, the Sonoma County town sits at the juncture of three major wine regions: Dry Creek Valley, Russian River Valley, and Alexander Valley. A pro tip before heading out for a day of tasting: Visit the historic Oakville Grocery , founded in 1881, which is best known for delicious grab-and-go pastries and hearty, signature sandwiches (like Rocky’s Reuben and the cheesy Wagon Wheel). Then visit any of Healdsburg’s 92 wineries or 26 tasting rooms for some flavor, ambience, and relaxation. A few of the top spots include the 1,200-acre Jordan Vineyard and Winery specializing in cabernet sauvignon and chardonnay, and dazzling views, and the charming, family-owned Wilson Winery , featuring an array of award-winning pours and laid-back patio seating. Restaurants, including the 3-Michelin-star SingleThread Farms , serve seasonal, decadent multicourse meals to round out the experience.

Book now: Hotel Healdsburg ; Montage

Combining modern luxury with country simplicity in the heart of town, Hotel Healdsburg features contemporary decor and a must-visit spa. The Montage, meanwhile, is set on a large estate surrounded by vineyards and offers exception French-inspired dining at its Hazel Hill restaurant.

Best places to visit in may 2024.

With its pleasantly warm weather and thinned crowds, May is the perfect time to take a trip before the expensive summer season. Considering sights, weather, traveler sentiment and annual events (among other factors), U.S. News rounded up the best places to visit in May. Whether you're looking for an outdoor adventure in a national park, a quick Memorial Day getaway or a leisurely beach vacation , you can't go wrong with these destinations. Vote for your favorite locales below to help determine next year's list.

Bryce Canyon National Park

Laguna beach, st. vincent & the grenadines, victoria & vancouver island, yellowstone national park.

california travel deals

When May comes around in Bryce Canyon National Park, the snow is nearly gone, which means the park's main road and popular trails are likely to be open. Highs are typically in the 60s during the day, too – ideal conditions for hiking and biking this Utah park's paths. Visitor numbers start to ramp up this month, but it's still early enough in the season that you're unlikely to have to jostle for a view at the popular Bryce Point, which overlooks Bryce Amphitheater, a landscape of otherworldly rock spires (called hoodoos).

california travel deals

This Portuguese island chain in the Atlantic Ocean offers a little bit of everything for active travelers, from geoparks and waterfall hikes to paragliding. Though the weather here is always a bit unpredictable, the chances of wind and rain are lower in May. The water temperature also begins to warm up for must-do activities like snorkeling or swimming with dolphins, and with fewer swells than the winter months, beginner surfers will feel more comfortable trying to hang ten. As an added bonus, the biggest festival in the Azores – the Feasts of Santo Cristo dos Milagres – typically occurs in May.

california travel deals

Travelers looking for a vacation filled with unique and heart-pumping activities should set their sights on Cappadocia. This mountainous region in central Turkey is home to a UNESCO-listed national park, centuries-old underground cities, ancient cave dwellings, magnificent rock formations and more. Plus, thanks to average temperatures in the 60s and 70s in May, activities like soaring high above the Göreme Valley on a hot air balloon tour and driving a four-wheel-drive vehicle past fairy chimneys couldn't be more pleasant.

california travel deals

As one of the warmest and driest times of year in Palawan, May welcomes travelers with open arms. Take advantage of the minimal rainfall by experiencing all of the outdoor activities and attractions that this Philippine island has to offer –spoiler alert, there are a lot. Spend time relaxing on Palawan's white sand beaches, island-hopping or even swimming with gentle whale sharks. Water sports are popular in this destination as well, from diving Tubbataha Reef to kayaking El Nido's Big Lagoon.  

california travel deals

Visiting Granada, Spain, in May is a no-brainer. Average temperatures in the mid-70s, blooming flower displays (at Generalife Gardens) and a full roster of events make this Andalusian city a must-visit in the spring. Día de la Cruz and Feria del Corpus Christi, two of the city's most popular celebrations, are both held in May, and travelers won't want to miss seeing Granada come alive with music, flamenco dancers and more. Save time during your trip for a guided tour of the Alhambra and strolling through the Albaicín neighborhood.

california travel deals

May falls within this Peruvian city's winter season, though you probably wouldn't notice thanks to its consistently mild temperatures (highs hover in the 60s). This month rarely sees rain showers, and you'll encounter fewer tourists at archaeological wonders like La Catedral – which sits in the restaurant- and coffee shop-filled Plaza de Armas – and Machu Picchu – a bucket list destination and UNESCO World Heritage Site located about 50 miles northwest of Cusco. If you're up for a challenge, hike the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. This difficult trek through the area's towering mountains takes about four days to complete.

california travel deals

With 33 beaches, this eastern Caribbean island is a sun worshipper's dream, and May temperatures in the upper 70s and 80s are perfect for basking on its white sands . Spend warm days venturing to offshore cays, exploring fishing villages and watching yacht races during the Anguilla Regatta, typically held every May. Since this is the start of the island's rainy season, the weather can be wetter and more humid than the winter months, but visitors will be rewarded with cheaper accommodations. 

california travel deals

May is a great time for a trip to this seaside Spanish city before the heat and humidity become unbearable. Can't-miss architectural marvels to check out include Antoni Gaudí's whimsical Park Güell and the Gothic-style Sagrada Família. Budget time for visiting some of Barcelona's highly regarded museums, such as the Picasso Museum, and relax at Barceloneta beach before stopping at a nearby seafood restaurant for some of the best paella in the city. What's more, the city plays host to a number of events come May, including film and music festivals

california travel deals

Craggy coastline views, a world-famous aquarium and a superb farm-to-table dining scene draw tourists of all types to Monterey, California. Though temperatures here remain in the 60s for most of the year, rainfall drops significantly in May. Popular festivals also make this a great time of the year to visit. Come early in the month for the Pacific Grove Good Old Days Street Festival, which showcases local artisans and craft vendors, plus a variety of food booths. And near the end of the month, the three-day California Roots Music & Arts Festival celebrates reggae artists.

california travel deals

Visit Laguna Beach for a perfect sunny-and-70, laid-back beach vacation. May is part of this Southern California town's spring shoulder season, so you'll find fewer people on popular stretches of sand like Main Beach and Crescent Bay Beach. Plus, the quieter month is ideal for relaxation-focused activities, such as outdoor yoga and hiking. When travelers need a break from reconnecting with themselves or nature, they can check out Laguna Beach's thriving art scene, which includes hundreds of galleries, studios and public works of art.

california travel deals

Bright turquoise water, gorgeous white sand and lush green vegetation await vacationers in St. Vincent and the Grenadines. Composed of 32 islands and cays, this Caribbean archipelago is perfect for a tropical getaway. May falls between the country's peak winter season and its hurricane-prone low season, making it an ideal time for scuba diving and snorkeling in the Tobago Cays Marine Park, swimming and soaking up some rays at Canouan's beaches and hiking to beautiful waterfalls like Dark View Falls. Travelers will also want to check out the country's 20-acre Botanical Gardens, the oldest available in the Western Hemisphere.

california travel deals

Victoria, British Columbia's capital city, sits on the southern portion of Vancouver Island. Not only does this Canadian destination boast comfortable highs in the low 60s in May, it is just a short ferry ride from Seattle (less than three hours), making it perfect for a quick weekend getaway . Spend your visit strolling through the 55-acre Butchart Gardens, which are bursting with colorful tulips and cherry blossoms come May, then get out on the water on a whale watching tour. Before heading home, don't forget to shop for souvenirs along Government Street.

california travel deals

Considered the birthplace of democracy and drama, Athens boasts a historical legacy that is hard to top. The main reason to visit is to see the ancient city's impressive ruins, which you'll find at the Acropolis and Ancient Agora. For an additional look at Athens' past, check out the incredible Greek artifacts on display at the National Archaeological Museum and the Benaki Museum of Greek Culture. May vacations are especially enjoyable thanks to comfortable daytime temps hovering in the mid-70s.

california travel deals

By late May, most of Yellowstone's trails and must-see attractions are open, welcoming eager nature enthusiasts seeking a breath of fresh air. The average 50-degree temperatures provide a brisk but comfortable atmosphere for a hike on one of the Old Faithful area's trails or a kayaking excursion on Yellowstone Lake. For a glimpse of wildlife, head to Lamar Valley to view wolf pups emerging from their dens. Keep in mind that if you visit during Memorial Day weekend, you'll likely run into crowds.

california travel deals

With warm weather year-round (average temperatures sit in the 80s), there's never a bad time to visit Singapore. But in May, this Asian city-state on the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula welcomes events such as the Singapore Cocktail Festival, the Singapore International Festival of Arts and the Singapore HeritageFest. When you're not enjoying your time at one of Singapore's cultural events, check out top attractions like Gardens by the Bay, a futuristic nature park that is home to the Supertree Observatory and the Cloud Forest.

4 travel secrets of the mega-rich, from a vacation planner for billionaires

By jennifer liu,cnbc • published april 20, 2024 • updated on april 20, 2024 at 8:07 am.

Imagine closing down Versailles to enjoy a private candlelit dinner.

That's the reality for the ultra rich, and people like Jaclyn Sienna India make it happen.

India is the founder of a Sienna Charles , a members-only travel agency that caters to wealthy clients who take million-dollar trips around the world. India recently discussed her work and billionaire clientele in a Q&A with The Cut .

Her company's services include a $75,000 annual tier for unlimited travel and dining reservations, and a $150,000 yearly option to tack on a "lifestyle" component. That includes "arranging spa appointments, recruiting house staff, helping clients build a home gym, whatever they need," India told The Cut.

Get San Diego local news, weather forecasts, sports and lifestyle stories to your inbox. Sign up for NBC San Diego newsletters.

She shared some of the travel secrets of her unthinkably wealthy clients:

1. Penthouse suites are out, yachts are in

Most of India's clients are 55- to 75-year-old ex-finance workers in New York City, but in recent years, she's seen more interest from people in Dallas and Los Angeles who work in finance or film. Her newest clientele are tech VIPs in their 40s and 50s.

Nowhere for the water to go: Dubai flooding shows the world is failing a big climate change drainage test

Top 10 U.S. cities for eco-conscious living—they're almost all on the West Coast

India's typical clients are no stranger to booking hotel suites for $30,000 a night, but it's becoming more passe.

The mega-rich want their accommodations loaded up with their preferred foods, fancy water and drinks as well as other, more-specific requests (a space with seven dog beds, for instance), but training hotel staff on everything within a few days is inefficient.

The trendier thing to do is stay at a villa or yacht owned and rented out by billionaires.

"[The owner] has customized everything, picked his staff, and trained them for expectations that are otherworldly," India said. All of that means her clients can "relax deeply because the staff knows how to deliver excellence every minute."

2. They don't deal with luggage

Unlike the rest of us, the rich aren't worried about airline baggage fees. Then again, they're not schlepping their suitcases at all.

Instead, they ship it, India said: "Just throw a FedEx label on it, and it arrives at your destination the next day."

3. They're not dining out at fancy restaurants

Though Sienna Charles staffers know all the best restaurants and how to get impossible reservations, India says many of her clients don't eat out when they travel.

That's what their private chefs are for, she says.

The chefs travel with clients and help maintain their diet and medical or health goals, India said. She gave an example of one client who traveled to San Francisco for two weeks, brought his chef and only ate out once.

"He has all the money in the world, but he didn't want to go to Michelin-star restaurants," India told The Cut. "A lot of our clients work really, really hard, and it's important for them to have consistency and routine wherever they go."

4. They want unique experiences

If you want to rub shoulders with a billionaire this summer, India said they're increasingly trading the typical hotspots (think: Capri) for more "unique experiences."

"They're taking the yacht around Sardinia or going to smaller islands in Sicily," she said.

Sometimes her clients have specific travel requests, like wanting to take a family trip to Rome in a specific timeframe. More often than not, they're pretty general about their vision and want help with the specific details.

One recent tech billionaire "told me they want to go to Europe in August for nine days, just the couple, no kids," India said. "And that's all they said. This is pretty common."

As for those with more modest means, India's best advice is to "normal" people is to steer away from places where celebrities and influencers abound. Or, at least, recognize that you're unlikely to get a similar A-lister experience if you go.

For example, she said, "The Hamptons are good if you stay at somebody's house and lay out at their pool and you have beach access. But if you go to be a lookie-loo and you're staying at a hotel and the traffic sucks and you can't get into a restaurant because nobody knows who you are, then that's probably not the best destination."
