Tour Overview

Although best known for its film studios and Hollywood glitz, Los Angeles has long been one of the best places to see live performances and also to delve into its musical past. With the Legendary Capitol Records, the colourful rock ‘n’ roll history of Sunset Strip and the Rock Walk on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame - music history can be found in abundance. We will continue the Californian music trail up the Pacific Coast Highway to San Francisco before we cross the state line into Nevada, where Frank Sinatra once owned the Cal-Neva Lodge. The musical theme weaves its way throughout this fantastic West Coast Music Tour!

We'll never go anywhere else!

25-May-2023

We have been on several holidays with Travelling Time, and had the best time...We always say it'll never get better, but it does. Lynda, Rachael and Shawn make a heck of a team. They go that step further each and every time, and look after us all beautifully - that's why so many of us come back again and again.

Oklahoma - much more than the song!

20-Oct-2023

I have been many places in the United States and have travelled on a lot of escorted tours...This company - Travelling Time are the absolute best at what they do. I wanted to go to Oklahoma as it was a State that I had not been to before. We were taken to so many attractions that I could not begin to think it could get any better than this...It did, the best, best best company. From the start of the booking process to finishing our tour - they were friendly and helpful. The personal touch is not gone - it is at Travelling Time! I have come back and booked a further two tours with them before my ESTA runs out!!

Well done Travelling Time!

07-Sep-2023

A group of us travelled on your Southern Style Tour… Absolutely brilliant from start to finish! A great value tour with music throughout. Great group who got on brilliantly from our welcome meeting to the end of the trip. Was so well organised, best guide and driver who catered for everyone. Way more included in this tour than in other similar sounding ones - and have to mention the bonus Travelling Time ”Surprises” which are thrown in for good measure. Had a blast, can’t wait until the next one! Travelling Time are the best tour company we have ever been with!
