Golden Gate to Big Sur: Self-Guided Highway 1 Driving Trip

Drive California’s most famous road trip, the Pacific Coast Highway, with four self-guided audio tours in one bundle. One price covers everyone in your car, for less than a single seat on a guided Big Sur bus tour. Begin in San Francisco, from the Ferry Building past Pier 39, Lombard Street and the Presidio to the Golden Gate Bridge. Head south to Carmel-by-the-Sea for its fairytale cottages, beach and 1771 mission. Then follow Highway 1 through Big Sur, past Point Lobos, Bixby Bridge, Point Sur and Nepenthe to McWay Falls. Further south, explore the Santa Ynez Valley wine country made famous by the film Sideways, from Solvang to Los Olivos and the Hitching Post. GPS-triggered narration plays automatically as you drive, with offline maps and audio. Travel over two or three days and keep lifetime access. Allow about 9 hours of narrated driving, plus stops. Unlike a bus tour, you set the pace: start when you want, stop wherever you like, and linger as long as you choose.
