We had Bay Magic create an amazing itinerary of the best of California for my extended family. They arranged all the transportation, made our hotel bookings and even got us into some exclusive locations including some wineries in the Napa Valley that we would have never found on our own. Highly recommended!

It was a fantastic trip!  The group leaders took care of every detail and were attentive of each participant.  Wonderful food, incredible scenery, gorgeous Northern Lights and thrilling dog sled ride.  Thank you!!
