Join us for a spectacular day trip that starts with a visit to the charming Old Pasadena District. Known for its open-air plazas and over 300 shops and restaurants, it offers the perfect opportunity to shop, explore, and enjoy a leisurely lunch. Afterward, we’ll head to the Norton Simon Museum, home to an extraordinary collection of European, Asian, and American art.

At the museum, you’ll be treated to a private, guided tour of the Gold: Enduring Power, Sacred Craft exhibition, featuring 60 stunning works of art from South and Southeast Asia, Europe, North Africa, and North America. These pieces span from around 1000 BCE to the 20th century, providing a rich exploration of gold’s cultural and artistic significance. In addition to the exhibition tour, you'll also have time to explore the museum’s renowned permanent collection galleries on your own.

We’ll make sure your day is effortless and enjoyable! The travel program includes round-trip luxury coach transportation, a light breakfast, museum admission, a private tour of the exhibition, and a dinner box with wine for the ride home.
